Ms Sturgeon has repeatedly called for a freeze on the energy price cap and wants an emergency four nations summit to be held on the"cost crisis".
Speaking at Holyrood as she unveiled her package of measures, she said:"The Scottish government does not have the power to stop your energy bills soaring, but we can and will take action to make sure that your rent does not rise.""Firstly, it will aim to give people security about the roof over their head this winter through a moratorium on evictions," she said.
"We are being reminded every day that where - and in whose hands - power lies really matters," she said.
NicolaSturgeon NicolaSturgeon set to destroy Private Rental sectors in Scotland & increase housing crisis scotlandlord warns ban on rent increases & eviction is driving Landlords out who can't afford to rent property to tenants who choose not to pay rent or commit anti-social behaviour!
Rail fares? I got a train from Glasgow central to saltcoats last week I used my travel card. It cost me £4.30. bloody disgraceful
Not really, look into it.
Scotland 1 - 0 England
All directed at Central Scotland again and not to the rural communities
Is that after they put the rail fares up aye? False headline yet again. Lazy journalism.
What about retired people who saved their money to buy a but to let property and the monthly money they receive pays for their bills?NicolaSturgeon
People who have bout buy to let properties and have a portion of the rent to pay towards the mortgage now are screwed and will be left with no money!! Did you even think about them NicolaSturgeon
So you are screwing an ordinary person who has saved money to purchase a property and has the rental income to pay the mortgage! The mortgage prices are going up! How are these people going to pay off their mortgages? Are you for real?
Are you MAD? What about property funds that it's income is generated off the rental incomes and millions of ordinary people's retirement and investment money are invested in these funds? WTF!!!
There was no train fare increase planned people couldn’t afford to use the train before the cost of living crisis
Good luck with imposing that, it just won't work will it, the landlords will need paying, nothing is free in this world so whats the point in forcing it, it'll just land people in more debt.
NicolaSturgeon Holy Moly the Labour/Torys are gonna hate this 😆
A rent freeze is good. A permanent rent cap would be better.
Maybe the royal family could “freeze” the tax dollars they receive
I that's going to help
Freezing rent 😂😂😂😂
NicolaSturgeon Fixing private landlords rents while having no clue about their costs. Over reach once again
NicolaSturgeon Social rent is only increased at the start of each financial year, so a freeze until the end of March is absolutely meaningless and nothing but a political soundbite
NicolaSturgeon And who will invest in housing again? Unlikely to come back and haunt NicolaSturgeon but I suspect her successor will have to deal with the resulting mess welldonenippy
Now if only the rest of the country could do the same but unfortunately we have clowns in power here in England.
What if you don’t pay rent and have no train services. ?
Rail prices already went up.
Ooh, look at all the landlords crying
What about private landlords! If my BTL mortgage goes up then I have to charge enough rent to cover it or I have to sell the property. If I make a loss or even stop making profit I'll just sell along with many other landlords. What happens then?
Get all bus fares down to 2 quid. Not the extortionate rural Scotland fees.
about bloody timeScotland did something. Not enough though.
What she going to do change the law. Is that not price fixing. If it was that easy then crack on with petrol, food, phone bills and I'll have cheaper netflix plz.
Energy bill are the issue and income Tax. Also National Insurance rise
Waiting for the incoming Sevco nonsense - It’s ALL about the Fleg I DONT care if she saves me money it’s all about the Red,White,&Blue 🙄
JaneyGodley Sounds great if they're also freezing interest rates otherwise a lot of landlords will go bust and their tenants will be homeless anyway. The lenders won't look after them.
Great start.
A real government, not like the one in England who look after donors first.
But not Energy prices?
I’m sure this will definitely not create any problems down the line
theSNP Presume Sturgeon will also Freeze mortgage payments for landlords plus all other costs?
Looby13693743 Well done ScotGov. Something had to be done. How about the Bank of England freeze interest rates too?
you mean subsidise them
Nice.. California needs to do the same to stop homeless..
NicolaSturgeon What help to working class people get who have mortgages , childcare etc to pay. Who are on breadline but do not qualify for any help. I cannot increase my hours at work as cannot afford the childcare ….
Trying to relevant again old Jimmy krankie 😂😂🤦
The FM show continues, just like the covid briefings, has to tweak a name, get an announcement out first. All done when new and old PM in Scotland. Couldn’t wait to see what assistance measures will come from new PM. Utter joke!
Rent freeze in Scotland… You can buy a house for £20 quid.
Watch rents go up as people leave the market 🙄
Amazing news! 🙌💙
Rent controls never ever work. This proves that Nicola Strapon is anti business and knows nothing of business. This will create a black hole in local authority and housing association budgets.
Small Scotland wey dem give Buhari to manage, see wetin he don cause. Smh
Printer machine going BRRRRR
NicolaSturgeon Here for the gammon
Freezes don’t work.
Lots of pictures of Sturgeon cradling babies and smiling with small children. 🤢 In the early 2000s the SNP had to undertake a media management exercise for Sturgeon called 'Operation Human Being' because in reality she's a empathy free, joyless harridan.
Sky news is now a branch of NBC!
This is so sad, these people want a good life.
