Rent that collects itself — M-Pesa native, receipt instant

Invoices go out on your billing day. Tenants pay with an M-Pesa STK push or your Paybill. Payments match themselves to the right lease, receipts send instantly, and arrears surface by themselves.

How it works

From zero to running

  1. 1

    Invoices generate themselves

    On each lease’s billing day, RentPlus raises the invoice — rent, utilities, service charges — and delivers it by SMS, email and the tenant app.

  2. 2

    The tenant taps Pay

    An M-Pesa STK push lands on their phone with the exact amount. They enter their PIN and they’re done. Paybill payments work too, for tenants who prefer it.

  3. 3

    RentPlus reconciles

    The payment is matched to the right tenant, unit and invoice automatically — including partial payments and overpayments, allocated oldest-first.

  4. 4

    Receipts and books update

    A receipt goes out instantly, the ledger updates, the rent roll moves — and you did nothing.

Late fees by rule, not by argument

Set your grace period and late-fee policy once. When an invoice runs past it, the fee is applied consistently, on schedule, to everyone — which is exactly what makes it defensible.

  • Configurable grace periods and fee rules
  • Applied automatically on Nairobi time, every night
  • Visible on the invoice and the statement — no surprises

VAT that matches Kenyan law

Residential rent is VAT-exempt; commercial rent and many service charges are not. RentPlus tracks the tax treatment per charge — exempt, zero-rated or standard 16% — and captures the rate at the time of the charge, because rates change.

  • Per-charge VAT treatment: exempt, zero-rated, standard
  • Rates captured per charge, so history never rewrites itself
  • Credit notes and voids that keep the audit trail intact

Questions

Common questions

Does RentPlus support M-Pesa?
Yes — M-Pesa is the primary payment rail. Tenants pay with an STK push straight from the RentPlus app, or through your Paybill, and every payment reconciles to the right tenant, unit and invoice automatically.
What happens when a tenant pays part of their rent?
Partial payments are recorded against the invoice and allocated oldest-first. The remaining balance stays visible on the invoice, the statement and the tenant’s app, and arrears reports update immediately.
Does RentPlus take a percentage of collected rent?
No. RentPlus charges a flat per-unit subscription. Rent flows through your own M-Pesa Paybill — we never sit in the middle of your money.
