List your rental property in Perth

Perth's rental market draws a real mix of people. The city centre and streets around the railway station suit professionals and commuters who want to be near the High Street, the Concert Hall and the quick links south to the Central Belt. Areas like Craigie, Friarton and Bridgend bring in families and longer-term renters, while the proximity of Perth UHI and the colleges keeps a steady flow of students and younger tenants looking each year. Out in the Perthshire villages - Scone, Methven, Almondbank and the Carse - demand leans towards houses with gardens and a bit of space. Knowing which of these your property speaks to helps you write an advert that reaches the right tenant rather than everyone at once.

The 2026 letting landscape is shaped by the Renters' Rights Act. Section 21 no-fault evictions are gone, tenancies now run as assured periodic agreements rather than fixed terms, and landlords are expected to give tenants the official Information Sheet 2026 at the start. The practical upshot is that the relationship is built to be more open-ended and more clearly documented from day one, so getting your paperwork and your processes right at the outset matters more than it used to. It's worth reading up on what the Act asks of you before your first tenant moves in.

Letting in Perth is also a yourself-or-agent decision, and Domovita treats both as valid. You can advertise the property yourself, vet enquiries, arrange viewings and manage the tenancy directly - plenty of landlords prefer the control and the closer contact. Or you can hand it to a local letting agent who'll handle referencing, compliance and the day-to-day, which suits anyone short on time or letting from a distance. We make either path straightforward and we're honest about what each involves.

Whichever route you take, compliance is non-negotiable: safety certificates, deposit protection, the right tenancy paperwork and proper repair standards all have to be in place. Landlord registration and any licensing requirements are set by the local council, and you should check directly with Perth and Kinross Council what applies to your property before you advertise - rules vary by area and by property type, so don't assume. Get the foundations right and a Domovita listing will put your Perth rental in front of the tenants already searching here. List it yourself when you're ready, or bring in a local agent - your call.
