Katy recently met students at Glasgow University to hear about their housing issues, particularly the difficulty many students have had in getting their deposit back at the end of a lease.  Katy is campaigning to introduce a National Tenancy Deposit Scheme, in which the deposit is held by a third party untl the lease ends.  A similar scheme works well in England and it could help hundreds of tenants in Glasgow North to avoid disputes with landlords when they move flats.

Lib Dem MSP Mike Pringle has also raised a motion in the Scottish Parliament calling for action on this issue.
