Indeed, the background information to PE1998 states that “Most recently the Scottish Parliament and people were denied the right to know whether Charles III had been exempted from emergency law to protect tenants from rent rises and evictions during the cost of living crisis.” However, I would like to take this opportunity to make clear that the Cost of Living (Tenant Protection) (Scotland) Act 2022 applies to the Royal Household and their property and to the Crown Estate and the Scottish Crown Estate and its property in the same way as to any other private landlord.
