Hi, I'm Rob, and I'm Rob, and this is Ask Rob and Rob.

Welcome to Ask Rob and Rob, thank you for joining us for two more listener questions

and two more answers.

Those questions coming up in just a sec, but it's so easy Rob to send your question away.

It certainly is, we've collected it in all one lovely place for you.

If you go to propertyhub.net for slash ask, you can find our number, you can leave a message

directly there, and you can also leave questions for our weekly column in the Sunday Times.

What a lovely collection, and you can do it all at propertyhub.net for slash ask.

So if you have a question, make sure you get it in there.

I can't let's have a listen to our first question from Jeremy.

I'm Rob and Rob, it's Jeremy from Hertfordshire here.

I've got a property where my tenants have given notice, and the letting agent has suggested

that I offer a no deposit scheme, rather than just requiring a deposit to be taken at

the start of the next tenancy.

I'd never heard of no deposit schemes up until now, and I found a few articles about

the pros and cons from a tenant's perspective, but I haven't really found much from a landlord's

perspective, and I was wondering if you could help me by providing some information about

what the pros and cons are for a landlord in going down this route.

Jeremy, thank you for the question.

These schemes are relatively new, so it's not like there's lots of information and lots

of stories out there that you can go and look at to make a decision.

I personally never used one, and I prefer not to, and there's a couple of reasons for that.
