Run student accommodation room by room
Manage bed-level lettings, guarantors, joint tenancies, summer turnarounds, and 24/7 student support from one platform.
Student accommodation is its own discipline: rooms let individually or as joint tenancies, rent that often runs through guarantors, a packed summer turnaround window, international arrivals at all hours, and HMO safety duties on shared houses. Social Home is built for that reality. Manage every room and bed as its own unit, collect rent per student, generate the right tenancy agreements in minutes, and keep licences and safety certificates on track. An AI concierge answers student questions around the clock, and self check-in gets international students into their rooms without anyone meeting a 2am flight. Whether you run purpose-built student accommodation, a university portfolio, or a cluster of student HMOs, you get the room-level control generic landlord tools simply do not offer.

Built for the way students actually rent
Generic property software assumes one tenancy per building. Student accommodation needs the opposite: many tenancies, guarantors, staggered move-ins, and a compliance load that grows with every occupant. Social Home handles all of it natively, so your team spends less time wrestling spreadsheets and more time looking after students.

Hit the summer turnaround deadline every year
“We let 300 beds across PBSA and student houses. Managing it room by room, with guarantors and self check-in for our international students, used to take a wall of spreadsheets. Social Home put it in one place and our summer turnaround finally runs on schedule.”
Rebecca Stone — Head of Student Operations
Frequently asked questions
Can I manage student accommodation at room and bed level?
Yes. Each room or bed is managed as its own unit with an independent tenancy, rent, and dates, while you still see occupancy and yield across the whole scheme. This is exactly what PBSA operators and student HMO landlords need, and what generic landlord software cannot do.
Does it handle guarantors and joint tenancies?
It does. You can record guarantor arrangements against student tenancies and generate either individual or joint tenancy agreements, with e-signature so students can sign before they arrive. Rent is collected and reconciled per student so nothing is missed.
How does it help with the summer turnaround?
Between academic years you can dispatch and track the surge of cleans and repairs to vetted contractors, with access codes issued automatically and every job tracked to completion, so every room is ready before the next intake moves in.
Is it compliant for student HMOs?
Yes. Social Home tracks HMO licences and all required safety certificates, gas, EICR, fire risk, emergency lighting, across every shared student house, with reminders before expiry and one-click evidence packs for council inspections.
