M-Pesa Rent Collection System Kenya

M-Pesa Rent Collection System Kenya

RentalDesk gives Kenyan landlords, caretakers, house managers, and property agencies a clearer way to manage rent paid through M-Pesa. Instead of checking phones, notebooks, Excel sheets, and WhatsApp messages separately, teams can review rent status from one dashboard.

The goal is simple: know who has paid, who is partly paid, who is in arrears, and which payments still need reconciliation.

How M-Pesa Rent Collection Works

1. Tenant pays rent through Paybill, Till, or STK Push.
2. RentalDesk captures the payment or your team records a manual payment.
3. The payment is matched to the correct tenant and unit.
4. Partial payments reduce the balance, and overpayments are visible for review.
5. Rent balance and arrears status are updated automatically.
6. Tenant receives receipt.
7. Landlord sees paid, part-paid, unpaid, and overdue tenants.
8. Unmatched, unclear, or duplicate payments are reviewed in the reconciliation queue.
