'I don’t want anyone else to go through what I’ve been going through'
Xander Wickham believes universities in Edinburgh should be warning prospective students about the problems renting in the city
It allows landlords to increase rents between tenancies and, partly because of this, new rent averages have surpassed £1000 a month for the first time in Scotland – a 12.4% increase from last year. “The paintwork in the bathroom was peeling off and the fan was covered in fungus,” said Xander. “It was clearly a two-bedroom flat that had been made into three bedrooms and was in poor condition, but when I looked at it, the price was £466 and as I am a student I decided to move in.”
He managed to find another flat last week but is speaking out because he doesn’t want others to be caught out by the loophole. “There are very good universities here but they should tell students that it’s really hard to get a flat and they’re probably not going to be living in a nice place after they’ve been in student halls,” he said.
The rent freeze in the private rented sector was renewed in January 2023 to extend to September 2023, with the rent cap increased from 0% to 3%. The Government halted the freeze for the social rented sector saying that social housing providers had agreed to keep rent increases to an average of 6.1%. The eviction ban was extended until September 2023.
