A property's Occupancy tab

Open a property and choose Occupancy. It manages a property let by the room — each room, who is in it, and what it charges — instead of one tenancy over the whole place.

The picture above shows it: three rooms, one of them let.

1 of 3 rooms occupied sits at the top with a progress bar, and + Add room adds another.

This tab is the rooms — naming them and tracking which are let. The contracts, tenants and deposits themselves live on the Tenancy tab.

Switching a property to room-by-room

Occupancy only appears once a property is set to be let by the room — and you set that yourself. Open the Tenancy tab and find the Letting arrangement card:

The chip on it reads Whole property until you change it.

Click it and choose One shared (joint) contract — housemates on one agreement, rooms tracked — or Let by room · a contract per room.

Moving between whole and a joint let is safe and reversible: no lease is touched, and the Occupancy tab appears as soon as you switch.

What you do on this tab

1. + Add room for each lettable room, with its name and asking rent.
2. Each room shows Let or Empty, and its occupant once one is on a contract.
3. The property's Finance adds the rooms together, so you get the room detail and the property total from the same figures.

If the tab isn't there

• No Occupancy tab? The property is still set to Whole property. Change the letting arrangement on its Tenancy tab, above, and the tab appears.
• Is this even an HMO? Three or more people from two or more households sharing a kitchen or bathroom usually means an HMO licence — a compliance duty, separate from this tab.
