An AT5 form must be served on a prospective tenant by the landlord before the tenancy begins. The AT5 informs the tenant that the tenancy is a Short Assured Tenancy in terms of Section 32 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988. The form must be served by giving it to the tenant personally or sent by recorded delivery to the tenant's last known address. It is recommended that the landlord serves the form in duplicate and gets one copy back signed by the tenant in acknowledgement of receipt .
The tenancy itself should be covered by use of a Tenancy Agreement.
If at the end of one Short Assured Tenancy the landlord offers the same tenant
another Short Assured Tenancy of the same property, he need not serve another
Form AT5 and the tenancy may be for less than 6 months
This form is also provided in the Tenancy Package for Scotland priced at £35.25 including VAT. The package includes both versions of the Tenancy Agreement, AT5, AT6, Repairing Standard Letter, Ground 2 Notice, Notice to Quit, Section 33 Notice, and Inventory (saving you more than £45 compared to buying the documents individually).
This document is also available as part of a Property Annual Subscription (£70.50) or Full Annual Subscription (£199). These subscriptions give you access to a wide range of documents, packages and forms for a single annual discounted fee.
