The squeezed landlord: Protecting margin in the periodic tenancy era

No more rent bidding. No more large upfront payments. Rent increases capped to once a year. The new Renters' Rights Act doesn't change your costs — but it absolutely changes how you can grow income.

This session from Homebox focuses on cost-side margin recovery: reducing void-period utility liability, avoiding council tax during voids where legally possible, capturing landlord-entitled savings from suppliers like British Gas, and streamlining the admin overhead of more frequent tenant turnover.

It will include a segment on how to turn the tenant's move-in into a better experience (bundled bills, comparison, contents insurance) without extra operational cost.

Speaker

Founder and CEO, Homebox

Jack Ray founded Homebox in 2016, originally as Billing Better, with a simple goal: to take some of the stress out of renting. His focus has always been on reducing money anxiety and giving people back time to spend on the things that matter most.

Today, Homebox helps thousands of tenants and property operators across the UK simplify rental admin. From helping renters roll their household bills into one monthly payment, to supporting property professionals with utility management during changes in occupancy, Jack has built the business around solving everyday problems in a practical, thoughtful way.

Homebox integrates with property CRMs and utility systems to capture, validate and display bill data, helping partners save time and making the moving process smoother for everyone involved.

Alongside leading Homebox through its next phase of growth, Jack also serves as Chair of the Supplier Committee at The Association for Rental Living, where he works with others across the sector to help move the build-to-rent and wider living industry forward.
