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.

    Wages are low and rent very high. Also the quality of Council accommodation is low.

    I live in a flat with no gas or insulation, only Victorian electric heaters and boiler for the water.

    Freezing cold and got sick for the 3rd time this winter already.

    It would be very depressing if Edinburg becomes a small San Francisco
