Scottish Housing Bill proposes long-term rent control measures
The Bill is set to create a duty on local authorities to carry out periodic assessments of the private rental market in their areas and make recommendations to the Scottish ministers about the designation of rent control areas, where they consider measures to control rent increases are necessary to protect the interests of tenants.
Rent controls may deter investment in Scotland’s private rented sector
The Scottish government has introduced a transitional rent control framework as a temporary measure to keep rental increases in the private rented sector at bay while the new Housing (Scotland) Bill that will impose permanent rent controls is still being finalised. A draft Housing bill is expected to be introduced in the Scottish Parliament by summer 2024 and come into force in 2025.
Legal challenge to Scotland’s rent cap rejected
The case concerns a judicial review of the Cost of Living (Tenant Protection) (Scotland) Act 2022, which was first introduced by the Scottish government in October last year to help residential tenants with the cost-of-living crisis.

However, the conversation around the required retrofit of these buildings has so far ignored the needs of flexible office assets. This fundamental change in the office market will be driven by the top of the ‘office food chain’: the lenders.
Rent cap and eviction ban extended for private tenancies in Scotland
Tenants’ rights minister Patrick Harvie announced that the government would bring forward regulations to extend the private rental provisions in the Cost of Living (Tenant Protection) (Scotland) Act 2022 for a further six months to 30 September 2023. The eviction ban and cap on rent increases were first introduced in October last year to help private tenants with the cost-of-living crisis.
