Tenavia: one platform for the whole tenancy. Screening, rent, certificates, repairs, photos and records.
Screening lodgers and room applicants from SpareRoom
A room advert brings a flood of replies and no checks of its own. Send every reply one link. Applicants answer six questions, upload ID, payslips and bank statements, and appear on a ranked shortlist. The same 47 checks for a room as for a whole house. One part of Tenavia, which runs the whole tenancy.
Free for one property.3 applicants a year, everything else included. No card, no expiry.

Everything a self-managing landlord does, in one place. Free for one property, 3 applicants a year, no card, no expiry. One plan covers the rest.
How it works for a room
One reply, the same checks, a list you can choose from.
One reply for every message
Paste the link into your SpareRoom replies, or into Gumtree and Facebook too. Serious applicants follow it and answer six questions before any viewing. The curious fall away on their own.
The same checks at a room’s rent
Income that lands, statements that add up, rent that fits. A lodger’s affordability is checked the same way as a tenant’s, and the documents are verified, not just collected.
Choose from a ranked list, keep the reason
Every applicant scored on the same scale, every warning explained in plain words. You decide who moves in, and the decision is recorded with its date.
Compatibility, not partnership. Tenavia is not affiliated with SpareRoom or any listing site. Your advert stays where it is; the link works in any reply. The right to rent check and the ID check stay yours to perform, and a credit check on your chosen applicant is a paid extra rather than part of the plan.

Questions landlords ask
The questions live-in landlords and room letters ask.
Does it work for a lodger in my own home?
Yes. A lodger applicant sends the same documents and appears on the same shortlist as anyone else. The link does not care whether the room is in your home or in a house you let whole.
Is a lodger screened differently from a tenant?
The documents are the same: photo ID, payslips if employed, three months of bank statements. The affordability arithmetic runs against the room’s rent rather than a whole property’s, which is the only difference.
What about applicants without payslips?
Students, freelancers and the self-employed have no payslip, and that is not a mark against them. The bank statements do the talking: what lands, how regularly, and what remains each month after the rent.
Can I use it for several rooms?
Yes. Each room can be listed separately with its own link, so applicants land on the shortlist for the room they asked about. The Portfolio plan covers up to 10 listings.
Do applicants pay anything?
No. Applying is free for applicants, always. Your plan covers the listing, however many people reply.
