An Edinburgh student has been forced to sleep on pals' sofas for over three months due to the housing shortage in the capital and sky rocketing rent costs.
Despite a rent freeze being put in place across Scotland the capital remains notoriously difficult and expensive to find a flat or room to rent partly due to rising fuel costs and a shortage of houses.
Imogen Irvine, 19, who is originally from Alva Clackmannanshire was left without a flat after her lease ended in May - despite trying desperately to secure new accommodation the teen was left sleeping between friends houses for months while enduring the gruelling search for a home.
