Living Rent historic victory!

After years of tireless organizing, their government has officially passed the Housing Bill, securing rent controls for tenants across Scotland. This landmark bill introduces caps on rent increases between tenancies, clamps down on disrepair, and strengthens joint tenancy rights.

All these new measures would not exist without the persistence of Living Rent members.

This is the power of ordinary people coming together, refusing to back down, and proving that organized tenants can win life changing reforms. While this bill represents a giant step forward, it is also just the beginning. The rent controls passed are the bare minimum of what tenants truly need, and the fight for stronger protections and genuinely affordable housing continues.

Across the world, unions have won change through solidarity and collective struggle. Living Rent’s victory shows once again that when we organize, we win.
