Cost of Living (Tenant Protection) (Scotland) Bill: children's rights and wellbeing impact assessment

3. Will there be different impacts on different groups of children and young people?

The policy of introducing a temporary rent freeze, a temporary moratorium on evictions, increased penalties for unlawful evictions and additional powers to temporarily reform rent adjudication will directly and indirectly support children and young people in the social and private rented sectors, including students and those residing in college and university halls of residence and Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA).

The policy will have both direct impact on some young people, for example those named on tenancies and accommodation contracts, and indirectly on those children and young people living in rented accommodation.

We have not identified any competing interests between the different groups of children and young people.
