Landlords believe deposit schemes are tipped in favour of tenants

Landlords believe deposit schemes are designed to favour tenants, according to a new survey released today by digital inventory platform, Imfuna.

Just over half (54 percent) said that they thought current schemes favoured tenants, and 35 percent claimed that neither party benefitted from the schemes.

Letting agents also largely mirrored that sentiment. 20 per cent said that the schemes, in their current format at least, favoured landlords and 52 percent said the balance has been tipped in favour of tenants. A further 22 percent felt that the schemes didn’t benefit either landlord or tenant.
