ASK545: Should I let my tenant skip the deposit? PLUS: Is it time to put the rent up?
The Property PodcastShow Notes
Should landlords sign up to a no-deposit scheme? And what's the fairest way to put the rent up when it's fallen well behind?
Your questions answered on this week's episode of Ask Rob & Rob.
(00:36) Tim's letting agent has sent him a leaflet promoting Reposit, a deposit alternative scheme. Should he consider using one? Rob D looks at who these schemes serve, and the question he'd ask before letting a tenant skip the deposit.
(03:11) Miss Moneypenny's tenants have been in for four years with no increase, and the property is taking heavy wear and tear. How should she approach a rise with the Renters' Rights Act in play? Rob B shares the method he uses after a long tenancy, and how to make the new figure stand up if it's challenged.
