Glasgow City Council Votes to Trial 'Rent Pressure Zone'.

Yesterday Glasgow City Council voted in favour of a feasibility study to be commissioned, looking into a possible 'Rent Pressure Zone'. This vote has come after the hugely successful Glasgow branch launch where members voted overwhelmingly to make this a central campaign.

A Rent Pressure Zone designed to cap any future increase in rent in a local authority area will become available as part of the new Private Tenancy Bill due to come in to place at the end of the year. Living Rent were an integral part of the campaign to introduce this bill and the added security it provides. Now we are leading the way in ensuring it is utilised to its fullest potential.
