Ministerial Visit

Our Bureau was delighted to receive a visit on Wednesday the 28th of February from the Scottish Government's Minister for Zero Carbon Buildings, Active Travel and Tenants' Rights, Patrick Harvie. 

During the visit, we were able to discuss our SafeDeposits Scotland funded Clackmannanshire Landlord & Tenant Advice Mediation & Support Service. 

As the Emergency Rent Cap and additional evictions protections conclude on the 1st of April, private tenants are encouraged to know their rights. During discussion with our team, Patrick Harvie stated “I would encourage anyone who is currently renting or about to enter the rental market to check the rights that exist to protect them from unfair practices.” More information can be found here: https://www.gov.scot/news/renters-reminded-of-rights-before-rent-cap-ends/

If you are a private tenant or landlord within Clackmannanshire and you would like to know your rights, support is available through our aforementioned project. To speak with our Private Sector Housing Adviser, please contact us via telephone (01259 219404) or email (bureau@clackscab.casonline.org.uk).
