What your landlord sees: the activity feed
A landlord's home page lists what was done on their properties in the last 30 days, and by whom: notices, safety records, deposits, repairs, inspections and registrations.

Landlords pay for compliance and carry the legal risk, so they want to know what was done without chasing their agent. The activity feed shows them, read straight from the records.
Who this is for: letting agencies and landlords.
What you are deciding
If you are a landlord: what to check or ask about. If you are an agency: what your landlord will see, so nothing surprises them.
Your options
- Glance at the home page. The card What was done on your properties shows the headline, how many things need a look, and the latest eight items.
- See everything. Select Show all for the full list, filtered to the last 7, 30 or 90 days and to one property.
- Look at what needs attention first. Items in red, such as a repair past its target or a tenant who referred a rent increase, are counted and listed first.
- Agencies: see a landlord's view. On a landlord's page, the card What this landlord sees shows the same feed for that landlord's properties. It is shown for a person, not for a company.
What is in it, and what is not
The feed covers notices served and tenants' replies, safety records added and given to tenants, deposits protected and their information served, repairs reported, closed or past their target, inspections, Right to Rent checks and PRS Database registrations. Each item names the account that did it and opens the record.
It never includes notes, internal messages or tenants' contact details. Tenants do not see it.
A worked example
On Monday 7 December 2026 a landlord with three flats managed by an agency opens her home page. The card reads: 9 things done across 3 properties in the last 30 days, 1 to look at. At the top, in red, a damp repair at Flat 2 reported on 20 November 2026 is past its target. Below it: a gas safety record added at Flat 1 on 2 December 2026 and given to the tenant the same day, and a deposit of £950.00 protected at Flat 3. She asks the agency about the repair rather than about everything.
What Abide.Rent does for you
- Builds the feed from the records themselves, across every account that manages the landlord's properties.
- Counts and lists first anything that needs attention.
- Lets an agency see exactly what one landlord sees, before the landlord asks.
If something goes wrong
- The feed is empty
What to do: Nothing was recorded on your properties in the period. Choose 90 days, or check with your agent that they keep their records in Abide.Rent. - You cannot see the agent's notes
What to do: Notes and internal messages are never in the feed. Ask the agent if you need more detail.
Common mistakes
- Recording work in a note instead of on the record. A note does not appear in the feed.
- Leaving a repair open after it is fixed. It shows as past its target.
- Expecting the feed to show messages. It shows what was done, not what was said.
