Inviting tenants
Tenants can be added one at a time or imported in bulk. Each one gets an SMS with their unit, balance and payment details.
Add a tenant to a unit
Open the unit and choose Assign tenant. You need a name and a phone number; email is optional but recommended for receipts.
- 1
Open Properties, then the unit you want to fill.
- 2
Click Assign tenant and enter their details.
- 3
Set the lease start date and deposit held.
- 4
Save — the tenant gets a welcome SMS immediately.
Import a spreadsheet
If you already track tenants in Excel, download our template, paste your columns in, and upload. RentPoa matches unit numbers and flags anything it can't place.
Phone numbers can be in any common format — 0712…, +254712… or 254712… all work.
What tenants see
Tenants receive statements by SMS and email. They don't need an app or a login to pay; the paybill and account number are in every message.
