As a business, we’re always keen to promote the benefits of a high quality video inventory to landlords. But we were delighted to hear last week about the benefits it has to tenants too – or rather their parents!
At a business networking meeting last week, one of the members commented that in five years of her children living in rented student accommodation whilst at University, she had never received a full – or even significant – deposit back from any landlord (no matter how well the house had been looked after). However this year her daughter had lived in a house where a video inventory had been carried out – and within two weeks of the tenancy agreement finishing the deposit had been returned in full.
I wonder if there is a market out there for housemates to get their own video inventory done before they move in if the landlord hasn’t? What do you think?
