Empowering Tenants: Know Where to Turn When Issues Arise

June 18, 2024

Navigating the rental market can be challenging, especially when problems arise and tenants are unsure where to seek help. At DepositPass, we are dedicated to empowering tenants with the knowledge and resources they need to handle such situations confidently.

The Need for Better Guidance

Recent surveys reveal that a significant number of tenants feel lost when it comes to resolving issues with their rental properties. A new representative survey of over 2,000 private renters conducted by the TDS Charitable Foundation found that just over half of all private renters would not know where to turn if a landlord or letting agent failed to address a problem.

Nearly 50% of tenants desire clearer information on how to raise a complaint, indicating a strong need for accessible guidance. Additionally, 69% of tenants expressed that they would use a dedicated website to resolve their housing issues.
