“The rental market continues to go from strength to strength, with huge demand and multiple quality applicants for most properties, leading to strong prices. On the one hand, everything looks great but many forward-thinking landlords and letting agents also have an eye on the Scottish Government’s ‘New deal for Tenants’ which proposes more regulation and rent controls, likely to push landlords out of the market and further reduce supply at the exact time when the reverse is needed. MSPs need to give serious balanced thought to this proposed legislation, which if enacted will have the unintended consequence of reducing choice and pushing rental prices up further.”
