Garden Maintenance: How to Avoid Disputes at Your Lincolnshire Rental ????

Ensure everything stays rosy with your tenants by following these simple garden maintenance strategies.

But garden maintenance can be a thorny subject and consistently ranks among the top five causes of end-of-tenancy deposit disputes*.

So what triggers garden disagreements, and how can landlords avoid them?

1 The information gap

Propertymark’s research found that 75% of landlords believe garden upkeep falls within the remit of tenants.
However, about 50% don’t give tenants specific advice or information on their garden duties.

Instead of being proactive, they rely on the terms set out in the rental agreement.

2 Cutting corners during inspections

Many landlords fail to look at the garden during mid-term inspections - thus missing out on the opportunity to spot any issues until the end of the tenancy.

It’s always easier, cheaper and less stressful to address problems early on.
