The Scottish Housing Regulator has underlined the need for landlords to keep rents affordable for their tenants.

Speaking at a Tenant Information Service event on rent setting and affordability, the Regulator's Chief Executive, Michael Cameron said: "It's important that landlords demonstrate to their tenants that their rents will remain affordable and that they are having effective dialogue with their tenants on rent levels and increases.

"Landlords should be asking themselves whether they are doing everything possible to be efficient and drive costs from their business before passing costs on to tenants."
