Landlords have a duty of care to their tenants, which involves (among other things) keeping their properties in good condition. Tenants have obligations too, but in this article, we are going to look at the many responsibilities that landlords have with regard to property repairs. 

Here at Landlord Vision we’ve been going on about Open Banking for months as it’s something we’ve added to the software. It sounds fancy, but what does it mean? In this post we’re going to explain what Open Banking is, how it can benefit you and give you some insight into how it is used in Landlord Vision to make your life easier. 

Should pet owners be discriminated against in the private rental sector? Not according to The Deposit Protection Service. It says landlords should embrace pet owning tenants. They have issued new guidelines to make it easier for landlords to get their heads around tenants with pets. This advice is rather timely given the nation’s current love affair with pets.

As landlords, it is imperative to ensure we have adequate education on the different laws and rules that apply to landlords and tenants.

Responsible landlords like to make sure their rental properties are spotlessly clean before the next tenant moves in. It isn’t enough to expect a tenant to run over it with a vacuum cleaner and damp cloth. Unless you check the property has been cleaned to a professional standard, chances are, your tenant will do the bare minimum. By the time the next tenant complains, it’s too late to dock some money from their deposit.
