Add licenced occupiers to a tenancy (when tenant is a company)

This guide has been reviewed against our global client base and classed as relevant to all regions

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

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

A licenced occupier is someone whose name is not on the rental agreement
The company that are providing their accommodation are used for this instead
