Tenancies

PropLink Lettings tenancy management is Coming soon. The design we are building to is below.

What a tenancy will hold

• The tenant (or tenants, for joint tenancies) from the contact directory.
• The property and unit.
• The start date.
• The rent (amount, frequency, payment method).
• The deposit (amount, scheme).
• The Renters Rights Act prescribed terms.
• The agent acting on behalf of the landlord.
• Linked documents (right to rent checks, references, gas certificate, EPC).

Periodic by default

Under the Act, the default is a periodic tenancy. Creating a new tenancy in PropLink will:

1. Set the rent period.
2. Apply the prescribed clauses from the Act.
3. Generate the tenancy agreement PDF.
4. Send it to the tenant for signature (electronic signature integration is planned).
5. Capture countersignature from the landlord.

Renewals and rollovers

Periodic tenancies do not need renewal. PropLink will instead support:

• Rent reviews (limited in frequency per the Act).
• Mutual ending by tenant or landlord notice.
• Conversion of legacy fixed-term ASTs to the new regime as commencement allows.

Ending a tenancy

The Act narrows the routes to end a tenancy. PropLink will support:

• Tenant notice — two months from the tenant.
• Section 8 grounds under the new expanded list.
• Surrender — mutual agreement.

PropLink will not support Section 21 because the ground has been abolished.

Why it is not live yet

The Renters Rights Act commencement is staged. We are building Lettings against the final Act and the Decent Homes Standard guidance, both of which continue to evolve. Once the regime is clear, we will ship Lettings in phases.

What sales should say

Lettings is coming. The roadmap is firm: tenancies and rent collection first, deposit protection and notices second, HMO and Right to Rent third. The exact release dates depend on commencement orders.
