Yes. In Scotland a landlord can ask for a deposit of up to two months' rent, though one month is the most common in Dundee. The deposit must be lodged in one of the three approved Scottish Tenancy Deposit Schemes — SafeDeposits Scotland, Letting Protection Service Scotland or mydeposits Scotland — within 30 working days of the tenancy starting. Your landlord must tell you in writing which scheme holds it. If they don't, you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal for up to three times the deposit back.

The Private Residential Tenancy (PRT) is the standard form of letting in Scotland for new tenancies since December 2017. It's open-ended — there's no fixed term and no break clause needed. You can leave at any time with 28 days' written notice. Your landlord can only end the tenancy using one of 18 specific legal grounds and must apply to the First-tier Tribunal if you don't leave voluntarily. Rent can only rise once in any 12-month period, with at least three months' notice.

It varies by landlord. Scottish letting law gives no automatic right to keep a pet, but landlords cannot charge an additional deposit or fee specifically for pets — the Tenant Fees ban applies. Filter to pet-friendly listings on Rent in Dundee or contact the landlord and ask. A short "pet CV" with vaccination records and a previous landlord reference noticeably improves your odds, especially for ground-floor flats and houses with gardens, which Dundee has plenty of.

Almost always: just the rent itself. You arrange gas, electricity and broadband. Water charges in Scotland are collected through the council tax bill — there's no separate water bill. Council tax itself is your responsibility (it isn't included in rent unless the listing explicitly says so), though single-adult households get 25% off and full-time students are exempt. Furnished properties include furniture; part-furnished usually means appliances only.
