Solutions · Expat & relocation
They are moving countries, not booking a holiday.
Your tenant is arriving from abroad with a job start date, no local bank account, and a municipality that will want proof of address before they can do almost anything. The tenancy agreement is not paperwork to them. It is the document that makes the rest of their life possible.
What is different here
Not a variation on letting. A different job.
Demand arrives through agents
Relocation consultants send you three requirements at once, in an email, with dates that are approximate and a budget that is not. They are not browsing your website; they are comparing you with two other operators in a spreadsheet of their own.
The paperwork has a second job
A signed lease with a correct address is what a new arrival needs to register with the municipality. Wrong details are not an inconvenience. They are a week of somebody’s life.
They cannot pay you the normal way yet
No local account, sometimes no local phone number, in a time zone several hours away, and needing to commit to a flat they have only seen photographs of.
Where it breaks
The specific ways this goes wrong.
The agent’s email becomes the record
Three units, two date ranges and a budget, re-typed by hand into whatever system you use, or not re-typed at all and simply left in the inbox.
Signing across time zones takes a week
Print, sign, scan, email. A workflow with four steps and a scanner in it will not finish in one day when one party is asleep for eight hours of it.
The details on the document are wrong
A misspelled name or a flat number missing its letter, discovered at the municipality counter rather than by you.
What answers it
And where to check that we mean it.
Enquiries arrive as rows, from your website or from you
The agent’s request lands as something staff act on and convert in one click, with the dates and the guest already attached. Same row whether it came through the API or somebody typed it in.
See howSigning takes minutes, from anywhere
A link, a browser, a signature. No printer, no scanner, no app, and it works on the phone they read the email on at six in the morning their time.
See howThe details come from the record
Names, address and dates are filled from the reservation rather than typed into a template, so the document says what the system says.
See howWhere we are the wrong answer
Worth knowing before the call, not after.
We are not an immigration or relocation service and the software gives no legal advice. Whether your agreement satisfies a particular municipality is a question for you and your lawyer. What we do is make sure the document says what your record says.
Bring your actual portfolio
Thirty minutes against your own units and one of your own agreements. If The Quarters is not right for what you run, that’s a thing we’d rather establish now.
