Commenting on an announcement that the Scottish Government is considering new ways of resolving disputes between landlords and tenants over deposits, Liberal Democrat MSP for Edinburgh South Mike Pringle said:
"It's about time that the Scottish Government took action to protect tenants from rogue landlords.
"It's not right that households already struggling in the current financial crisis can be held to ransom by unscrupulous landlords who don't return their deposits.
"Tenants in England already have their deposits protected by law under the self-funding Deposit Protection Service. A similar scheme should be introduced in Scotland."
Ends.
