Property management software for Kenyan landlords and agents

From bedsitters in Kasarani and Rongai to apartments in Kilimani, Westlands and Ruaka, and shops and offices in town, Kenyan rental property runs on monthly rent, a deposit, service charge and often water, paid by M-Pesa to a paybill or till. Afritelligence is built around exactly that.

Add each property and its units, let a unit to a tenant with the rent, deposit and due day, and the rent and any fixed bills such as service charge are raised every month for you. Late penalties apply only after the grace days you set.

Rent collection with M-Pesa

Record each M-Pesa, bank or cash payment with its reference and the tenant gets a receipt straight away. Payments clear the oldest amount first, and money paid in advance is carried to the next month, with the next due date on the receipt.

  • ✓Rent, service charge and fixed bills raised every month
  • ✓M-Pesa references on every payment and receipt
  • ✓Arrears list sorted by how late each tenant is
  • ✓SMS reminder before rent is due and after it is missed
  • ✓Tenant statements you can print or share on WhatsApp

For management companies and agents

Manage many properties and many units from one login, give each caretaker or agent only the access they need, and track each agent's letting commission. Landlords and directors see collections and arrears from anywhere.
