Living rents are necessary for social justice. They should reflect the value of the property. They should be capped by a rent affordability index. Indefinite tenancies should be the norm. Hardship should be a defence in relation to evictions. Initial rents should be set against a points system to reflect the value of the property. Rent increases should be capped at a rent affordability index. Create a Scottish Living Rent Commission to oversee these principles.
