    One of the most common hesitations landlords have about switching software is assuming it'll take days to set up properly. In practice, getting your account ready to manage real tenants takes a few focused minutes.

    Step 1: Sign up

    Start your free 1-month trial with your company name, your name, email, and phone number. No card required.

    Step 2: Add your properties and units

    Create each property, then add its units with rent amounts and basic details. If you're migrating from a spreadsheet, this is the one step worth doing carefully - everything else builds on it.

    Step 3: Add your tenants and leases

    Link each tenant to their unit and lease terms. This is what powers automated invoicing from this point forward.

    Step 4: Connect M-Pesa

    Once connected, tenant payments start reconciling automatically against the correct invoice - no manual matching needed.

    Step 5: Let automation take over

    From here, monthly invoices generate on schedule, reminders go out automatically, and your dashboard starts reflecting real, live data - not a spreadsheet from three weeks ago.

    Most landlords spend more time deciding to switch than actually switching. The setup itself is the easy part.
