How to Digitize Your Rental Business in Kenya

A practical roadmap to automate collections, cut admin, and improve tenant experience.

Going digital cuts late payments, reduces admin time, and creates a better tenant experience. Here’s a practical path to modernize your rental workflow.

1) Centralize Your Units & Tenants

Import unit details and tenant contacts. This becomes the single source of truth for billing, arrears, and communication.

2) Automate Collections (M-Pesa, Paystack, Flutterwave)

Enable mobile money and card payments with automated reminders, receipts, and reconciliation.

3) Self-Service Tenant Portal

Give tenants access to statements, receipts, and maintenance requests to reduce back-and-forth.

4) Reporting & Compliance

Use dashboards for cashflow, arrears aging, and occupancy. Export for audits and tax filing.

Bottom line: Faster collections, fewer manual tasks, happier tenants.
