Wear and Tear Allowance

The Wear and Tear Allowance used to be an allowance which allowed landlords who rented out a furnished property to claim 10% of the net rent every year.

This allowance has been replaced in April 2016 with something called the Replacement of Domestic Items Relief – which means that now landlords have to claim the cost of replacing items individually.
