To ask the Scottish Government whether it will accelerate plans to amend the rent adjudication framework to remove the ability of the rent officer or tribunal to determine a rent that is higher than that requested by the landlord, in light of the ending of the temporary restrictions on rent increases from April 2025. The Housing (Scotland) Bill includes provisions to remove the ability of the rent officer or tribunal to determine a rent that is higher than that requested by the landlord.Ministers have no plans to seek to accelerate the current timescales of the bill, however, we will seek to commence these provisions as soon as possible after royal assent.
