  "text": "If you carry out letting agency work in Scotland you are required by law to comply with the Letting Agent Code of Practice and to join the Register of Letting Agents. From 1 October 2018, it is illegal to carry out letting agency work unless you are registered.\nThe Register of Letting Agents is a list set up and run by the Scottish Ministers that makes sure every letting agent is suitable to do the job and has met minimum training requirements covering essential aspects of letting agency work.\nThe Scottish Ministers have the power to require information and documents from unregistered persons who appear to be letting agents. It has come to their attention that you appear to be carrying out letting agent work but are not currently registered to undertake this type of work. In order to help us establish whether you must register as a letting agent, you must send us the information specified, and by the date set out, in Annex A.",
