How PlanetRent takes the pain out of rental deposits

How PlanetRent removes pain of rental deposits

Want to offer deposit-free renting to your tenants? PlanetRent can help. Are you charging the right deposit? With the Tenant Fees Act now in place for all tenancies, security deposits have been capped. This means landlords can only charge the equivalent of five-weeks' rent for assured-shorthold tenancies with an annual rent of up to £50,000, or six-weeks' rent for tenancies with an annual rent of £50,000 or more. To avoid any mistakes, why not go 'deposit free'? Our new cloud-based lettings platform PlentRent is connected to Reposit, whose FCA-regulated product provides up to eight weeks rent/damages cover for the cost of one week's rent. This cost also includes referencing.

By using PlanetRent to manage your lettings, you can offer tenants the choice of a Reposit or a traditional deposit if they prefer. Another key feature - and one which landlords really do find appealing, is that PlanetRent ensures the deposit repayment process is non-adversarial. Both landlords and tenants can see proposed deductions and supporting invoices on their portals and each can accept or dispute deductions line by line to narrow down any issues arising.

PlanetRent also automatically sends out a How to get your deposit back guide to renters, so they know exactly what they have to do and when. PlanetRent really does make renting easier and more efficient for you and your tenants. There's no subscription and you can simply pay-as-you-go. so why not check out PlanetRent and take the pain out of rental deposits today. www.planetrent.co.uk Why not READ our Property Blog too: www.ringleypropertyblog.co.uk

The government gives the thumbs up to renters' pets
Should landlords be more pet-friendly? The Government certainly seems to think so. It’s no secret that we Brits love our pets, with an estimated 44% of us sharing our homes with at least one animal. But landlords aren’t so keen. Pets can be dirty and destructive and regardless of withholding deposit payments to cover the cost of the clean-up at the end of the tenancy, for many buy-to-let landlords, the hassle just isn’t worth it.For renters, t...
