'Groundbreaking' rent freeze will come into force in Scotland as legislation passes

A RENT Freeze will be introduced in Scotland after emergency legislation was passed in Holyrood.

The Scottish Government measures will set a maximum permitted rate increase on rents for private tenancies, social housing and Purpose Build Student Accommodation (PBSA).

The cap rate will be set at 0%, meaning landlords cannot raise rents above this. A six-month moratorium on evictions will also be put in place.
