It’s highly probable that anyone who has ever rented a property will know about deposits, and for landlords across the nation, taking a deposit from a tenant is an important part of securing your investment and protecting your property against damage. Ideally, your tenant will leave the property in immaculate condition when they move out. However, the reality can sometimes look different. Some tenants won’t restore your property to its original form when they hand the keys back – be it damaged sofas, miscellaneous items left in kitchen cupboards, or even broken windows. When this is the case, landlords are left with no other choice but to deduct money from the tenant’s deposit. Some tenants will be understanding and have no complaints about this; however, others will not let their money go without a fight – leading to deposit disputes and deductions.
