With the cost of living crisis continuing to worsen for households across Scotland, buying property is out of reach for many — particularly in Glasgow.
As a result, those looking to move into a new home need to rent it rather than buy it.
While this is cheaper, there are still many properties to rent that will break the bank unless you have deep pockets.

2. Kenmure Street, Pollokshields
Price: £5,500 per month
Number of bedrooms: 5
Number of bathrooms: 2
With less bedrooms than the previous properties on this roundup, and a higher price tag, this Pollokshields flat promises a "5 star experience" to justify the cost. The location is a big plus with this property, being very close to the city centre. It also offers "2000 spring mattresses and crisp white Egyptian cotton bedlinen", as well as a 55" smart TV and a 10 seater dining table.
What the listing says: "This is a stunning, newly refurbished apartment, decorated to the highest standards, offering quality furnishings and Egyptian Cotton bedlinens.

1. Park Circus
Price: £6,000 per month
Number of bedrooms: 3
Number of bathrooms: 4
Here is the most expensive property to rent in Glasgow. Incidentally, it has the fewest bedrooms out of all of the flats on this list. Charging £6,000 per month for a three-bed flat is a big ask, and while it features a "vast dining space", a "magnificent" master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, and a private garden (with artificial grass), we're not sure that's enough to justify the price. If you have the money to spend, and crave that feeling of luxury, this could be perfect for you though.
What the listing says: "Tay Letting are delighted to bring this superb three bedroom lower duplex property to the market within this redeveloped townhouse, situated on one of Glasgows finest addresses, AVAILABLE NOW, FURNISHED. The apartment comprises of a stunning living room overlooking the residents gardens. At the focal point of the living room, there is a beautiful marble fireplace and it also features fully restored plaster cornices, providing a beautiful reminder of the building's history."
