An investigation by The National has revealed that even with a rent cap in place some landlords tried to break the rules.
One tried to double rent from £700 to £1400, before the regulator capped it at £784.
The SNP have now ditched the rent cap, allowing these massive hikes. #FMQs

At #FMQs today we called on the Scottish Government to back our Bill to end greyhound racing.
There are only 9 countries in the world that still allow commercial greyhound racing. In 2023 alone 109 greyhounds died trackside in the UK and 4,238 were injured.
Friendly countries do not tell lies about each other.
Leaders must stand up to the growth of disinformation and not allow it to become the norm in our politics. #FMQs
The Scottish Government's plan to scrap rent controls in April will give landlords free rein to hike rents.
At #FMQs today our co-leader Lorna Slater called on the First Minister to act. Unfortunately there was no indication in the response that he would.
Fergus Ewing and other pro-oil politicians in Parliament should remember that you can't claim that oil is "low carbon" by ignoring the fact that someone is going to burn it.
This year the SNP said they would accelerate climate action. But so far that hasn't happened. #FMQs
"Does the First Minister recognise that far more is needed to make public transport cheaper, cycling safer and reduce transport emissions to protect our planet?"
Ross Greer MSP at today's #FMQs
"Words fail me - what social and cultural ties does the FM really think will benefit from a relationship with such a man?"
At today's #FMQs @patrickharvie asked John Swinney about his comments on Donald Trump.
Free School Meals are a simple and effective way to tackle child poverty and ensure every child has the best chance at school.
The SNP must use additional funds in next year's budget to reinstate the promise to deliver them for all primary school pupils.
"The world's failure to address Israel's impunity, to protect civilians, or to prevent war crimes has made an escalation of violence in the Middle East inevitable." - @patrickharvie #FMQs

The science is clear that there can be no new oil and gas.
The International Energy Agency is clear that there can be no new oil and gas.

The Scottish Government must ban companies profiting from Israel's assault on Gaza or illegal settlements in Palestine from receiving public sector contracts and grants.
We raised this seven months ago and the then First Minister agreed. But no action has been taken. #FMQs
