HMO management, room by room
Licences, room-level rent, compliance certificates, tenant management, and contractor coordination for houses in multiple occupation.
Managing an HMO is categorically different from a standard buy-to-let. Every room is its own tenancy, every occupant their own rent schedule, and the licensing and safety obligations are extensive: HMO licence tracking, annual gas safety, EICR, fire risk assessment, emergency lighting, and EPC across every property. Social Home is built for exactly that reality. Manage each room as an independent unit with its own tenant, tenancy, and rent. Track every licence, certificate, and inspection date with reminders that fire before anything lapses. Dispatch and document repairs with vetted contractors and access codes, generate compliant room-by-room tenancy agreements in minutes, and keep your books Making Tax Digital ready. Whether you run one licensed HMO or a growing portfolio, you get the compliance depth and room-level control generic landlord software simply does not offer.

Built for the complexity of shared houses
A standard landlord portal treats a five-bed HMO as one property. Social Home treats it as five independent tenancies, five rent schedules, and one compliance umbrella, because that is what it is. Every room has its own tenant, tenancy, and payment history, while your licence status, certificates, and safety checks are tracked at the property level with reminders that keep you ahead of every deadline.

“Running six licensed HMOs meant six separate spreadsheets for licences, certificates, and rent across thirty rooms. Social Home gave me one place to see it all, and the compliance reminders mean I have never missed a renewal since. My council inspector was impressed at how organised the evidence pack was.”

Frequently asked questions
Can Social Home manage HMOs at room level?
Yes. Each room is managed as its own unit with an independent tenant, tenancy, rent schedule, and payment history. You see the whole-property picture — occupancy, yield, and compliance — from the property view, but everything is tracked at the individual room and tenant level where it matters.
Does it track HMO licences and safety certificates?
It does. Your HMO licence, gas safety certificate, EICR, fire risk assessment, emergency lighting certificate, and EPC are all tracked against each property, with reminders triggered well before each expiry date. One-click evidence packs let you respond to council inspection requests in seconds.
How does rent collection work for shared houses?
Each room has its own rent schedule, invoice, and payment history. Automated reminders go to each tenant individually, missed payments are flagged on day one, and everything reconciles to a clean per-room and per-property ledger. You collect from thirty rooms the same way you would from one.
Is it suitable for licenced HMOs inspected by the council?
Yes, and specifically designed for it. Every safety certificate, inspection, licence, and repair is documented with dates, evidence, and contractor records. When your council inspection arrives, you can produce a full compliance pack immediately, which demonstrates professional management and typically results in faster, smoother renewals.
