TENANTS in an Edinburgh residential block have been hit with an almost 20% rent increase, with a tenant campaign group calling the move “appalling”.
Residents of Dockside, a build-to-rent 373 unit block of flats near Ocean Terminal in Leith, were made aware of the increase in August of this year. The build-to-rent block, which opened in 2024, advertises studios, one-bed, two-bed, and three-bed apartments, ranging from £1525 per month to £2200 per month for residents paying full-price rent.
