“Tenants have already had to wait two years for this report to be published, during which time rent has continued to increase.'
Talks on tackling rising rents in Glasgow – previously branded a “sham” by a union – have led to 16 recommendations including a points-based system of rent controls.
Tenants’ union Living Rent, which took part in the commission but pulled out due to dissatisfaction, said some of the findings are “encouraging” but the commission’s work is “generally vague” and “not binding”. Led by the Tenants Information Service, the commission, which first met in September last year, has recommended training opportunities should be offered to landlords, more inspections to increase the quality of housing and a new network of partner organisations to identify properties falling below standard.
Commission members also decided the council should work with partners to ensure students are not “priced out” of education due to unaffordable housing options. “We will continue to work with our partners at a local and national level to do what we can to address these issues.”
