A new trial has been fixed for a man who denies falsely obtaining more than £2,000 as a bogus landlord.
Edward Laing, of Back Dykes, Auchtermuchty, denies telling six people that he was Gary Brogan and that he was entitled to advertise and rent out a property on St Vincent Street, Broughty Ferry, and was in a position to provide the occupancy rights in exchange for the payment of money.
Between May 16 and June 23 last year Laing, 36, allegedly induced four people to transfer £450 to him, which they believed was a deposit for the property.
Laing also denies inducing a woman to pay £950 made up of a deposit and the first month’s rent.
A new trial was fixed for February 12.
