When a tenant is a company, you can add licenced occupiers to the tenancy. Both standard tenants and occupiers can be added to the same tenancy. Once added, letters can be set up to send to the occupier, instead of the company, and vice versa.

A licenced occupier is someone whose name is not on the rental agreement, the company that are providing their accommodation are instead.

This feature applies when a tenant was added as a company applicant, as shown in the example below

1. Adding a tenant or an occupier to a tenancy

See notes at top of this article regarding the difference between an occupier and a tenant

From the tenancy record:

  • Additional Tenants / Occupiers are shown in the panel below

 

To add further occupiers or tenants:
