A rent hike of 6.5 per cent is being imposed by a social landlord in Dumfries and Galloway next month.
The management committee of Loreburn Housing Association – which has more than 2,500 homes across the region – said it has no option but to make the increase from April 3.
The landlord last month invited every tenant to take part in a rent consultation with two proposals on the table – an increase of either 6.5 per cent or seven per cent for the financial year 2023/24.
