Questions
Good to know.
Do tenants need to install an app?
No. The tenant portal works in any phone browser and tenants sign in with a one-time SMS code. An Android app is on the way for those who prefer one.
Can rent go straight into my own paybill?
Yes. Each organisation connects its own M-Pesa paybill and credentials, stored encrypted. Money goes to you, not through us.
How do payments get matched to tenants?
STK push payments are linked to the invoice automatically. Paybill payments that quote the lease code as the account number match themselves; anything else lands in a suspense queue for one-click allocation.
Does it handle KRA Monthly Rental Income tax?
Yes. MRI at 7.5% is computed per owner from actual collections, and you can record the iTax PRN and pay to the KRA paybill from the same screen.
Can I move my existing tenants and balances over?
Yes. During onboarding we help you bring in properties, units, tenants, leases and opening balances so you start on day one with the right arrears.
Is my data safe?
Each organisation’s data is isolated, payment credentials are encrypted, payouts need two-person approval and every action is recorded in an audit log.
