A trade union representing tenants rights has called on the Scottish Government to support rent controls in order to lower housing costs and reduce payments to landlords.

Tenants in Scotland’s capital have been irate about extortionate rents for some time and last year both SNP and Green ministers started a consultation to bring about a “new deal” for renters.
