Private sector landlords say they are being "discriminated" against as a result of an "unlawful" Scottish Government cap on their rent increases.
Landlords across the country have mounted a legal challenge against the Government at Scotland's highest civil court. It comes after a rent freeze was passed at Holyrood and implemented last year.
Private sector landlords were once again able to increase rents in April 2023 - but only by a maximum of 3% without justification and by 6% with justification. Lord Neil Davidson KC represented several respondents at a hearing at the Court of Session in Edinburgh, including the Scottish Association of Landlords, Scottish Lands and Estates, and the Church of Scotland.
