Landlord Law Blog Roundup from 6 October

This post is more than 11 years old

October 11, 2014 by Tessa Shepperson

Who, me?Just done a comment on a post on Property Tribes which illustrates why we need agents to belong to a Redress Scheme:

This agent paid out the deposit money too early, the tenant then failed to pay the last months rent and the landlord is now out of pocket.

If the agent fails to compensate the landlord then, if he is a member of a Redress Scheme, the landlord will have somewhere to complain.

If he is not, the agent could be looking at a fine of up to £5,000.

If you are an agent or property manager are YOU a member of a redress scheme?  If not – you had better join up quick.

But what happened on the blog?
