More disputes are raised by tenants than by landlords, often due to misunderstandings in rental agreements and expectations, especially regarding property cleaning
Despite previous issues, the number of disputes over deposits has decreased, but there are still many tenancies that end in disagreements.
Cleaning, property damage, and redecorating are among the top causes of disputes, with rent arrears and gardening also playing a role.
Landlords often fail to clearly communicate how the property should be left, contributing to confusion and disputes when tenants move out.
Inadequate documentation of the property's condition at the start of the tenancy leads to problems, as there is no reliable evidence to refer back to.
PlanetRent’s inventory feature simplifies documenting property condition, reducing disputes by ensuring clear communication and providing easy access to tenancy records.
