Rent Rises To Be Capped And Eviction Ban To remain
Rent rises are to be capped at 3% and evictions will remain banned under Scottish government plans.
Tenants' rights minister Patrick Harvie announced the move - which will be subject to parliamentary approval - pledging to amend an emergency bill.
The bill was passed last year to tackle the cost-of-living crisis with most rents frozen until the end of March.
Private landlords will now be allowed to raise rents by a maximum of 3% but can apply to increase this to 6%.
Appeals can be made to Rent Service Scotland however landlords must have a valid reason.
Eviction enforcement will also continue to be suspended, except in certain circumstances.
The rent cap for student accommodation will also be suspended and unlawful evictions will still lead to damages equivalent to 36 months' worth of rent.
The Scottish government will be able to seek a further six-month extension beyond the 30 September expiry of the Cost of Living (Tenant Protection) Act.
