As a tenant I always get vetted by agents/landlords, which I have to pay for each time. Then I pay 6 weeks rent as a deposit - another safety valve for the landlord. My current landlords are great and fix things immediately and pretty much leave us alone, but I've had some bad experiences with landlords who don't do what you ask, are impossible to get hold of or always popping round, or are ridiculously unfair with what they call 'fair wear and tear' when it comes to repaying the deposit. I do understand all the vetting etc but is there anywhere tenants can check up on landlords? A website or something? And if I made one would I have to be really careful legally?
