On or after 6 September 2022, the landlord under a private residential tenancy may not increase the rent payable under the tenancy by more than the permitted rate.

For the purposes of this Chapter, the “permitted rate” is 0%.

The Scottish Ministers may by regulations substitute a different percentage for the one for the time being mentioned in subsection (2).

Any rent-increase notice given on or after 6 September 2022 during a period when the permitted rate is 0% is of no effect.

This section is subject to Chapter 2A.
