There is a 'moral duty' to take action on rent prices, Nicola Sturgeon says

Nicola Sturgeon announced a rent freeze to tackle the cost-of-living crisis

NICOLA Sturgeon has said her government will seek to respond to concerns from landlords over emergency legislation on rent – but added there is a “moral duty” to help those struggling with bills.

Landlords have expressed frustration over the First Minister's promise to freeze rents as part of measures to deal with the “humanitarian emergency” caused by the cost-of-living crisis.
