Student Housing
An academic-year cycle, a lot of short tenancies turning over at once, and guarantors who are not the tenant. Volume is the problem, not complexity.
Owners of hostels and rooms let to students.
What makes this hard
Everything turns over in the same fortnight
An entire hostel empties and refills around the academic calendar, and the admin lands in one burst.
The payer is not the occupant
A parent or guarantor usually pays, and the record has to hold both without confusing who lives there.
What Domicium does about it
Student housing as its own property type
Recorded distinctly rather than as generic residential, so it can be searched for and reported on separately.
Leases & TenanciesGuarantor on the rental passport
A renter records a guarantor's name and phone once, and it travels with every application they make.
Verification & TrustRent advance flagged as residential
Student housing gets the same advance protections as residential, because that is what it is.
Leases & Tenancies
The screens you would live in
Captured from the running product, not drawn. Every figure came out of the database through the same code a customer uses.
What it does not do for student housing yet
- No bulk tenancy creation or renewal — a hostel turning over forty rooms creates them one at a time.
- No room-sharing model: a room with two occupants is one tenancy.
