HMO management software is built for shared housing, where rent is paid by room not by property, licences need renewing on a council-set cycle, and compliance certificates stack up faster than in a single let. August is HMO management software for self-managing landlords with two or more properties, built around HMO structure rather than adapted from single-let tools. It replaces spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads and scattered documents with one live system that knows the difference between a property and a tenancy.

Manage shared houses without chasing rent, losing documents, or missing key compliance dates.

HMO landlord, Birmingham, 7 tenants
I've got five rooms, five different payment dates, and one lodger who always pays in two halves. August handles all of it. I can see at a glance who's paid and who hasn't, without building a spreadsheet every month.

HMO landlord, Leeds, 18 properties
One of my HMO licences was due for renewal and I'd completely lost track of the date. August flagged it six weeks out. That's the kind of thing that gets you a £30,000 fine if you miss it.

Answers to the most common questions from Landlords and Tenants using August.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
You can cancel at any time, and your data stays yours. Before you cancel, you can export your rent records, tenancy documents and payment history so you have a full archive outside August. After cancellation, your account is kept in a read-only state. Your data is deleted in line with our privacy policy after that. There are no exit fees and no contractual lock-in.
What counts as an HMO in the UK?
An HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) is a property let to three or more tenants who form more than one household and share facilities like a kitchen or bathroom. A "large HMO", five or more tenants from two or more households, needs a mandatory licence from the local council. HMOs are taxed, regulated and managed differently from single-let properties, which is why August is built around the HMO structure rather than adapted to it. For the official definition, see UK Government guidance on houses in multiple occupation.
I already use a spreadsheet. Why switch?
Spreadsheets work until rent is late, a certificate expires or a document goes missing. August gives you a live system that updates from your bank, stores documents by property and surfaces reminders before deadlines pass, none of which a spreadsheet does on its own. You also stop being the bottleneck: if you are away, August still knows who paid and what is due.
Will my tenants see my personal phone number?
No. Every tenant conversation happens inside the August app, so your personal mobile number stays private. Tenants message you through their own August account. Conversations are timestamped and on record, which means you have a clear paper trail if a dispute ever ends up in court or in front of an ombudsman. Your phone stays yours, your evenings stay yours, and the professional distance that protects you in a dispute stays intact.
Does August handle Making Tax Digital for HMO landlords?
Yes. Landlords with property income over £50,000 must submit quarterly digital tax returns under MTD for Income Tax. August keeps rental income and expenses in HMRC-recognised categories from day one, so your quarterly figures are totalled and ready when the deadline arrives. You can generate financial reports, filter by financial year or quarter, and export to Excel or CSV for your accountant. HMRC submission is available on the August web app. MTD reporting is included on Growth, Portfolio and Portfolio+.
Can August store HMO licences, certificates and deposits?
Yes. You can upload HMO licences, gas safety certificates, EICRs, EPCs, tenancy agreements and prescribed information documents, kept by property and tenant so they are easy to find when you need them.
When you upload a licence or certificate, August reads the expiry date and sets a renewal reminder automatically. Every document is timestamped on upload and on send, so when the council emails for your licence or a tenant disputes the deposit, the record is right there.
Does August handle HMO rent by room and on different days?
Yes, that is the foundational HMO requirement and it is built around it. August connects to your bank via Open Banking and matches rent by tenant and room, so a five-tenant HMO shows up as five clear rows with five separate statuses, not one lump sum. It does not matter if one tenant pays on the 1st and another on the 5th; rent expected dates are set per tenancy, and weekly, fortnightly or monthly schedules all work side by side. Split or partial payments are flagged so you can confirm and reconcile them manually.
How much does August cost and which plan is right for my HMO?
August offers four plans so you only pay for what you need. Free covers up to 2 tenancies, enough to evaluate the product. Growth at £8.99/month covers up to 5 tenancies, suitable for a small HMO or two single-lets. Portfolio at £14.99/month covers up to 20 tenancies, where most HMO landlords with one to three properties land. Portfolio+ at £29.99/month covers unlimited tenancies for larger portfolios.
Every paid plan starts with a 30-day free trial and a 14-day money-back guarantee, with no setup fees, no per-property charges, and the option to cancel any time.
