Next week marks a year since the end of the Scottish Government's rent cap policy.
In 2022, in response to rapidly rising inflation and cost-of-living pressures, ministers decided to temporarily freeze rent costs for private and social tenants, as well as student accommodation.
The emergency legislation ended last year, with some measures to protect tenants from sharp price increases coming in until April 1, 2025.
Now, The National is publishing an exclusive investigation detailing the impact that ending the policy has had on housing in Scotland.
We're putting the spotlight on cases of landlords pushing prices far above market rates, and the human impact for tenants affected.
Through exclusive interviews and insight, we're taking a close look at how the rent cap's end has contributed to Scotland's ongoing housing emergency.
Pick up a copy of The National or check our website on Monday to see the investigation from Political Reporter Abbi Garton-Crosbie in full.
