The HMO Admin Nightmare

Every room adds complexity. These are the problems that scale with your portfolio.

Per-room deposit protection

Each tenant needs individual DPS registration across 5-15 rooms per property. Miss the 30-day deadline and you face a 3x deposit penalty. Across a portfolio, it is a compliance time bomb.

Arrears across multiple rooms

One tenant default is manageable. Chasing 2-3 across 5 properties is a full-time job. Standing orders and bank transfers offer zero visibility until the money doesn't arrive.

Slow screening kills occupancy

Average void is 16.8 days — that is £25-33/day lost in London. Traditional referencing takes days, not hours. Mixed households mean mixed credit profiles: students, professionals, internationals, UC claimants.

Software fragmentation

Arthur Online for management, DPS for deposits, Canopy for screening, HomeLet for guarantees, PayProp for payments. None of them talk to each other. You are the integration layer.

One Platform, Every Room Covered

Payments, screening, guarantee, and invoicing — designed for multi-tenant HMO operations from day one.

Per-Room Payments

Collect rent individually per room via card, bank transfer, or open banking. Real-time reconciliation so you know instantly who has paid and who hasn't.

Diverse Tenant Screening

Screen young professionals, students, internationals, and housing benefit tenants in minutes. Built for the mixed-profile reality of HMO households.

Room-Level Guarantee

Rent guaranteed per room, not per property. If one tenant defaults or a room sits void, your income is protected. No more cascading arrears across your portfolio.

HMO Billing

Automated per-room invoicing with bills split across tenants. Handle mid-month move-ins, room swaps, and different rent amounts without spreadsheets.

How It Works

From listing to guaranteed rent in three steps. Cut your void time and start collecting faster.

List your room

Add the room to CasaPay with rent amount, tenancy dates, and any specific requirements. Takes under 2 minutes per room.

CasaPay screens the tenant

Prospective tenant completes screening in minutes — even internationals and those with thin credit files. You get a clear decision, not a raw credit score.

Rent guaranteed from move-in

Tenant moves in with zero deposit. Rent is collected automatically and guaranteed to you every month. Arrears and voids are CasaPay's problem, not yours.

Zero Deposit
