For Tenants

How do I access the Tenant Portal?
You can log in using the credentials provided in your Welcome Pack. If you haven't received them, please contact your building manager. The portal allows you to view leases, pay rent, and submit maintenance requests.
I have lost my key/fob. What is the procedure?
For security reasons, replacement keys must be ordered through the Tenant Portal. There is a standard administrative fee plus the cost of the hardware. Processing typically takes 24-48 hours.
How is heating/water consumption calculated?
Meters are read remotely on a monthly basis. You can view your detailed consumption charts in the Portal under the 'Utilities' tab. Final reconciliation happens annually.

For Owners

When are monthly statements generated?
Financial reports are automatically generated and uploaded to your Owner Portal by the 10th business day of the following month. You will receive an email notification when they are ready.
How do you handle tenant screening?
We use a rigorous 3-step verification process: 1) Credit solvency check (SOLUS/CERD), 2) Employment verification, and 3) Previous landlord references. Our strict criteria ensure a default rate below 0.5%.
