Glasgow single mum will be 'homeless' days before Christmas after 'callous' £200 rent hike

A Glasgow single mum and her child could be homeless days before Christmas after her 'callous' landlord hiked her monthly rent up by £200.

'Terrified' Jemma Maclaren has been handed an 'eviction notice' for the home she shares with her 12-year-old daughter, Skye. The pair have lived in their Partick pad for nine years but have to be out by December 17, according to landlord, Kelvin Property.

It comes after mum-of-one Jemma challenged a rent hike imposed by the property chiefs - from £695 to £895 per month. That equates to a 29 per cent increase, according to the Daily Record.
