Tenant Hardship Loan Fund

The Tenant Hardship Loan Fund is now open for applications from eligible private and social rented sector tenants.

The Scottish Government wishes to offer a loan to assist private and social sector tenants, where they are experiencing difficulties paying their rent because of COVID-19 restrictions.  The aim is to help tenants avoid eviction due to rent arrears.

For help with arrears that have arisen since 1 January 2020 and/or pay up to 3 months future rent payments, you can apply at https://tenanthardshiploan.est.org.uk/.
