Tenaqo vs landlord management apps

The Command Centre surfaces the highest-priority actions across all properties in one view, ranked by urgency and compliance deadline.

Varies by provider and plan. Notification panels and reminder lists are common. A unified, priority-ranked action queue covering compliance, maintenance and payment in one view is less standardised.

Properties, tenancies and compliance records can be imported via spreadsheet. Imported rows are held for landlord review before being accepted into active records.

Common in established platforms. Most accept CSV or spreadsheet uploads for property and tenancy data. A staged review step before records become active is not universal.

Imported compliance records keep a visible source label across Tenaqo's supported review surfaces. The dates come from the landlord's spreadsheet and Tenaqo has not checked the underlying record.

Source labelling for imported versus natively recorded compliance was not commonly presented as a distinct feature among the providers reviewed.

Work orders move from reported to resolved with documented hand-offs. Contractors can receive and update work orders through the contractor portal. Job updates, status history and supporting evidence can be recorded through the workflow.

Varies significantly by platform and plan. Maintenance request tracking is common. A full work-order system with structured contractor access and photo evidence at each stage is more common in agency-grade platforms.

Tenaqo can generate inspection and compliance evidence packs. These are operational records useful for dispute preparation. They are not independently reviewed or legally verified.

Document storage and timestamped audit trails are common across the category. Compiled evidence packs bundled for dispute preparation are less standardised.

Tenants can submit maintenance requests and view documents through the tenant portal. Contractors can receive and update work orders through the contractor portal.

Tenant portals are common in modern platforms. Dedicated contractor portals with structured work-order access are more common in agency-grade or larger-portfolio platforms.

Portfolio Health shows compliance pressure and activity across all properties. Scoring is based on records created within Tenaqo. Imported compliance data is not included in these scores.

Financial dashboards and property overviews are common. Compliance pressure scoring that separates data by record origin is less commonly a distinct feature.

Tenaqo can connect to HMRC, retrieve obligations and confirm business registration details. Requires a Government Gateway connection. Available to qualifying accounts.

Varies significantly. Some platforms offer direct HMRC integration; others connect through accounting software or do not provide HMRC connectivity.

Tenaqo supports quarterly MTD record preparation and draft review, mapping income and expenses to HMRC categories for landlord review before submission.

Platforms that offer MTD connectivity typically include quarterly record preparation. Not all platforms offer quarterly record management or HMRC category mapping.

Pilot access only. Not open to all customers.

Some platforms offer direct live HMRC submission. Available on qualifying plans for platforms that support MTD filing.

Tenaqo is a responsive web application. Core workflows are accessible on mobile browsers without a separate download.

Responsive web access is broadly standard across modern property management platforms.

Tenaqo does not currently offer a native iOS or Android application.

Native mobile apps are available on some platforms, particularly consumer-focused UK landlord tools. Coverage and feature depth on mobile varies by provider.

A live UK Open Banking bank-feed connection with automatic rent matching is not currently available in Tenaqo.

Open Banking bank feeds with automatic rent matching are available on some UK-focused platforms, particularly those targeting self-managing landlords.
