The tenancy admin problem

Manual tenancy administration is slow, inconsistent and impossible to audit -- and a missed compliance step is a liability waiting to surface.

Checkboard replaces the email threads, physical files and manual tracking that make tenancy administration the most time-consuming part of letting management -- with a digital workflow that moves at the tenant's pace and gives your team full visibility.

"Our tenancy admin takes longer than the viewings, offers and negotiations combined."

Manual reference chasing, document collection and agreement printing are slow by design -- because the industry has not modernised the workflow. Checkboard replaces the paper trail with a digital process that runs without constant intervention from your team.

"We had a compliance issue because a step was missed during a busy period."

When tenancy onboarding runs through email threads and physical files, steps get missed under pressure. Checkboard tracks every compliance action and flags incomplete steps before they become a liability.

"Tenants complain about how long our referencing takes."

Slow referencing is one of the most common tenant complaints about letting agents. Checkboard's digital workflow guides tenants through exactly what they need to provide, reducing back-and-forth and getting the process done faster.

"I cannot see at a glance which tenancies have outstanding compliance actions."

Without a dashboard view, your property managers open every file individually to find those needing attention. Checkboard's management view shows every active tenancy and its compliance status in a single screen.

How Checkboard works for your agency

Six capabilities that replace manual tenancy administration with a tracked, digital, compliant workflow.

Checkboard is designed to work within the workflow your team already follows -- replacing the paper and email layer with a tracked digital equivalent.

1

Digital referencing

Tenant referencing initiated and tracked through the platform. Tenants submit their information digitally through a guided workflow. Reference providers receive and return results in the same system -- no email chains between your team and theirs.

2

Compliance tracking

Every compliance step -- right to rent, ID verification, referencing, deposit registration -- is tracked against each tenancy. Outstanding actions are flagged before they become a gap in your audit trail.

3

Digital tenancy agreements

Agreements are generated from your templates and sent for electronic signature through Checkboard. Signatures are timestamped. The signed document is stored against the tenancy record in the platform.

4

Guided tenant onboarding

A digital workflow for tenants that collects everything needed in one pass. Reduces the back-and-forth your team manages when information is collected piecemeal through email.

5

Landlord notifications

Landlords are kept informed of tenancy progress through automated updates. Key milestones -- referencing complete, agreement signed, deposit registered -- are communicated without your team making separate calls.

6

Portfolio management dashboard

A single view of all active tenancies, outstanding actions and compliance status across your portfolio. Property managers prioritise by exception rather than opening every file.

Getting started with Checkboard

From onboarding to tenancy live -- five steps with full digital tracking.

Checkboard is designed for quick adoption. No lengthy CRM integration. No technical implementation project.

1

Set up your portfolio

Your properties and tenancies are configured in Checkboard. Existing tenancies can be imported and new ones set up at offer acceptance.

2

Invite tenants to the digital workflow

When an offer is agreed, tenants are invited to complete their referencing and onboarding through Checkboard's guided digital process. No paper forms. No email attachments.

3

Referencing tracked in the platform

Reference providers are connected through the platform. Your team can see the status of each reference without chasing by phone or email.

4

Compliance checked and logged

Right to rent, ID verification and deposit registration are completed and recorded. Every step is timestamped and stored for your audit trail.

5

Agreement signed and tenancy live

The tenancy agreement is generated, sent for e-signature and stored in the platform. Your team has a complete, compliant record from offer to move-in -- accessible from one view.

Our property managers used to spend a significant chunk of their day chasing references and documents by email. Since we switched to Checkboard, that time has largely disappeared. The compliance dashboard means we can see instantly what is outstanding across our whole portfolio rather than opening each file individually. And the feedback from tenants on the digital process has been positive too.

Frequently asked questions

What letting agents ask about Checkboard.

Does Checkboard replace our current referencing provider?
Checkboard integrates with referencing providers and manages the workflow around them. It does not necessarily replace your referencing partner -- it makes managing the process significantly more efficient, with full visibility of each reference's status.
Is it suitable for a small letting agency?
Yes. Checkboard is designed for letting agents of all sizes. The compliance tracking and workflow automation are particularly valuable for smaller teams where individual staff carry responsibility for multiple tenancies simultaneously.
How does electronic signing work?
Tenancy agreements are generated within Checkboard from your templates and sent to all parties for e-signature. Signatures are timestamped and the completed document is stored in the platform. This is legally valid for assured shorthold tenancy agreements under UK electronic signature law.
Can we see compliance status across our whole portfolio?
Yes. The management dashboard gives a portfolio-wide view of compliance status. Outstanding actions -- unsigned agreements, pending references, missing deposit registrations -- are visible by exception.
How does it help with right to rent compliance?
Right to rent checks are tracked within Checkboard's compliance workflow. The platform records when the check was completed, what was seen and by whom -- providing an audit trail if a right to rent compliance review is ever carried out on your agency.
Is Checkboard integrated with major letting platforms?
Speak to the Checkboard team about specific integration requirements. The platform is designed to work within the workflow of UK letting agencies alongside the tools they already use.
