The full rental operation
One operating system for rent, records and follow-up.
Rentivia joins collection, accounting, communication and property operations so your team works from the same record.
Automatic reconciliation
Trusted payment confirmations match real transactions to invoices. A payment is never marked paid simply because a prompt was sent.
Automated invoicing
Generate rent, water, service and garbage invoices in one controlled monthly run, with a preview before posting.
Tenant self-service
Give every tenant a mobile portal for balances, invoices, receipts, rent payment, notices, maintenance and move-out requests.
Arrears and reminders
See aging buckets immediately, send measured follow-ups and apply configurable penalties with recorded waivers.
SMS and email notices
Send receipts, reminders and property notices from reusable templates, with delivery status and a prepaid SMS wallet.
Reports and MRI/KRA
Prepare owner statements, rent rolls, arrears aging, cash flow and MRI-ready summaries on every paid plan, while keeping tax review with the landlord.
Maintenance operations
Receive tenant issues, assign caretakers, monitor service times and connect approved costs to expenses or deposits.
Rentivia AI
Ask questions against live portfolio data, draft reminders, review anomalies and prepare reports while keeping approval with your team.
Audit and security
Workspace isolation, role-based access and an append-only audit trail protect sensitive operations and explain every change.
02
A better tenant experience
Give tenants a clear way to pay, confirm and request help.
The tenant portal reduces routine follow-up while keeping the landlord, property manager and caretaker in control of the tenancy record.

- M-PESA prompt with Paybill or Till fallback
- Maintenance, notices and move-out requests
- Downloadable statements and payment history
Practical onboarding
From spreadsheet to live in three controlled steps.
Import what you already have, verify payment setup and start collecting with a clean opening record.
01
Add your properties
Import tenants and units from our Excel templates or add them directly. Set rent, deposit, water and service charges per property.
02
Connect M-PESA
Use the guided setup to connect your Paybill or Till and run a test STK before collecting live rent.
03
Invoice and collect
Generate invoices, send payment prompts and reminders, and issue receipts only after payments are confirmed.
Loved by landlords
Three property teams. Cleaner month-ends.
The strongest proof is not another feature list. It is the operational clarity teams get when collections, records and follow-up live in one place.
“My phone used to be full of 'nimelipa, confirm' messages. Now tenants check their own balance and pull their own receipts.”
“As a tenant, I like being able to see exactly what I owe and pay in two taps. There is no more guessing or waiting for a caretaker to confirm, and my receipt arrives instantly by email.”
“The MRI summary is the feature I did not know I needed. My accountant stopped asking me to rebuild the month in spreadsheets.”

Bounties release after the referred customer's first successful payment; milestones count customers after their second. Verification and program terms apply.Money-grade by design
A payment record should be explainable from prompt to receipt.
Rentivia separates software status from actual money movement, keeps approval visible and records sensitive actions.
M-PESA first
Tenants authorise on M-PESA while confirmed rent settles to the configured property bank account.
Verified records
Receipts and invoice status follow confirmation, not assumption.
No rent custody
Rentivia never receives or holds tenant rent.
Clear software fees
Subscriptions are separate from rent and SMS uses a prepaid wallet.
Frequently asked
Straight answers before you book a demo.
The important commercial and payment questions, answered plainly.
Does Rentivia collect rent through M-PESA?
Yes. Rentivia can send an M-PESA prompt through the collection route configured for the property. The tenant authorises payment on their phone, and confirmed rent settles directly to the landlord's or property's configured bank account. Rentivia never holds the funds.
Does tenant rent go into Rentivia's account?
No. Tenant rent settles directly to the bank account or settlement destination configured for the landlord or property. Rentivia invoices the customer separately for the VAT-inclusive software subscription and any optional prepaid SMS or AI usage.
How much does Rentivia cost?
Lite is KES 1,500 per month, Starter is KES 3,000 per month, Growth is KES 6,000 per month, Business is KES 9,000 per month, and Enterprise is custom. Prices include VAT. Subscriptions are billed monthly; included SMS is metered by plan and additional usage is billed through the SMS wallet.
Can tenants pay and see statements online?
Yes. Every tenant receives a secure mobile portal for balances, invoices, receipts, water bills, notices, M-PESA rent payment, maintenance and move-out requests.
What happens when the included SMS allowance runs out?
SMS is measured by message segment, not only by the number of recipients. When the plan allowance is used, additional messages are sent from a prepaid SMS wallet. Rentivia does not create an open-ended postpaid SMS bill without the customer's approval.
What happens if my portfolio grows beyond the plan limit?
Rentivia will help you move to the right capacity or agree a documented custom arrangement before the limit changes. The public plans do not apply an automatic per-unit overage charge.
Can I import my existing tenants?
Yes. Rentivia provides Excel templates for tenants, units, meter readings and opening balances. Every row is validated before anything is created.
How is my data protected?
Rentivia uses workspace isolation, role-based access, HTTPS, encrypted backups, rate limits and audit logging. M-PESA Daraja secrets remain on the server and never reach the browser.
