Lettings

Lettings is PropLink's product for residential rented properties under assured shorthold tenancies and the new Renters Rights Act regime. It will sit alongside Block Management for managing agents who handle both leasehold blocks and rented houses, and stand alone for agents whose business is purely rentals.

This module is Coming soon. The pages in this section describe the design we are building to. Dates and specifics may change.

What Lettings will cover

The Renters Rights Act

The Act is the most significant change to private rented sector legislation in a generation. The key effects:

• The abolition of Section 21 no-fault evictions.
• A new periodic tenancy regime that replaces fixed-term ASTs as the default.
• Changes to grounds for possession under Section 8.
• A new Private Rented Sector Database.
• Mandatory Decent Homes Standard for private rentals.
• A new Private Rented Sector Ombudsman.

PropLink Lettings is being designed against the Act, not retrofitted. See The Renters Rights Act for a property manager's view of what the Act means.

How Lettings will fit with Block Management

A managing agent with both leasehold blocks and rented properties will:

• Keep their sites and units in PropLink as today.
• Turn on Lettings for the units they let.
• Use Block Management for the leasehold service charge cycle on the building.
• Use Lettings for rent collection from each tenant.

Sites, units, contacts, vendors, files, tickets, everything shared stays shared. The two modules see the same data through different workflows.
