Here’s what went live in COHO in October 2026. Every feature on this list comes included in your subscription – no add-ons, no upgrades. COHO is continuously growing, and this is what that looks like in practice.
Simplify fire safety compliance across your buildings
Managing fire safety records across a large portfolio can involve a lot of repeated administration. Property managers can now assign fire safety records to an entire building, rather than setting them up individually for each property.
This makes it easier to manage compliance across multiple properties within the same building and provides a clearer overview of the records that need attention.
Managers can also download a PDF report of a property’s approved fire safety records, selecting all available record types or only those needed. This makes it easier to share relevant documentation with landlords or councils without having to gather individual records manually.
Make shared-tenancy deposit signing easier
Deposit paperwork can be more complicated when several tenants share a tenancy. Tenants can now sign their deposit paperwork independently, with manager review beginning once everyone required has signed.
Managers can see who has completed the process and whose signature is still outstanding, making it easier to identify what remains to be done and reducing the risk of deposits being held up by missed signatures.
Keep property access secure and controlled
Managers now have more control over which property access codes are shared with landlords.
Specific codes can be made available to landlords while other codes remain private to housemates. This means landlords can receive the access information they need without automatically seeing every code associated with a property.
Property access must be enabled, and managers can select which codes to share, giving them greater flexibility over access and security.
Reduce repetitive work during tenant referencing
When onboarding begins from a viewing, pre-qualification details such as date of birth, employment status and income can automatically carry across into referencing. This reduces the need to enter the same information twice and helps maintain consistency between records.
Guarantor information is also easier to manage. Details of a guarantor recommended by Advanced Rent during referencing are now automatically imported into the tenancy, helping prevent missing information from delaying contracts.
Together, these changes help teams move applicants through the process with fewer manual steps.
Make move-ins and move-outs easier to coordinate
Tenancy managers can now set specific times for move-in and move-out dates, rather than treating every move as an all-day event.
This gives managers greater control over scheduling and makes handovers clearer for everyone involved. Tasks can be planned around the actual agreed time, helping teams coordinate the practical details of a tenant moving in or out.
Attach files directly to conversations
COHO Messenger now allows files, including photos and documents, to be attached when creating a conversation or sending a message.
Keeping supporting information alongside the relevant conversation makes communication more straightforward. Rather than relying on separate workarounds to share evidence or documents, managers can provide the necessary context within the same interaction.
Improve visibility across buildings and properties
Managers can now filter conversations, deposits, owner balances and notices by properties, buildings and tags.
This makes it easier to narrow down information when working across a larger portfolio or managing several properties within one building. Instead of searching through unrelated records, teams can focus on the specific site or group of properties they need.
Make listings and tenant communications more polished
A number of smaller updates also improve the experience for renters and property teams.
Listings now automatically hide sections that have no content, such as empty photo areas or compatibility details, helping property adverts look more complete. They also display a clear message when a property has no current housemates, and listing cards select the best available photo.
Meanwhile, quick answers sent as replies now automatically populate relevant person and property details, reducing the need to edit placeholder text and helping messages feel more personal.
The Section 13 rent increase form has also been improved to pre-fill more information, including agent contact details and previous rent-increase dates. Managers still need to enter the new rent details and signatures, but less information needs to be completed manually.
