ABOUT
SafeDeposits Scotland Charitable Trust is a grant-giving charity aimed at promoting education, training and best practice in Scotland's private rented sector.
The Trust believes that those actively involved in the sector will have innovative and creative ideas to ensure it is the best that it can be for years to come.
The SafeDeposits Scotland Charitable Trust invites landlords, letting agents and tenants to suggest possible projects to be supported depending on available funds.


AIMS
The key aims of our projects are:
-
To advance education, particularly in relation to (a) best practice in the management of private rented housing and (b) legal rights and obligations which are of particular relevance to those who are involved in the provision or management of private rented housing or who hold tenancies within the private rented sector.
-
To advance conflict resolution through promoting the use of alternative dispute resolution processes for the more efficient resolution of disputes between landlords and tenants within the private rented housing sector.
-
To support other charities or organisations in overcoming barriers for individuals to access and sustain good quality, decent, safe, compliant and energy efficient housing in the private rented sector.
-
To promote, undertake and support research into factors that contribute to hardship and disadvantage in the private rented sector and the most appropriate ways to mitigate these and to publish the useful results.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
SafeDeposits Scotland Charitable Trust will consider all initial expressions of interest, and may be able to fund some quickly. Other ideas may need further development before they are eligible.
Ideas should fulfill the aims of SafeDeposits Scotland Charitable Trust by enhancing the workings of the private rented sector in Scotland through advancing education or information, and providing tangible benefits to current or prospective landlords and tenants.
