For landlords and property managers in Kenya
Your rental building, run from your phone.
Kaya Yetu keeps tenants, rent, water bills and repairs in one app. Tenants pay by M-Pesa from their own app — and you see every payment the moment it lands.
Landlords manage homes with Kaya Yetu in
Everything you do as a landlord, in one place
No more notebook, no more screenshots, no more “I sent it yesterday”.
Rent and bills: M-Pesa, WhatsApp or bank
Rent, water and service charge on one bill. Tenants pay in full or in parts — by M-Pesa in the app, on WhatsApp or by bank — and every payment lands on the right unit and month.
Tenants, units and leases
Every property, unit, lease and balance in one place. Add a tenant and give them a unit in a minute.
Maintenance with your staff
Tenants report a problem with a photo. You assign it to your caretaker or fundi, who sees it as a task in the app and marks it done.
A dashboard for every tenant
Tenants see what they owe and when it is due, pay with one tap, report repairs, read notices and let visitors in — from their own app.
Expenses and reports
Log repairs and running costs. See collection rate, net revenue and what is still owed — monthly, quarterly or yearly.
Move-outs and deposits
Settle the deposit and send an exit statement with every deduction written down.
Visitors at the gate
The guard registers a visitor; the tenant gets a notification to let them in or turn them away. Guards keep a shift log too.
Notices and chat
Send a notice to a whole building, or message one tenant. Everything stays in the app, not in WhatsApp groups.
Ask Kaya
Built-in help that answers “how do I…?” questions without a phone call.

For your tenants
Every tenant gets their own dashboard
The free tenant app opens on My Dashboard: what they owe this month, what they have paid, when it is due — and a PAY NOW button that sends the M-Pesa prompt to their phone.
- Rent, water and service charge broken down line by line
- Maintenance requests and lease days left at a glance
- Notices, utilities and visitors one tap away
Tenants pay the way that suits them
In full or a bit at a time — tenants can pay any amount whenever they have it. Every payment lands on the right unit and month, the balance updates straight away, and they get a receipt each time.
M-Pesa in the app
On My Dashboard, tenants tap PAY NOW, type any amount — all of it or just part — and approve the M-Pesa prompt that pops up on their phone.
On WhatsApp
Tenants can also pay by M-Pesa on WhatsApp — in full or in part — and get messages about their rent there.
By bank
Bank transfers and deposits — full or part — are recorded against the right unit and month, so every payment is on one statement.
Repairs
Every repair has a fundi, a date and a cost
A tenant reports a leaking tap with a photo. You assign a fundi. Everyone sees when it's fixed — and the cost goes on the ledger, not on a scrap of paper.
What landlords tell us
The first of the month used to be my worst day. Now I open the app on the 6th and see who is left.
My tenants pay from their phones and I get the receipt at the same time. No more screenshots.
I manage for three owners. Each one gets a statement they can read without calling me.
Pay for tenants, not for units
One simple price: KES 125 for each tenant, every month — and your first 30 days are free. Empty units cost nothing, and the tenant app is free for tenants.
