The SafeDeposits Scotland Charitable Trust delivers its mission through a grant funded programme of activities. Since its inception in 2012, the Trust has funded a wide range of organisations to help raise the standards of the private rented sector.
The latest SafeDeposits Scotland Charitable Trust projects
The Voice of the Landlord Survey Scotland is a national, annual study funded by the SafeDeposits Scotland Charitable Trust. It explores the characteristics and experiences of landlords operating within the Scottish private rented sector.
The Voice of the Tenant Survey Scotland is a regular national survey funded by the SafeDeposits Scotland Charitable Trust. It examines tenants' experiences of living in the private rented sector in Scotland, tracking how these experiences evolve over time. It explores key issues such as affordability, security of tenure, and property conditions.
Understanding landlord behaviour and decision making is important for researchers, policy makers and practitioners concerned with how to raise standards in the sector. However, existing research on landlord behaviour has mostly been explored from the perspective of tenants with a focus on its impact, rather than on the causes.
