Thinking of swapping into Scotland? With a mutual exchange you take on the other tenant's landlord, so it pays to know who the landlords are and how their own tenants rate them. This page lists every Scottish housing association and council with 1,000 or more homes, using the same official figures as our landlord league table.
Scores are for each landlord as a whole, not just its homes here. Landlords with fewer than 1,000 homes don't have to publish tenant survey results, so they aren't rated.

Can I Swap My Home With A Tenant In Scotland?
Yes. A mutual exchange lets council and housing association tenants swap homes anywhere in the UK, with both landlords' permission. When you swap, you become the other tenant's landlord's tenant, so it's worth checking that landlord's record on this page first.
