Stop Hunting for Your Urgent Tenancies — They're Now at the Top

Stop Hunting for Your Urgent Tenancies — They're Now at the Top

Release v0.1.233 · Intelligence update

The problem with 'Newest First'

Imagine opening your tenancies list to find the most recently added tenancy sitting at position one — a new let with no end date in sight and nothing outstanding. Meanwhile, three rows down (or maybe three pages down), there's a tenancy expiring in 48 hours with no check-out report on file.

That was the reality with our previous default sort. Newest First is intuitive for data entry, but it's the wrong mental model for property management. Managing a portfolio isn't about admiring what you just added — it's about acting on what's about to go wrong.

What's changed

As of v0.1.233, the tenancies list defaults to 'Needs Attention First'.

The list now opens with a risk-ordered view:

  1. Tenancies ending within 7 days — with no check-out report. These are your fire-drill items. The clock is running and the evidence trail isn't started yet.
  2. Ended tenancies where the deposit hasn't been released. The tenancy is over but the financial close-out isn't. These sit in regulatory no-man's-land.
  3. Tenancies with an unprotected deposit. A compliance risk that needs fixing before it becomes a legal one.
  4. Everything else, newest first. The standard fallback for tenancies with no outstanding flags.

This isn't new logic — it's consistent logic

The dashboard work queue has always surfaced urgency. The Properties page has always had a 'risk_desc' sort. The tenancies list was the odd one out, defaulting to a chronological view while every other urgency surface in the platform behaved differently.

This release closes that gap. The same risk-ordering that powers the Properties page is now applied to the Tenancies list. One mental model, consistently applied across the platform.

Nothing is hidden, nothing is removed

If you preferred Newest First, it's still there in the sort dropdown — one click away. Deposit (High–Low) sorting is also unchanged. The only difference is what greets you when you land on the page.

The goal

Every day you open the tenancies list, the answer to "what needs my attention right now?" should be on your screen before you've had to think about it. That's what this release delivers.
