A tenants’ union has walked away from “sham” talks on tackling rising rents in Glasgow due to concerns over a lack of action.
Glasgow City Council set up a tenant-led commission to investigate the private rented sector and make recommendations to improve conditions after declaring a ‘rents crisis’ in late 2020.
Meetings began in September last year but Living Rent, which represents tenants, said the process has been too slow and branded the commission as a “sham” due to its lack of statutory powers.
