Rent control remains a hot topic in Scotland, with recent legislation shaping the rental
landscape
What Landlords Need to Know
Rent Caps: Temporary rent caps have been introduced to protect tenants from sharp
increases. This helps stabilise rental costs but may discourage investment in rental
properties.
Eviction Rules: Stricter regulations mean landlords must follow clear procedures for
ending tenancies. This provides greater security for tenants but adds administrative
challenges for landlords.
Impact on Investment: Some landlords may find profitability squeezed, but demand
for rental properties remains strong, particularly in urban centres.
For tenants, these measures provide stability, while landlords must stay informed and adapt to
changing regulations to remain compliant.
