Private sector landlords are being “discriminated” against as a result of an “unlawful” Scottish Government cap on their rent increases, Scotland’s highest civil court has heard.
Landlords across Scotland have mounted a legal challenge against the Government after a rent freeze was passed at Holyrood and implemented last year.
In April 2023, private sector landlords were once again able to increase rents, but only by a maximum of 3% without justification and by 6% with justification.
