The compliance OS
for African property
management.
Sec.35-aware. eRITS-ready. Multi-tenant from day one. Built so the 50+ Kenyan PM firms managing diaspora-owned doors stop reconciling rent in Excel and start surviving the next KRA audit.
Used by agencies in Westlands, Nairobi · Read-only on money — your existing M-Pesa Paybill never changes hands · 30-minute setup
KRA launched eRITS
Connects landlords and property managers/agents directly to KRA's compliance rail. EY tax alert
WHT under Sec.35(1)(c)
When the agent signs the lease for a non-resident landlord, the agent — not the tenant — is the statutory withholding agent. KRA
Finance Bill
Sharpens enforcement on foreign-landlord rent. The agent wears the audit risk. Kenyans.co.ke
The problem
Your agency has 200 doors, eight non-resident landlords, and an Excel sheet that won't survive an audit.
Every month, your team reconciles M-Pesa Paybill messages against tenant ledgers, computes withholding for diaspora landlords by hand, and emails owner statements that bounce because formatting broke in Excel. KRA just digitised the whole pipeline. You haven't.
M-Pesa reconciliation hell
Spending days matching M-Pesa transaction messages to specific tenants across multiple landlords' Paybills. Industry-acknowledged pain — see PMS.co.ke, Kayapro360, Nyumba Zetu marketing.
Sec.35(1)(c) audit risk
30% WHT on every non-resident landlord's rent. The AGENT is the statutory withholding agent — not the tenant. Andersen Kenya, CM Advocates, RSM Kenya all confirm.
Owner-statement chaos at scale
200 doors × 30 landlords × monthly statements = a part-time job for someone in your office. Errors propagate; trust erodes.
Caretaker accountability gap
On-the-ground vendors and caretakers report verbally. No photo trail, no GPS, no chain of custody on petty cash. Bomahut's own blog enumerates the fraud patterns.

The solution
Three things every other Kenyan PM tool gets wrong.
Bomahut, Kodi, Nyumba Zetu, Sapama, Kayapro360 — every existing KE option is built landlord-first. None are agency-native and Sec.35-aware. The empty quadrant is the wedge.
Compliance layer
Sec.35(1)(c) WHT-NRL CSV per landlord, per property, per currency. Pre-filled with the agency's KRA PIN. iTax MRI export. Env-configurable for the FB 2026 rate change. eRITS API integration is the next module.
Owner-statement OS
Multi-tenant ledger built day one — one agency, hundreds of landlords, thousands of properties. Stripe-style amend / void / re-issue. Magic-link portals so each owner sees their own roll-up without you emailing PDFs.
Agency-native rails
Per-landlord M-Pesa Paybill auto-match. Caretaker WhatsApp Flows with photo + GPS. Multi-currency owner statements & payout instructions (KES / USD / GBP / EUR). Read-only on money — your existing rails never change hands.

Africa-mirrors of public US SaaS categories have been the venture playbook for a decade — Flutterwave (Stripe), Andela (Toptal), Twiga (Sysco). B2B property-management SaaS is the next one. Tenantree is built for it.
