Docsroom

Templates / Housing associations

Tenant sign-up, contractor checks and safety papers, from one link.

Tenants forget their ID, contractors forget their insurance and safety certificates go astray, so officers keep chasing. Docsroom asks once, gives each person their own link and shows who has not replied.

Written for housing associations. The names are made up. The replies coming in are an illustration. Build any of these in Docsroom and save it as your own template.

Why it helps

What changes for you

One link for each tenant and contractor

Tenants, contractors and new staff open their own link, with no account or password, and answer from a phone.

Safety certificates in one list

Gas, electrical, fire, water and lift certificates for each block arrive together, each with the date it came in, instead of sitting in one person’s inbox.

Reminders instead of phone tag

Docsroom chases tenants and contractors who have not replied until each one is in, so housing officers spend less time ringing round.
