PlanetRent. Encouraging landlords and tenants to get on better

Introduction: Why You Need PlanetRent

If your tenants are calling you for minor repairs like changing a lightbulb, it’s time to use PlanetRent! Research from Glide shows that over one in five renters expect landlords to fix their Wi-Fi, and more than one in three think landlords should change their lightbulbs. Clearly, many tenants have unrealistic expectations, which can lead to unnecessary hassles for landlords.

Common Tenant Expectations

A study of 1,000 tenants revealed surprising findings about what renters expect from their landlords:

  • 14% believe landlords should resolve disputes over splitting bills with flatmates.
  • 23% expect landlords to sort out parking disagreements.
    While landlords have legal responsibilities, the line between tenant and landlord duties isn’t always clear—until now.

How PlanetRent Simplifies Responsibilities

PlanetRent brings transparency to the entire tenant journey. By using our app, both landlords and tenants know exactly where they stand, reducing confusion and making property management more efficient.

What PlanetRent Does for Landlords

  • Provides a structured process outlining landlord responsibilities.
  • Displays service level agreements so tenants know repair timelines.
  • Automates delivery of essential documents like the How to Rent guide and deposit leaflet, ensuring compliance and avoiding fines.

What PlanetRent Does for Tenants

  • Notifies the council about new tenants for correct council tax billing.
  • Clearly defines tenant responsibilities for cleaning and repairs.
  • Ensures a smooth rental experience by setting clear expectations.

Why Choose PlanetRent?

PlanetRent automates lettings, simplifying the tenant journey while keeping landlords compliant. It’s quick, easy, and—best of all—free! Download the app today and make property management hassle-free.
