HMO Management Software That Actually Understands Licensing
Multi-occupancy properties bring higher yields — and higher complexity. Latch handles room-level billing, licensing renewals, and fire safety compliance so you can focus on growing your HMO portfolio.
The challenges you face
Licensing complexity
Mandatory and additional HMO licences vary by council, expire at different times, and carry fines up to £30,000 for non-compliance. Keeping track across multiple properties is a full-time job.
Room-level rent tracking
Each room has its own tenant, rent amount, and payment schedule. Spreadsheets collapse under the weight of five or six individual tenancies per property.
Compliance overload
Fire doors, emergency lighting, gas safety, EICRs, furniture regulations — HMOs face a unique web of safety requirements that general landlord tools ignore.
Tenant turnover
Rooms turn over faster than whole properties. Every void period means lost income and another round of referencing, right-to-rent checks, and deposit protection.
