That the Parliament celebrates the first anniversary of the Dundee branch of Living Rent and notes that members mark this milestone at their Annual General Meeting on 2 June 2026; understands that Living Rent is a tenants' and community union that seeks to equip members with the skills, knowledge and collective power to challenge unfair treatment and poor housing conditions; recognises the efforts of Living Rent organisers and members in campaigning for stronger tenant protections and improvements to the Housing (Scotland) Act 2025; acknowledges what it sees as the achievements of Living Rent branches across Scotland, including securing investment in local authority housing, challenging eviction notices, obtaining rent rebates and housing repairs, and supporting tenants to exercise their rights; recognises the branch's engagement with the wider community through events such as Mouldfest and its collaboration with other organisations working to influence housing policy; commends all those involved in establishing and developing the Dundee branch during its first year, and wishes the branch and its members every success in their future work to support tenants and communities across Dundee.
