For Agents & Landlords
Run your whole portfolio, one landlord at a time
Built for property agents and landlords who manage many properties and many owners. Bill, collect, report and onboard tenants without mixing up whose money is whose.
Every landlord, one login
Switch between the landlords you manage in a click. Properties, tenants, bills and payments always belong to the landlord you are working for.
Management agreements
Agree terms with each landlord, get them approved, and control exactly which properties and actions your staff can access.
Bill on behalf of landlords
Raise, approve and send rent, water and service invoices for any landlord you manage, with their own approval workflow.
Collect and receipt rent
Record payments or send an M-Pesa prompt to the tenant, then issue receipts, all under the right landlord.
Commissions that add up
Track your management commission per landlord and property, with no spreadsheets and no month-end disputes.
Landlord statements
Give each landlord a clear statement of what was billed, collected and owed, ready to print or share.
Staff access control
Give each team member only the properties and permissions they need: billing, payments, maintenance or view-only.
Maintenance and move-outs
Follow requests, vendors and tenant move-out notices across every property in your portfolio.
Tenant onboarding in minutes
Send a link. The tenant signs. The agreement activates.
Stop chasing tenants with paper agreements. Share one secure link and let them review and sign on their own phone, then approve it and start billing.
