36.Subsection (1) confers a power on the Scottish Ministers to, by regulations, provide that landlords of certain properties let under a PRT of a specified property in a rent control area may increase the rent payable under the tenancy by more than the “permitted rate”, or may do so but only with permission (from, say, a rent officer or the Tribunal). The “permitted rate” has the meaning given by section 43D of the 2016 Act (see Notes below on section 23 of the 2025 Act, in as far as it inserts section 43D into the 2016 Act).
37.The Scottish Ministers may specify the properties (other than an exempt property) to which these regulations apply by reference to a description of the landlord, tenant or property (see subsection (2)).
38.Regulations may not be made under this section unless consultation has been carried out with persons representative of landlords and tenants (see subsection (6)) and a draft of the regulations has been laid before, and approved by, the Scottish Parliament (see section 82(3)).
