Features That Match Each Let Type
Residential, commercial, and holiday lets do not share the same rules. Rent Logger uses the right tenancy setup, rent model, and Xero accounts for each one.
Residential Lets
Houses, flats, bedsits, and maisonettes with long-term tenants. Rent Logger supports the full residential lifecycle from application to exit.
- APT and LTO tenancy types with tenant portal access
- Digital tenancy applications with onboarding, deposits, and Right to Rent
- Automated rent invoicing synced to Xero residential income accounts
- Section 13 rent increases tracked with alerts when an increase is due
- Safety compliance for Gas Safety, EICR, and domestic EPC certificates
- Maintenance requests, contractor jobs, and tenant communications
Commercial Lets
Shops, offices, and other business premises. Commercial leases follow a different rent and compliance path from residential tenancies.
- Commercial Lease tenancy type with business name on tenant records
- Scheduled rent reviews instead of residential Section 13 increases
- Non-domestic EPC tracking with the correct rating scale
- Commercial rent income routed to dedicated Xero accounts
- Rent increase report shows commercial review status across the portfolio
- Streamlined referencing when tenants occupy commercial-only properties
Other Lets
Car parks, land, and other non-residential units that still need rent tracking and portfolio visibility.
- Dedicated parking and land property types in your portfolio
- Licence To Occupy (LTO) for permission-based arrangements
- Rent invoicing and Xero mapping work the same as other tenancies
- Assign only the compliance certificates each unit actually needs
- Portfolio charts break down property types so mixed holdings stay clear
- Per-property tracking categories in Xero for accurate reporting
Holiday & Short-Term Lets
Managed short-term lets where an agent or platform collects guest income and remits the net payout to you.
- Managed short-term let (MSTL) tenancy type with agent assignment
- Agent statement import from PDF with AI extraction and review
- Income split across accommodation, cleaning, extras, and refunds in Xero
- Statement frequency and payout basis configured per agreement
- Yearly income forecast instead of a fixed monthly rent
- Platform and agent clearing accounts when booking via OTAs or agents
Self-Managed or Agent-Managed
Most portfolios mix both. Rent Logger supports direct landlord workflows and agent reconciliation in the same account, with separate Xero organisations and trading policies where you need them.
Self-Managed
Create tenancies directly with the manual contract path. Issue rent invoices, track compliance, and run the tenant portal yourself. Use Tenancy Applications when you want the full onboarding workflow with holding deposits and prescribed information.
Agent-Managed
Record letting agents with their commercial relationship and VAT status. Import agent statements, reconcile deductions, and post to Xero in one flow. Residential rent collection and holiday let remittances both fit this model.
