What is HMO mode?
When a property is flagged as an HMO, LetSense switches to room-level management. Each room has its own tenancy, rent record, compliance tracking, and tenant portal link.
Enable HMO mode
- Open the property and go to Settings (within the property).
- Toggle HMO property on.
- Enter the number of rooms/lettable units.
Add rooms and tenancies
- Go to the Tenants tab — you will now see a room grid instead of a single tenancy list.
- Click a room to open it and add a tenancy as normal.
- Each room tracks rent and compliance independently.
Compliance for HMOs
In addition to standard certificates, HMOs require a fire alarm system (commercial-grade, not domestic smoke detectors) and an HMO licence if the property meets the threshold. Both are tracked under the Compliance tab.
Occupancy overview
The property Overview tab shows a room-by-room occupancy grid — green for occupied, amber for ending soon, grey for void.
