Thank you for visiting our Housing Mediation Project page. The project ran from 2018-2022 thanks to a grant from SafeDeposits Scotland Trust. The final housing report can be accessed here.
We may still be able to consider your case under the Mediation Clinic and would invite you to get in touch via mediationclinic@strath.ac.uk.
The project worked hard to promote early resolution within the housing sector, with a particular focus on private rented property. The aim of the project was to offer landlords, tenants and agents a cost-effective, pragmatic and less stressful means of resolving their disputes consensually while helping them preserve relationships. All of this contributes to good practice in the sector and reduces the likelihood of evictions with their attendant social cost. The pandemic only heightened the need for such a service.
This Project provided the following Mediation Services for:
- Private rented sector landlords and tenants as an informal alterative to the work of the Housing and Property Chamber
- Landlords and tenants using a tenancy deposit scheme, who have a dispute about a deposit which cannot be resolved by the scheme's dispute resolution service
- Other disputes related to Housing, such as factoring disputes involving tenanted properties and disputes between tenants and letting agents.
