IPEN Property Management

Run every property from one place.

Collect rent over M-Pesa, run leases and maintenance, and pay owners — with your whole team on one system built for Kenyan rental portfolios.

Management dashboard in light mode

Everything in the box

Eleven modules. One ledger underneath.

Every invoice, payment, fee, payout and tax entry posts to a double-entry ledger, so the numbers on every screen always agree.

01

Properties & units

Apartments, standalone homes, commercial space and land, from bedsitters to warehouses, in one register.

  • Shared ownership with per-owner splits
  • Management agreements with your fee terms
  • Water, electricity and gas meters per unit
  • Unit photos and live occupancy
02

Listings, screening & leases

Publish vacancies to the IPEN marketplace, screen applicants and sign them onto a lease without the paperwork chase.

  • Applications with income, references and ID documents
  • Automatic rent-to-income ratio and KYC checks
  • Rent escalation built into the lease
  • Move-in and move-out inspections with photos
03

Billing & utilities

Monthly invoice runs that get prorations, VAT, utilities and penalties right, so you are not fixing spreadsheets on the 5th.

  • Tiered water and power rate bands, plus prepaid tokens
  • Automatic late penalties and SMS rent reminders
  • Credit notes and tenant statements
  • Receipts allocated to the oldest invoice first
04

M-Pesa collections

Tenants pay with an STK push or straight to your paybill. Payments that quote the lease code match themselves.

  • M-Pesa STK push and C2B paybill
  • Your own paybill and credentials, encrypted per organisation
  • Unmatched payments wait in a suspense queue, not a notebook
  • Bank transfer support; Airtel Money and cards on the way
05

Accounting & owner statements

A proper double-entry ledger underneath every shilling, with statements owners can actually read.

  • Chart of accounts per organisation
  • Management fees and agent commissions calculated automatically
  • Monthly owner statements by email
  • Trial balance and journals for your accountant
06

Owner payouts

Pay owners on schedule with two-person approval, then reconcile every settlement against the statement.

  • Maker-checker approval on every payout run
  • Pay out via M-Pesa or bank batch
  • Settlement reconciliation with exception handling
  • Owners see statements and payouts in their own portal
07

KRA rental income tax

Monthly Rental Income tax at 7.5% worked out per owner and ready before the 20th.

  • MRI computed from actual collections
  • Record the iTax PRN and pay to KRA paybill
  • Optional withholding on behalf of owners
  • Annual land rates and ground rent split by share
08

Maintenance & vendors

Tenants report faults from their phone; your team triages them on a drag-and-drop work board.

  • Assign jobs to caretakers or vendors (fundis)
  • Approve costs and charge owner, tenant or organisation
  • Vendor payouts drafted automatically
  • Full activity trail on every request
09

Insurance marketplace

Offer tenant, owner and building cover from partner insurers, billed straight onto the lease.

  • Quotes from partner insurers
  • Premiums added to rent invoices
  • Automatic renewals
  • Claims tracked in one place
10

Your whole team, the right access

Roles for every person who touches a property, and one account that can work across several organisations.

  • Admins, property managers, caretakers, letting agents and accountants
  • Owner and vendor portals
  • Invitations by SMS or email
  • Audit trail of who did what
11

Insights dashboard

Know where the portfolio stands every morning, without building a report.

  • Collections trend and daily takings
  • Arrears ageing and payment-channel mix
  • Occupancy by property
  • Upcoming lease expiries

Roles & portals

Everyone gets their own view.

One account can belong to several organisations — handy for owners with more than one manager, or caretakers covering several buildings.

  • Org admin
  • Property manager
  • Caretaker
  • Letting agent
  • Accountant
  • Owner
  • Vendor
  • Tenant
