Lettings tech platform Goodlord has announced a new integration with end-of-tenancy platform The Depositary, helping agents streamline the transition from tenancy management to tenancy conclusion.
The Depositary helps letting agents manage move-out processes including tenant communications, checkouts, cleaning coordination and deposit returns. The integration with Goodlord now allows agents to initiate and manage these processes directly within the Goodlord platform, extending the Goodlord journey from tenancy management all the way through to move-out support.
Agents using Goodlord can now send tenancy data directly to The Depositary, removing the need for manual or duplicate data entry across multiple systems. Key information about the tenancy, property, deposit, agent and landlord transfers automatically from Goodlord to The Depositary, where a tenancy record is created without further input from the agent.
The launch follows Goodlord's partnership with property software provider Reapit last month, signalling the company's ambition to give agents end-to-end support across the full tenancy journey.
Admin pressures continue to weigh heavily on agents. Goodlord's latest research found that 76% of agents find the amount of admin in their day-to-day work limiting, with admin and compliance burdens accounting for a fifth of operational bottlenecks.
By consolidating workflows, the integration aims to help agents reduce administrative overheads, improve operational efficiency and deliver a smoother experience for landlords and tenants alike.
"End-of-tenancy is one of the most operationally complex and time-intensive stages of the rental journey, and one that's traditionally been fragmented across multiple systems," said Tom Goodman, managing director at Goodlord. "This integration with The Depositary removes that friction."
He added: "By connecting move-out workflows directly with Goodlord, agents can eliminate duplicate admin, reduce errors and manage the entire tenancy lifecycle in one place. It's a natural evolution of our platform, and another step towards giving agents the tools they need to operate efficiently, without being limited by admin and technology bottlenecks."
Kristjan Byfield, co-founder at The Depositary, welcomed the tie-up. "I have long been a fan of Goodlord, in fact, there have been many pitches where I have introduced The Depositary as 'Goodlord but for the END of tenancy process,' so it is only logical to see our two companies integrate," he explained.
"The UK's largest tenancy facilitation platform is partnering with the UK's only tenancy conclusion platform to help agents massively reduce their administrative burden whilst giving tenants and landlords alike a first-class, digital experience."
He continued: "Together we're making everything easier, faster and better for everyone."
