Rent Control Zones for Edinburgh

We are asking Edinburgh City Council to Implement a Rent Pressure Zone across the city to stop sky-high rents driving people into poverty.

 

Renters in Edinburgh are struggling. Year in, year out rents go up far faster than wages, and it is reaching a breaking point. Edinburgh City Council has the power to designate areas as so-called ‘rent pressure zones’ and bring in rent controls, to stop landlords ripping tenants off for poor-quality housing. It’s time for them to use these powers.

    We need housing for people who want to live in Edinburgh and which is affordable. Too many are given over for short term rents for tourists with landlords making money at the expense of those who want to live here.
