Tenant and landlord relationships don't need to end in a dispute
Figures from the TDS annual report for 2014/15 show that across the UK they are protecting 1.3 million tenant's deposits. That represents a fairly large portion of the Private Rented Sector, which currently has an estimated five million households.
The latest figures from the Tenancy Deposit Scheme’s annual report for 2014/15 show that across the UK they are protecting 1.3 million tenant’s deposits. That represents a fairly large portion of the Private Rented Sector, which currently has an estimated five million households.
The reason you, as a landlord, should know about this report is that it gives a huge amount of detail on the number of deposit disputes the TDS settles – and the key causes of the disputes. If you know what these are, it gives you a far better chance of avoiding any problems at the end of your tenancies.
Of course, if you’re letting via a Belvoir agent and they’re managing the property for you, you won’t need to worry, as they’ll handle any disputes on your behalf.
