A single mum and her child could be made homeless just days before Christmas after being slapped with a £200 per month rent increase. Jemma Maclaren, 43, was told to move out of her Glasgow home of nine years by December 17, after challenging the rent hike imposed by landlord Kelvin Property.
The mum-of-one has been left "terrified" after learning her digs will be increasing from £695 to £895 per month - a surge of 29 per cent. It comes as thousands of Scots across the country continue to feel the squeeze of the cost of living crisis.
Jemma is desperate not to let the life-changing situation affect her 12-year-old daughter, who will have to move home and school. And she admitted that "Christmas is cancelled" for her family this year.
