Tenants' Trust in Landlords and Agents
Tenants tend to trust landlords more than agents, as Victorian landlords are seen as more relaxed and flexible, leading to smoother tenant relationships.
A study by the Consumer Policy Research Centre (CPRC) found that only 16% of Victorian renters had high confidence in the rental market, with tenants facing more challenges when dealing with agents than landlords.
- The average confidence score was 70.
- Renters who scored lower were more likely to experience higher rents and financial difficulties.
- 83% of renters who dealt directly with their landlord reported a positive relationship, compared to 66% of those who dealt with an agent.
According to the CPRC’s inaugural Renter Confidence Index (RCI), only 16 per cent of Victorians recorded a confidence score over 90.
Tenants who dealt directly with landlords had a more positive experience than those who dealt with agents.
Author's summary: Tenants trust landlords more than agents due to their flexibility.
