The National Residential Landlords Association has launched a partnership with utility management service Homebox.

Homebox helps users notify water and energy companies, and local authorities, about tenancy changes. It claims to save landlords an average of 90 minutes of admin during the changeover period between tenancies. The service also provides a home setup consultancy for new tenants, allowing them to combine all of their utility bills into a single monthly payment. 

NRLA members have a perk – they will be able to receive accurate utility bills with up to £15 credit applied automatically, each time there’s a void. 

An NRLA spokesperson says: “Void periods can produce stress and added costs for landlords. NRLA members can now benefit from Homebox’s trusted services, which reduce the administrative burden many landlords experience in the period between tenancies.”

And a Homebox representative adds: “Our exciting partnership empowers landlords to streamline and automate utility management, removing the administrative burden of the change-of-tenancy process. Part of this includes dedicated support with void management and tenant concierge solutions. Best of all, our services are completely free.”
