Edinburgh Boosts Rental Enforcement

Edinburgh Council is set to boost its fight against rogue landlords with a £350,000 annual funding boost, hiring six new enforcement officers focused on the private rental sector—bringing total dedicated staff to twelve. These officers will tackle landlord registration checks, mediate tenant disputes, and refer serious cases to the Housing Tribunal, addressing long-standing concerns from councillors and tenant groups like Living Rent. Approval is pending, but if granted, this move could dramatically improve fairness and safety for renters across the city. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
