Record what you let and what it costs, once. After that the system knows what every tenant owes, receipts every shilling that comes in, shows you what the empty rooms are costing, and puts those rooms in front of people looking to move.
Every payment gets a receipt the same day, on the tenant's phone, and it stays there. So does yours. The argument ends before it starts.
Expected rent for any period, worked out from your own units and rents, set against what was banked. Arrears by tenant, not by guesswork.
The inventory knows. So does your listing, the moment the caretaker marks a room vacant — no second list to keep in step.
Rental income and allowable expenses come off the same ledger the receipts came from, so the figure you file is the figure you can show.
The caretaker can do most of it from the yard on a phone. Nothing here needs a computer or an accountant.
How many single rooms, self-contained, flats or bungalows, and what one of each goes for.
Name, number, which unit. They sign in with that number and see their own balance.
Your MoMo, Airtel, bank or a card gateway. Cash still works — the office records it.
Photographs, a paragraph, a phone number. It fills its own vacancy counts from then on.
Every tenant with an account may write one review a year of the place they rent. You get one public reply to each. You cannot edit them, hide them individually, or delete them.
That rule is not there to be awkward. A rating a landlord can curate is worth nothing to a renter, and a renter who learns that will not believe the vacancy counts either. The reviews are what make the rest of the listing credible.
You can turn reviews off for your listing entirely — all of them, not the bad ones. Renters read a listing with no reviews as a new one, which is the honest reading.
A calm reply to a three-star review persuades a renter more than five stars with nothing written under them.
The rent book, the receipts and the reports do not depend on any of this. These only decide how prominent your advert is.
