Housing organisations have today made an 11th hour appeal to Scottish parliamentarians to step back from making new laws that threaten to devastate the number of homes for rent.
The Scottish Parliament is to debate the final stage of the Coronavirus (Recovery and Reform) Bill on 28 June, which includes plans to give tribunals the final say on tenant evictions.
However, organisations which represent landlords renting thousands of homes in urban and rural areas believe the measure will shatter confidence in the rental sector and lead to large numbers of homes being withdrawn from the market.
