“We’ve recently moved to COHO from another property management software provider and it was a great decision.”

Common questions about HMO management software
What is HMO management software?
HMO management software is built for Houses in Multiple Occupation, where several tenants share one property. It tracks rent room by room, keeps a separate agreement for each tenant, manages HMO licence and safety compliance, and lets you message one tenant or the whole house.
What should HMO management software include?
Room-level rent tracking, automated rent collection, HMO licence and compliance tracking, individual tenant onboarding, maintenance management with tenant reporting, and tools for messaging several tenants at once. COHO includes all of these as standard on every plan.
Does HMO management software help with compliance?
Yes. COHO tracks Gas Safety certificates, EICRs, EPCs, fire safety, PAT and HMO licences for every property, with reminders well before anything is due for renewal.
Can I use it for single lets and mixed portfolios too?
Yes. COHO manages HMOs, single lets, student lets and mixed portfolios from one account, so you don't need separate software for different property types.
Is COHO suitable for letting agents who manage HMOs?
Yes. Alongside room-level rent and compliance, COHO gives agents client accounting with owner settlements and statements, team assignments by property, and a listing in the HMO Agent Directory.
How much does HMO management software cost?
COHO costs £30 a month for up to 12 units on the Compact plan, and £2.50 per unit per month for 12 to 100 units on the Growth plan. All prices are plus VAT. See pricing for the full details.
How do I move my HMOs over to COHO?
Our Fast Track team can transfer your properties, rooms and tenants from spreadsheets or your current software, so you start with everything already in place.
