The Scottish Parliament will decide whether emergency Covid powers should be made permanent.
The Scottish Association of Landlords, the National Farmers' Union of Scotland, the National Trust for Scotland and Scottish Land & Estates claim the proposals could backfire.
John Blackwood, chief executive of the Scottish Association of Landlords, said: "We are appealing to our parliamentarians to think again. "There is a very real danger that if this goes ahead landlords will lose confidence and simply sell homes at a time when they are in great need."Sarah Jane Laing, chief executive of Scottish Land & Estates, said: "Whether you are a landlord with a single buy to let flat or someone with multiple properties, the prospect of not being able to regain possession of the home you own scares landlords, driving them from the sector and reducing availability of homes for tenants.
A spokesperson said: "Over the last 20 years, there have been a range of necessary changes to the private rented sector aimed at improving quality and accountability.
