Every date, every document, every room. One place.
HMOJo tracks what's expiring, chases what's missing and keeps dated proof of everything you've done.
You know the rules. That was never the problem.
The problem is the four days you'd spend finding the fire risk assessment if an officer asked for it tomorrow.
96% of landlords worry about getting compliance wrong. 95% say they understand the rules fine. The gap between them is the paperwork.

A tenant disputes a deduction. Your evidence is a photo on your phone with nothing to prove when it was taken.
An officer asks for a document from eighteen months ago. You know it exists.
Since 1 May 2026, breaches carry civil penalties up to £7,000 and offences up to £40,000 — and where there are several failures, each one can be penalised separately.

Three things HMOJo will never do.
Worth saying before you trust it with your paperwork.
Flag, never certify
HMOJo records, dates and chases. It never scores a tenant or certifies compliance. Your judgement stays yours.
You approve everything outbound
Jo drafts, you send. No message leaves without your explicit approval.
We never touch rent money
Rent is recorded for your dashboard. Collection stays wherever it lives today.
Three steps, then it runs.
- 1
Add your properties and rooms.
Ten minutes. Your postcode resolves your licensing authority automatically.
- 2
Put in what you already hold.
Certificates, licence, tenancy agreements. HMOJo dates every one and shows you what's missing and what's closest to expiring.
- 3
Let new tenancies document themselves.
Every tenant from here on checks in through a link on their phone. The evidence builds itself.
Marquee feature
A dated baseline, agreed by the tenant, before they unpack.
Your tenant walks the room on move-in day with a link on their phone. Every item ticked, every required document acknowledged, the whole thing exportable as a dated PDF.
In a deposit dispute, adjudication is entirely paper-based. A dated record the tenant agreed is the strongest evidence you can produce without hiring an inventory clerk.

Tenant-connected
Tenants get a link, not another app.
Invitations, references, check-in and document acknowledgements all happen through links on their phone. No accounts, no passwords.
Under three minutes, thumb-first
Every tenant flow is single-column and built to be completed standing in the room.
Your name leads, not ours
Every page opens with who asked and why. Tenants are asked to confirm and supply, never scored.
References arrive as records
Contacted, Received, Recorded. You review and decide; HMOJo never issues a verdict.
Built by someone doing the same job.
HMOJo is built by an HMO landlord. Every flow is designed to be completed standing in a bedroom with a phone. If it's annoying to finish that way, it doesn't launch.
Every local authority in England
Your postcode resolves to the correct licensing authority anywhere in England. Where we have verified a council, you see its licensing regime, fees, licence length and Article 4 status, with a link to the source. Where we haven't, you get national averages labelled as estimates.

HMOJo flags; it never certifies. We record what you hold, chase what expires, and point at the gaps. Confirming compliance is always a matter for you and a qualified professional.
Jo AI co-pilot
Jo notices. You decide.
Jo is docked on every screen. When a certificate is expiring or a check-in flags a problem, Jo proposes the next move and drafts the message. Nothing sends until you tap Send.
Trigger. An urgent issue, an expiring certificate, a flagged check-in item.
Proposal. Jo names what happened and suggests one clear action, with sources where guidance applies.
Your approval. Review the draft in place, edit it, send it. Reply-to is always you.
The audit log. Trigger, draft, approval and send are all recorded. The trail is the point.
Shall I draft an email to Mike Reeves (Gas Safe, reg. recorded) with the issue details and this morning's photos?
Enter your postcode. See your council's rules.
We resolve your postcode to the correct licensing authority and show the current fees, Article 4 status and licensing rules. No account needed. England only.
England only. The check itself is anonymous — your postcode is resolved and discarded, and kept only in your own browser so you don't have to type it twice. If you ask us to email you the council pack, we store the postcode and council alongside your email so we can send the right one.
