Produce Tenancy Agreements Fast with PlanetRent

Tenancy agreements are often not read or are too difficult to understand. At least, that’s what a recent report in Landlord Today suggests. When tenants have questions about their rights and responsibilities, they are turning to Google for answers rather than referring to their tenancy agreements.

Common Questions Tenants Are Asking Google

It’s no surprise that renters are looking online for quick answers. However, research from Boiler Plan shows that most of their queries are quite basic. The most searched questions by private renters in April included:

• Can landlords increase my rent? (3,200 searches)
• Can my landlord evict me? (1,880 searches)
• What are my responsibilities as a tenant? (1,600 searches)
• Can letting agents charge fees? (760 searches)
• Can my landlord keep my deposit? (550 searches)
• What are tenancy fees? (250 searches)
• Can you paint a rented house? (220 searches)
• Does the landlord have to fix my boiler? (130 searches)
• What repairs is the landlord responsible for? (110 searches)

Why Aren't Tenants Reading Their Agreements?

Our view is that tenants should be encouraged to read their tenancy agreements and clarify any concerns with their landlord or agent upfront. While some questions—like those related to repairs and redecorating—may arise later in the tenancy, fundamental aspects such as rent increases, eviction rules, and deposit handling should be understood from day one.

Keep Tenancy Agreements Short and Simple

Let’s be honest—if a tenancy agreement is 50 pages long, tenants are unlikely to read it. That’s why landlords should ensure their paperwork is concise and easy to understand. The key is to balance legal compliance with accessibility, so renters feel informed without being overwhelmed.
