  • only hand the deposit back after everything is accounted for

    How easy would it be to get that info? Does a landlord have the legal right to get council tax and bills status of their tenants?

  • The tenants have to give you proof that the accounts are closed before they get their deposit back.

    They could try complaining about this but it’s a pretty reasonable precondition.

    I suppose the problem becomes what happens if an agency handle that and make a pigs ear of it...I’d want that under my control for good reason.

  • Thanks for the tip, I'll remember to do that.

    We aren't bothering with agency, just did it with Openrent so I'll have all the control in the world.
