Lothian MSP Miles Briggs says the Scottish government have ‘rushed through’ rent controls this week that have seen the introduction of a rent freeze across Scotland.
The Conservative and Unionist MSP has highlighted how some local housing associations in Edinburgh and Lothians are concerned about the impact of the freeze.
Ahead of the emergency legislation this week, the Director of Prospect Community Housing had told the Scottish Conservatives that rent controls would have an impact on the provision of new homes.
