Solutions · Student housing
Your entire year happens in two weeks.
Furnished student lets are a seasonal business pretending to be a rental one. Ninety per cent of the turnover lands in a fortnight, every unit changes hands at once, and the software you use for the other fifty weeks has to survive September.
What is different here
Not a variation on letting. A different job.
Everything moves on the same weekend
Not a rolling schedule of handovers. One weekend where every flat empties, gets cleaned and refills. The constraint is not software, it is how many cleaners exist.
The tenancies are near-identical
Same dates, same rent, same clauses, hundreds of times. Anything that takes four minutes per tenancy takes a week across the intake.
Guarantors and third-party payers are normal
A parent or an institution signs or pays, and the person living there may not be on the payment at all.
Where it breaks
The specific ways this goes wrong.
The intake outruns the process
A workflow that is fine at three tenancies a month is not fine at two hundred in a fortnight, and the failure is not dramatic. It is a week of evenings.
The turnover weekend has no plan that survives contact
Who is cleaning what, in which order, with which keys. Built in a spreadsheet on the Thursday and out of date by Saturday lunchtime.
Nobody knows who has actually signed
Two hundred documents in various states across an inbox, a week before people arrive.
What answers it
And where to check that we mean it.
One template, hundreds of tenancies
Identical agreements are exactly what a template is for. Each is drafted from its own reservation and sent when you choose, and the contract list shows which have come back.
See howA board that survives the weekend
Every clean and handover for those two days, assigned by name, on the phone of the person doing it. All of it derived from the tenancies, so a late arrival moves its own task.
See howThe whole team gets an account
Users are free on every plan, which matters when the September team is three times the size of the March one.
See howWhere we are the wrong answer
Worth knowing before the call, not after.
We model a tenancy against a unit. If you let individual rooms in a shared house and need per-room rents, deposits and contracts, look at the co-living page first. The same caveat applies there and it is spelled out more plainly.
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.
