Introducing the Tenancy Hub: One Page for the Full Tenancy Lifecycle
Version: 0.1.210
Managing the end of a tenancy used to mean jumping between five or more separate pages — Check-In, Check-Out, Deductions, Deposit Release, and Compliance all lived at their own top-level routes, each with its own header and back-navigation. It was easy to lose your place, especially at the critical moment after completing a check-out and needing to start the deposit release process.
With v0.1.210, all of that is unified into a single, tabbed Tenancy Hub on the Tenancy Detail page.
What is the Tenancy Hub?
The Tenancy Hub is a tab strip at the top of every Tenancy Detail page (/dashboard/tenancies/[id]). It gives you a single place to move through the entire tenancy workflow without leaving the page.
Tabs
- Overview — Key tenancy details, dates, parties, and current status at a glance.
- Check-In — Record and review check-in condition reports and supporting evidence.
- Check-Out — Complete and review the check-out inspection, including photo evidence.
- Deductions — Review, raise, and negotiate proposed deposit deductions.
- Deposit Release — Initiate and track the deposit release process once deductions are agreed.
- Compliance — Verify adherence to the Renters' Rights Act requirements for this tenancy.
Each tab loads its content inline — the tenancy context (property, parties, dates) is already present so there is no waiting for additional page loads.
Progress at a glance
The Tenancy Workflow Banner — which previously only appeared on the main tenancy detail view — is now integrated as the tab header across all six tabs. It shows you which steps are complete, which are in progress, and what needs attention next, no matter which tab you are currently on.
This makes it straightforward to see, for example, that a check-out is complete and the deductions tab is the logical next step — without needing to remember the workflow order yourself.
Deep linking to a specific tab
You can navigate directly to any tab using the ?tab= query parameter:
/dashboard/tenancies/[id]?tab=overview
/dashboard/tenancies/[id]?tab=check-in
/dashboard/tenancies/[id]?tab=check-out
/dashboard/tenancies/[id]?tab=deductions
/dashboard/tenancies/[id]?tab=deposit-release
/dashboard/tenancies/[id]?tab=compliance
This is useful for linking directly from notification emails, workflow banners, or external integrations to the exact step that needs attention.
Why this matters
The most common end-of-tenancy workflow — Check-Out → Deductions → Deposit Release — previously required navigating through at least four separate pages. With the Tenancy Hub, the entire sequence happens in one place. This reduces confusion, speeds up resolution, and keeps all parties focused on the evidence and decisions at hand rather than the navigation.
