Scotland’s Rental Housing Crisis with Elaine Elder

Why are landlords in Scotland waiting up to a year to regain possession of their properties, and what impact is this having on the private rented sector?

In this episode of the Scottish Legal Insights Podcast, Elaine Elder, Partner at Aberdein Considine and a Legal 500 recommended dispute resolution lawyer, joins us to discuss the growing backlog in Scotland's housing tribunal system and its consequences for landlords, tenants and the wider housing market.

We explore why delays in landlord and tenant disputes are becoming increasingly common, the challenges faced by property owners seeking possession of their properties, and the impact of lengthy proceedings on rent arrears and housing supply.

Elaine also explains the legal process involved in housing and tenancy disputes, the pressures facing the tribunal system, and why some landlords are choosing to leave the private rented sector altogether. 

Listen for expert insights on landlord and tenant law, housing tribunals, rent arrears, dispute resolution and the future of Scotland's private rented sector.
