The National Landlords Association (NLA) has expanded its operations by launching its own Scottish branch called NLA Scotland.

NLA Scotland was formally started at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, with the body stating that it exists to provide landlords in the private rental sector with advice, support and information.

David Salusbury, NLA’s chairman, said the move was a ‘critical development’ for this sector in Scotland. He added that it would mean Scottish members getting more help as they dealt with ‘a very wide range of issues which impact on landlords up and down the country’.
