Rules that apply in Scotland
For leased premises, fabric condition matters at lease end: keeping a maintenance record and photos can reduce dilapidations claims against the tenant. In Scotland, fire safety duties sit under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, and businesses must separate key recyclable materials under the Waste (Scotland) Regulations 2012.
