Find a tenant
Most landlords advertise in one place, collect applications in another, reference somewhere else and sign a paper agreement at the kitchen table. LetCompliance runs the whole find-a-tenant stretch as one line: advert, applications, viewings, referencing, e-signed tenancy — nothing re-typed between them.
Advert included
No per-listing fee and no per-lead charge — advertise every property on your plan.
Your own link
A listing page you control, shared where your tenants are, deactivated the moment it’s let.
Nothing re-typed
Advert to application to reference to signed tenancy, all off the same property record.
Quick answer
You build an advert from the property already on your account, share it as a page on its own link, and take applications straight back to you. Then you book viewings, reference the tenant and any guarantor through a regulated UK credit reference agency, and e-sign the tenancy — all on the same record, so nothing is re-typed from advert to signature. Advertising is part of the plan, not a per-listing fee, and your first property is free.
Finding a tenant is not one job, it is six — and the pain is the hand-offs between them. Here they are as one line, each step feeding the next from the same property record.
Build the advert
From the property you already have: headline, rent, bedrooms, furnishing, available-from, photos. Advertise the whole property or a single room.
Share one link
The advert becomes a clean public page on its own link. Send it to a local group, the outgoing tenant’s contacts, your channels — wherever your tenants are.
Take applications
Interested tenants apply through the link, straight to you, with no account to create. Applications land in one place to compare, not scattered across texts.
Book viewings
Manage viewings alongside the advert, so whoever you show round is already tied to their enquiry. Do them yourself, or hand them to our viewing service.
Reference the tenant
Reference the tenant and any guarantor through a regulated UK credit reference agency — the decision you cannot undo — with the result stored on the tenancy.
E-sign the tenancy
Generate the correct agreement for the current law and have it e-signed, sealed with an audit certificate. Nothing re-typed from advert to signature.
The adverts that get good applications are not the fanciest — they are the ones that answer the questions a tenant asks before they enquire. Cover these and you filter out the wrong people before they book a viewing, which is where advertising actually saves you time.
One clear asking rent
A single monthly figure — the Renters’ Rights Act bans inviting tenants to bid higher, so price it right and state it plainly.
Bedrooms, bathrooms, furnishing
The three filters every tenant applies first. Say furnished, unfurnished or part-furnished; do not make them ask.
Available-from date
The single most common enquiry question. An honest date stops a diary full of viewings from people who need it sooner.
Real photos, in daylight
Every room, taken bright and level. The listing that hides the kitchen gets the viewing that wastes everyone’s morning.
What’s included
Bills, parking, garden, white goods, whether pets may be considered. Clarity here is what a good tenant is looking for.
How to apply
One link that takes an application straight back to you — not “message me” across three inboxes.
LetCompliance builds the advert from these fields off the property you already have, so the listing page is complete and consistent without you writing it from a blank page.
The big portals only take listings through paid agent accounts, so any tool that promises to “post you to Rightmove” is reselling that access. We would rather be straight with you: LetCompliance gives you a listing page you own on its own link, plus everything a portal listing leaves out — the application form, the viewings, the referencing and the signed tenancy.
In practice, plenty of self-managing landlords fill a property from a local Facebook group, the outgoing tenant’s network, and a portal listing bought separately — and run everything from the first enquiry onward right here. The advert is the front of the let; the value is what happens after someone clicks it.
You do not need to be everywhere — you need to be where your tenant looks, then run everything after the click in one place. The link LetCompliance gives you works on all of these.
A property portal
Rightmove, Zoopla and OpenRent reach the most people, but the major portals only accept listings via a paid agent account. Buy that access separately if you want the reach; then point enquiries at your own application link.
Local Facebook & community groups
Area rental groups and local noticeboards fill a surprising number of lets, especially outside city centres. Your listing link drops straight into a post.
The outgoing tenant’s network
The people who already know the property and the area. A good tenant often knows the next one — share the link when you serve notice, not after they leave.
Your own channels
A “to let” sign, a WhatsApp, your own contacts. Every one of them can carry the same link back to the same application inbox.
A good property draws more interest than the one tenancy you are filling. Capture the rest on a waiting list and come back to them for the next void, instead of starting the search cold. This let’s overflow becomes next let’s head start.
One login for the whole let — advertise, apply, view, reference, sign, then run the tenancy, the rent and the compliance from the same place.
Prefer to watch?
A quick, sped-up screen tour of the whole let, end to end. No sign-up, no sales call. Just press play.
You build the advert from the property you already keep in the app — headline, monthly rent, bedrooms and bathrooms, furnishing, available-from date and photos — and it becomes a clean public page on its own link. You share that link wherever your tenants actually are: a portal listing, a local Facebook group, a WhatsApp to the outgoing tenant’s contacts, your own channels. There is no separate advert to re-type; it is the same property record that then runs the tenancy.
Advertising is part of the plan, not a per-listing charge. You can run adverts for every property on your account and take applications through them without paying per advert or per lead. That is deliberate — the advert is the front of the whole let, not a bolt-on you meter.
No, and we are honest about the reason: the big portals only accept listings through paid agent accounts, so any tool that claims to “post you to Rightmove” is really reselling that access. What LetCompliance gives you is a listing page you own on its own link, plus the application, viewing, referencing and e-signing that a portal listing does not include. Many self-managing landlords fill a property from a local group, the outgoing tenant’s network and a portal listing bought separately — and run everything after the enquiry here.
Your advert has an application link. Interested tenants open it and submit their details directly to you — no account for them to create, no inbox full of half-finished emails. Applications land in one place where you can compare them, rather than scattered across texts and DMs. When you pick someone, referencing and the tenancy carry straight on from the same record.
Yes. You can manage viewings for a property in the same place as the advert and the applications, so the person you are showing round is already attached to their enquiry. If you would rather not do the viewings yourself, LetCompliance also offers accompanied viewings as a done-for-you service in parts of the North West — but the software runs your own viewings at no extra cost.
The run continues without re-keying anything: reference the tenant and any guarantor through a regulated UK credit reference agency, take a holding deposit, then generate the correct tenancy agreement for the current law and have it e-signed with an audit certificate. The advert, the application, the reference and the signed tenancy all sit on the same property — which is the point of doing it in one place rather than four.
Yes. Demand for a good property usually outstrips the one tenancy you are filling, so you can capture interested people on a waiting list and come back to them for the next void instead of starting the search from scratch. It turns the enquiries you could not house this time into a head start on the next let.
The advert is a page you control, shared on a link you choose to send — not a permanent public directory entry. You decide who gets the link and you can deactivate it the moment the property is let, so an old advert does not keep circulating after the tenancy has started.
It varies with the property, the price and the area far more than with any tool, but the parts you control are the advert and the response. A clear listing with real photos, an honest available-from date and a single application link tends to fill faster because it attracts the right applicants and puts them in one place to compare, instead of a scatter of half-finished messages. The slow version is usually a vague advert and a full inbox; the fast version is a complete advert and one tidy queue.
Yes. You can advertise a specific room rather than the whole property, which is what house-shares and student HMOs need. The room carries its own rent, the application comes back against that room, and referencing, the tenancy and per-room rent then run from it — so a six-bed HMO is six adverts and six tenancies handled the same way as one flat, not a spreadsheet you maintain by hand.
Applying and referencing are separate steps, on purpose: an application tells you who is interested, and you choose whom to reference rather than paying to check everyone. When you pick someone, referencing runs from their application without re-keying their details — a regulated UK credit and affordability check, plus the Right to Rent check, stored on the tenancy.
