Rent Control Zones for Edinburgh

2,727Signatures

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.

Rent costs were the reason we had to leave Edinburgh when we had our daughter. We hope to return some day (when we can afford it).

Hope this starts and is proven to work in Edinburgh then spreads to all Scottish cities, towns and villages
