We noticed a recent article which highlights a problem in York that is typical of many University towns. Student numbers have increased but University-owned accommodation has been reduced. On top of this, councils are refusing to allow permission for houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) in some areas of the town.
Whilst this high demand for student accommodation is always good news for landlords, it’s important to make sure that you get the right tenants living in your properties. Ones that are going to take reasonable care whilst living there – and if they don’t, you can make sure that repairs to damage are covered from the deposit.
And as we’ve always said, the only way you can do that effectively is with quality video evidence!
