Which rules apply in Johnstone?

The rules below are the Scotland-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Johnstone before we price.

Landlords must also be on the Scottish landlord register, renewed every 3 years.
Room sizes are set by each council; East Lothian, for example, uses 6.5 m² for a single room with a shared lounge and kitchen, and 10 m² without.
Kitchen, WC and bathroom ratios come from council standards; one WC and one bath or shower per 5 people is a common figure.
The tolerable standard requires interlinked smoke alarms in the main living room and circulation spaces and a heat alarm in the kitchen; licensed HMOs must meet the council’s higher standard.
