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

Why Smart Rentals

Replace the spreadsheets, notebooks and WhatsApp chasing with one rental platform

Billing, collections, tax invoicing, agreements and tenant communication, built for Kenyan landlords and property agents.

Property & Unit Management

Manage every property, unit, unit type and amenity from one place, with photos, availability and vacancy status that update as tenants move in and out.

M-Pesa, Pesapal & Bank Payments

Collect rent by M-Pesa, Airtel Money, Pesapal or bank deposit. Payments land on the right tenant ledger and receipts go out automatically.

KRA eTIMS Invoicing

Raise eTIMS-compliant invoices from the rent, water and service bills you already create, with no second system to maintain.

Digital Tenant Agreements

Share a link, let the tenant sign on their phone, then approve. Renewals, move-outs and deposits are tracked from the same record.

Water Meter Billing

Capture readings one by one or in a batch, set your own pricing and bill each tenant automatically, with usage they can check themselves.

SMS & WhatsApp Reminders

Send rent reminders, receipts and notices through Africa’s Talking, Advanta and other gateways, so tenants hear from you before rent is late.

Revenue & Occupancy Dashboard

See what was billed, what was collected and which units are vacant, for one property or the whole portfolio, in real time.

Maintenance & Move-outs

Log repair requests, follow them to completion and handle tenant notices and check-outs without losing the paper trail.
