Tenants’ Rights and Rent Control

1.5 hour verifiable CPD

Join us in February to take stock of the latest proposals to change the law surrounding private residential tenancies in Scotland. This webinar is for all legal professionals working in residential property.

In the ongoing housing crisis, fewer people can afford to own their own property. Additionally, the cost of rent is rising, prompting calls for rent control. This webinar will look at the law protecting those in private residential tenancies and consider whether further protections are needed to strengthen the rights of tenants in Scotland. Furthermore, we will consider how rent control would function in practice, and the impact that this could have on your clients.

Learning outcomes

• Understand the current legal protections benefiting tenants in Scotland, and how these protections could change with incoming legislation
• Gain perspective on the measures proposed in England and Wales, and how this might impact the level of protection awarded to renters across the United Kingdom
• Consider the best practice for landlords in the event that the proposed legislation is successful
