Rural estates
Software for rural estates and mixed portfolios
A family estate rarely fits landlord software built for city flats. There are cottages and farmhouses, barns let as workshops, offices in old stables, and leases where the tenant looks after the building. TenantTool keeps all of it in one portfolio, each under the rules that apply to it.

Homes and business lets side by side
Residential tenancies and commercial leases sit in the same workspace, with the right certificates for each. Rent, occupancy and what needs attention are shown across the whole estate on one dashboard.
Full repairing leases, handled properly
Under a full repairing and insuring lease the tenant often takes on certificates and repairs. A certificate can be marked as the tenant’s responsibility, so it stays on record without flagging the property as yours to fix.
Country property has its own list
Record whatever your properties need and it is tracked with its date, alongside the usual gas, electrical and EPC certificates:
- Oil boiler and tank servicing
- Private water supply checks
- Septic tank and drainage servicing
- Chimney sweeping
- Insurance and surveys
Contractors who know the estate
You keep the trades you use in TenantTool. When a job comes in, it suggests the right one from your list, by trade and by who has worked at that property before, which matters when the right plumber is the one who knows the pipework in a two-hundred-year-old cottage.
Where this applies
This guide covers England. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules, so check the requirements for where your property is.
Common questions
- Can I keep the estate and my own portfolio separate?
- Yes. Separate portfolios can be kept in separate workspaces and you can switch between them.
- Do barns and workshops count as commercial?
- In TenantTool they are set up as commercial property types, with leases and the certificates that apply to business lets.
