Student deposit repayments made simple

Do you rent to students?

We know it's getting close to that time of year when students will be ending their studies and their tenancies, which means a busy period ahead for you.

To help you keep your administration to a minimum, we've designed a helpful infographic showing the tools we provide to help reduce your workload, coupled with some tips for best practice around checkouts.

Don't let to students? Our time-saving tools may still be useful if you have lots of deposits to administrate at the same time, so do check it out. You may find something that makes your workload easier!

Should you fret after student roulette?

Multiple occupancy tenancies can be difficult to manage when individual tenants move in and out. Test yourself as 'Emma' guides you through one such case in our latest "Be the adjudicator".

The Deregulation Act 2015 and how it might affect you

The recent Deregulation Act 2015 has been introduced to clear up some issues raised around the case of Superstrike vs Rodrigues in June 2013, and how it affects deposits taken before 6 April 2007.

Our Managing Director, Julian Foster, said: "These changes provide much needed clarity over the protection of older deposits and the management of deposits taken before the legislation came into force".
