Everything you need to run property operations — in one place.
Collections, billing, tenant experience, maintenance, reporting, and compliance. No more spreadsheets, no more chaos — one integrated system that scales with you.
Collect rent without chasing anyone.
In Kenya, M-Pesa STK Push means your tenant gets a pop-up on their phone, enters their PIN, and the payment lands in your account — auto-reconciled to their name. Where PesaPal operates, tenants pay by card or mobile money. Everywhere else, you record payments and every invoice stays up to date.
-
M-Pesa STK Push (Kenya) The tenant gets a pop-up with the exact amount, with no Paybill or account number to type. Paybill and Till payments are matched automatically too.
-
Auto-Reconciliation Online payments (M-Pesa, Pesapal) match to the tenant's invoice automatically. Payments made outside the system take a few seconds to record.
-
Cards & Mobile Money (PesaPal) Card and mobile money payments in the countries where PesaPal operates. The money goes to your own Pesapal account, never to HomeManager.
-
Smart Allocation Overpayments carry forward. Partial payments tracked. Advance payments auto-applied.
-
Multi-Period Payments Tenants can pay 1, 3, or 6 months at once — system allocates correctly.
-
Instant Receipts Email receipt the moment a payment is confirmed or recorded (SMS too, with prepaid credits). Tenant has proof immediately.
Invoices generated, sent, and tracked — automatically.
Monthly rent invoices include rent, utilities, late fees, and any custom charges. Generated automatically on your schedule, delivered by email (and by SMS with prepaid credits), and tracked until paid.
-
Auto-Generation Invoices created monthly on your set date. No manual work.
-
Consolidated Billing Rent + water + garbage + electricity + CAM on one invoice per tenant.

-
Multi-Currency Support 48 invoice currencies. Each country defaults to its own currency (KES, UGX, TZS, NGN, GHS, ZAR and more), and any lease can be priced in another.
Tenants help themselves. You get fewer calls.
Every tenant gets a web portal — no app download required. They see their balance, pay rent, view history, report issues, and download statements. You stop being a human helpdesk.
-
Access via Code The tenant gets a one-time access code by email or SMS (SMS uses prepaid credits). No app to install.
