THE emergency rent freeze legislation will be extended as it remains "necessary and proportionate" for private tenants, a minister has confirmed.
Tenants’ rights minister Patrick Harvie delivered a statement in Holyrood on Thursday confirming he will recommend that MSPs approve an extension to the freeze on private rent rises.
The current rent cap expires on March 31 but Scottish ministers can seek parliamentary approval to extend the legislation for two six-month periods if necessary.
