Over the last few years, landlords and
letting agents have seen a sharp increase in the number of disputes since the
introduction of the Tenant Deposit Scheme. This has changed in nature from a
situation where agreement just couldn’t be reached, to a situation where people
are just trying their luck because they have realised that the arbitration
process is free.
This works both ways. Some unscrupulous
landlords will try to cover fair wear and tear by getting some extra money from
the tenant’s deposit, while many tenants will wriggle in order to try and recover
the whole of their deposit even though they know that they are in the wrong.
This is why it is more essential than ever
to ensure that inventory, check-in, and check-out reports on a property are of
sufficient standard that people will think twice about it. One of the best ways
to do this is to use one of the apps that landlords and letting agents can
download for free to a mobile or tablet. These apps can vary quite
considerably, but the aim is the same: to help letting agents and landlords
prepare a free condition report which is as accurate as it can be.
