Rent that gives back — every year.

Fixed-term tenancies are gone. Voluntary retention just got more important.
Since May 2026, tenants can leave any tenancy with just two months' notice — any time. Manna gives landlords a structured, transparent reason for tenants to choose to stay, without relying on a contract to keep them there.

The mechanism

Simple, transparent, fair.

The reward is calculated from official UK House Price Index data for your local authority area — not a figure anyone invents.

01

Tenancy begins

Once the tenancy is 12 months old, the reward mechanism switches on. Until then, growth is tracked but nothing is payable — building toward the first payout.

12-month qualification
02

Growth is assessed

Each month, the landlord logs the official local authority HPI change — public data from the Land Registry, verifiable by anyone. Positive months add to the reward. Negative months reduce it.

Official Land Registry data
03

Reward is calculated

The annual reward is calculated from the cumulative rent paid and the total growth in your area over the year — using official Land Registry data. Landlords set their own calibration to reflect their specific situation, ensuring the scheme works sustainably for both sides.

Honest, auditable formula
For landlords

Keep great tenants. Cut the cost of losing them.

A void period costs far more than a year's reward. Manna turns that maths on its head — structurally.

  • Fewer voids — a tenant with a stake in staying isn't browsing Rightmove
  • Lower re-letting costs — marketing, referencing, new check-in, lost rent
  • Better maintained property — engaged tenants report issues earlier
  • Renters' Rights Act ready — retention incentive now that fixed terms are gone
  • Ethical differentiation — attract better tenants who value this approach
  • Only works with good tenants — Manna is designed for relationships worth maintaining

For tenants

Already a good tenant? You're already in.

No money in. No contract. No catch. If you pay on time, care for your home, and stay on top of compliance events as they come up — that is your contribution. And it earns you a real annual reward.

Zero financial risk

Reward or nothing — never a loss.

You never put money in. Either the reward builds and you receive it at year's end, or it doesn't — but nothing is ever lost. Your only stake is the tenancy you're already living.

Zero financial cost

Being a good tenant is the only entry ticket.

Pay rent on time, care for the property, and stay up to date with compliance events as they arise. If you're already doing those things — and most good tenants are — there is genuinely nothing more to do or pay.

Zero doubt

Tied to public data. Visible to you.

The reward is calculated from official Land Registry data — the same numbers anyone can check. You can see exactly what's been logged, and nothing backdated can be added without your sign-off.

"I've rented for nine years and never received anything back at the end of them. With Manna, my second year finished and there was actually something there. It didn't change my life — but it changed how I feel about where I live."

Built on transparency

Nothing hidden. Everything auditable.

The reward only works if both sides trust it. Every part of the calculation is tied to public data and visible to the tenant.

Official public data only

HPI figures come from the Land Registry — verifiable by anyone, free, updated monthly. No landlord-invented numbers.

Rent must be marked received

A month's growth only counts toward the reward if rent for that month has been confirmed as received — no rent, no reward contribution.

Tenants can dispute backdating

Any visit or entry logged after the fact requires the tenant to confirm or dispute it. One-sided record-keeping is structurally prevented.

Common questions

Straight answers.

No. A falling market reduces the running reward total, but the displayed figure never goes below £0 — and nothing is ever owed back. If the year ends with no net growth, the reward for that year is simply £0. The landlord's exposure is structurally bounded at "nothing payable."

The UK House Price Index is published monthly by the Land Registry — public, free, and verifiable by anyone at gov.uk. The app uses the local authority level figure (e.g., "Manchester") rather than the postcode, since postcodes have too few transactions for a statistically reliable monthly index. Any tenant can check the same figure themselves.

Manna is structured as a goodwill reward scheme, not a contractual entitlement. Landlords should have this clearly reflected in any documentation shared with tenants — the app itself states this on the reward screen. We recommend getting any specific wording reviewed by a solicitor before your first pilot tenancy.

The reward is only calculated against months where rent was actually marked as received. If rent wasn't paid on time and wasn't marked received, that month simply doesn't contribute to the reward — automatically, no discretionary decision needed. Landlords can also adjust their own calibration settings to reflect their specific situation from the outset.

Manna is designed for good tenants — those who pay rent on time, care for the property, allow inspection visits when required, and comply with compliance checks promptly. Only months where rent is received count toward the reward, and the scheme works best when both landlord and tenant take their responsibilities to each other seriously. If that sounds like you, you're exactly who Manna is for.

No — the 12-month gate is firm, and it's there for a reason. The reward is designed to recognise a full year of committed tenancy, and that only makes sense once that year has actually happened. A tenant who leaves at month eight hasn't completed the tenancy the scheme is rewarding. This is also what gives the scheme its retention value — the reward builds as an incentive to stay, not something payable on departure.

The waitlist

Be part of what builds this.

Manna Living gets built for real when the demand is there. Every landlord and tenant who joins this list is a vote for a better way to rent. No pitch, no pressure — if enough of you say yes, the app gets built and you'll be first through the door.

No spam. No obligation. Your place on this list is what makes the app real.
