Module · council & supported housing

Accommodation billed to the council, down to the night.

Everything Lettright does — plus the parts landlords and letting agents who charge the council actually live on: per-night occupancy, monthly council invoices that reconcile, and onboarding packs signed on screen.

From emergency and temporary accommodation to supported housing and HMOs — if the council pays for the stay, this is built for you.

Monthly council invoicing that adds up

Pick the council and the period. Lettright Housing sweeps every occupied property it funds, counts the nights each person was actually there, and builds the invoice — in the format your council already accepts.

  • Choose a council and a month — or any custom date range
  • Standard properties and HMOs come out as separate invoices
  • Per-night, per-person lines that a council can check line by line
  • Your own invoice numbering, continued from your old system
  • Vacated properties still listed, so nothing looks missing

HMOs invoiced separately, the way councils want them

Councils rarely want HMOs mixed in with everything else. Lettright Housing knows which of your properties are HMOs and issues them on their own invoice — aggregated per property, by room, without occupant names.

  • One click produces both invoices — standard and HMO
  • HMO lines total the room-nights per property, not per person
  • Each stream carries its own invoice number in your sequence
  • Rooms let and re-let independently, each with their own dates

Occupancy tracked night by night

Placements come and go mid-month. The calendar shows exactly which nights were charged for each person, so when a council queries a figure you can answer it in seconds — not rebuild it from memory.

  • Every charged night visible per placement
  • Move-ins and move-outs mid-month handled properly
  • Correct a wrong move-in or move-out date and the nights update themselves
  • Several people in one HMO at once, each on their own dates

Welcome packs, filled in and signed on screen

Send the occupant a link, or hand them a tablet. They fill in their details and sign each page with a finger — and the completed pack lands against the right property, with the household already onboarded.

  • Your own pack — the real document, not a generic form
  • The address arrives pre-filled, so it can't be mistyped
  • Signed on screen, on any phone or tablet, no printing
  • Anything that doesn't match a property waits for review
  • Paper still works — key it in later and it behaves the same

Your portfolio, grouped by who funds it

When several councils fund different properties, seeing them jumbled together helps nobody. Group the whole portfolio by council, or filter to one — and spot anything not yet assigned before invoicing day.

  • Grouped by council, with a count against each
  • Filter to a single council, or list everything A–Z
  • A "no council set" view to catch the gaps
  • Occupied and vacant clear at a glance
