Studentpad works very closely with The University of Portsmouth and as such you need to join The University of Portsmouth Scheme (see below for details) to be able to advertise on the web site. The University of Portsmouth solely use the studentpad software to advertise your properties. In turn, all of the students are referred to The University of Portsmouth website and it is therefore very successful for registered landlords.
Should you require a paper-based format of the Landlord Registration Criteria and/or the registration form, please contact Student Housing directly.
The Advert.
Your property will be displayed as a full page advert detailing all of your properties' important featuresand can include up to six photographs and a link to a location map.
Property Management Module
By registering you will also be able to utilise a number of features which will help you in your day to day tasks, free of charge. These functions include the ability to allow you to manage your maintenance works, send automatic rent reminders to students and remind yourself when gas certificates are due. New features including contract management, online fault reporting and key management will be available soon.
Photographs.
Although not compulsory, photographs make a huge difference to your advert and students find them very helpful. Photographs can only be accepted in electronic form and must be jpeg or gif files.
