LANDLORDS are seeking legal advice to overturn the rent freeze and eviction ban introduced by the Scottish Government just a week after it was introduced.
MSPs passed the Cost of Living (Tenant Protection) (Scotland) Bill as emergency legislation, moving through Holyrood at an accelerated pace of just three days, on Thursday October 6.
The move will cap rent rises at 0% until March 31, with Scottish ministers allowed to extend the legislation for two six-month periods, as well as placing a ban on evictions.
