Members may remember last year, Jackson Jacob came to talk to us about his student project seeking to improve the tools available to both tenants and landlords.
He has now progressed this to the stage where a new app is being launched, which he says could be a replacement for StudentPad.
Jackson tells us that he has a minimal viable product that could serve as its replacement. You can find it on https://www.lordly.app and, it is free to use.
The site has a range of features that he hopes you will find useful as a landlord; to name a few:
LordlyWe were worried about asking landlords to switch to a new app, how would landlord data be secured, what would be the benefits, etc - so we posed these questions to Jackson and this is what he said:
Storing data securely and in a compliant manner is a primary focus for us! We are actively working on getting Microsoft accreditation to prove this. Functionality of the app includes:

Martin began his landlord journey 15 years ago, while working in an international role for a global telecommunications company. Since retiring he has extended his portfolio, which he manages with his wife, but has always focussed on the ‘small student HMO’ sector preferring to offer homes in the community for small groups to the more common ‘pack them in and take the money’ mentality. He has chaired the PDPLA for the past 6 years and has overseen the Associations transition from small local self-help group to a much larger and more professional institution which is recognised and listened to nationally. Alongside his PDPLA role, he also has leadership roles in a number of other local organisations – bringing his unique perspective, driving for change and increased use of technology while respecting the history that brought us here.
