The National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA) has partnered with Homebox.

Homebox provides assistance to landlords and agents during the transition period between tenancies.

The utility management company helps them to notify water and energy companies about tenancy changes alongside informing the relevant authority about council tax arrangements for a rental property.

In addition, it provides a home setup consultation service for new tenants which allows these individuals to combine all of their utility bills into a single monthly payment.

The partnership means NRLA members will be able to receive accurate utility bills with up to £15 credit applied automatically, each time there’s a void.

NRLA deputy director of commercial Sam Croasdale says: “We’re delighted to partner with Homebox, an organisation which seeks to help landlords throughout the market to reduce costs between tenancies.”

“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.”

Homebox director of growth Dan Brumhead adds: “We’re thrilled to have teamed up with the NRLA. Our exciting partnership empowers landlords to streamline and automate utility management, removing the administrative burden of the change-of-tenancy process.”
