You have to be very careful when suggesting rent controls. From previous posts many landlords are in the same situation as me, and that is we have good tenants and as a result we do not increase our rents to...

Surely the anti everything other than landlord comment would be; a third of tenants living in poverty after food, gas, electricity, petrol, mobile phone, sky tv etc costs

Being a landlord is a business like any other, and costs increase as for all businesses. When will the Scottish government apply parity and impose the exact same restrictions on other businesses- let’s see them impose a price freeze for...
