A “coalition of landlords” is seeking legal advice over a Scottish Government move that has frozen rents and banned evictions until at least April next year.
MSPs voted to back the Cost of Living (Tenant Protection) Bill last week, after an emergency procedure meant it was passed in just three days.
The legislation will cap rent rises at 0% until 31 March, with Scottish ministers allowed to extend the legislation for two six-month periods, as well as placing a ban on evictions.
