Scottish Parliament Housing Panels

We are inviting tenants and landlords in the private rented sector to apply take part in two separate lived experience housing panels. The panels will work to share ideas and experiences, and make recommendations to Members of the Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee who will scrutinise proposals that the Scottish Government is making to change the laws relating to housing.
 
We would be very grateful if you could widely share the information to people who may be interested.
 
Further information is attached:

• Scottish Parliament Housing Tenant Information
• Scottish Parliament Housing Landlord Information

The Committee want to hear from different people in different circumstances living in different parts of the country. To inform the selection criteria we have looked at research and data on the characteristics of private renters and landlords in Scotland. Parliament staff will recruit the panels from these responses using selection criteria.
 
For those who would like to register to take part they can complete the survey by clicking on the link here.
