Lavanda to launch new service solution for tenancy breaches

Lavanda, a short-term rental platform for tenants in the private sector, is getting ready for its official launch a new service in a move to solve tenancy breaches resulting from subletting that seem to be rampant in the UK.

Lavanda Residential, a new service from the property management company based in London, is the result of a strategic partnership struck with industry experts JLL and global asset manager Aberdeen Standard Investments.

Both tenants and landlords using Lavanda’s service log into an app in which the building managers can allocate a number of a days in a year in which a tenant can sublet a property in a legal way.

The new service promises benefits to both landlords and tenants.

Tenants can reduce their costs of living by monetizing periods of “slack capacity” in their rented homes, while landlords can take a portion of the revenue generated from a tenant subletting a property.

Trials of the platform are taking place across three private rented sector blocks, which are home to more than 470 different properties. Two of the trials are in London, while another is taking place in Leicester.
