Rental property management software for landlords in Kenya

You know what the rent should be. Do you know what arrived?

Four units or four hundred, the problem is the same shape: charges that should have been raised, money that came in against them, and the gap between the two. Most people run it on a spreadsheet and a bank statement, and reconcile once a year under duress.

Rent arrears tracking

The gap, aged, without you building it

Arrears aren't a list somebody maintains. They're what's left when you subtract everything paid from everything charged — so they can't drift out of step with the money.

Which is what makes the thirty-day column worth acting on. That's the difference between chasing rent and guessing at it.

What you get

Enough structure to stop it being a spreadsheet

Charges raised without you

Rent, service charge and water are defined once against the lease and raised on the day they fall due. Nothing depends on you remembering the first of the month.

M-Pesa that clears something

A transfer isn't just a credit — it clears named charges, in order, and tells you what's left. Part payments are ordinary, not a problem.

Your rental income figure, ready

Rent billed and rent collected per property per period, with deductions where they apply — the inputs a monthly rental income return is built from, without a reconstruction exercise.

Costs in the right period

Repairs and supplier invoices recorded when incurred and again when paid, categorised, per property. Your accountant gets inputs, not a shoebox.

Tenants who can check themselves

Each tenant can open their own charges, payments and balance. Most arrears arguments end the moment both sides read the same record.

Corrections that leave a trace

Wrong figures get reversed, not overwritten. In a year, when it matters, you can still see what happened and when.

If someone already manages for you

Then this isn't something you buy

If an agent collects your rent, they hold the book. What you should expect from them is a login that shows your own statement whenever you want it — and if they can't offer one, that's worth knowing.

Ask your agent for
·Two consecutive monthly statements—
·Arrears aged, per unit—
·Every deduction, with a date on it—

Check that the two statements join: March's closing must be April's opening. If they don't, the account isn't being kept. Full checklist →

Worth worrying about
·Figures that change between statements—
·Round numbers with no source—
·“I'll work it out and call you back”—

None of these mean anyone is dishonest. Usually they mean the book is a spreadsheet.
