Clear. Simple. Transparent.

How Rent & Payments Work on Taartu Homes

Taartu Homes makes rent collection and subscription payments easy for landlords—without ever holding or touching your money. Here is how payments move through the platform.

1How Rent Collection Works

Your tenants pay rent directly to your M-Pesa PayBill or Till

Taartu does not hold, store, or process rent money.

When a tenant pays:

  • They receive an STK push from your PayBill/Till
  • They enter their M-Pesa PIN
  • Money goes straight to your PayBill/Till account
  • Taartu instantly updates your dashboard
No delays
No intermediaries
No holding of funds

M-Pesa Direct

Your PayBill / Till

Your rent remains 100% under your control.

2Why Direct-to-Landlord Payments Matter

Kenyan landlords prefer M-Pesa because:

It is instant

It is trusted nationwide

It keeps money in your hands

It avoids confusion with middlemen

Taartu supports this by ensuring rent always moves directly between tenant and landlord, not through Taartu.

After a tenant pays, Taartu:

  • 1
    Receives an automatic confirmation
  • 2
    Matches the payment to the correct tenant
  • 3
    Updates your dashboard with Paid / Partial / Overdue statuses
3How Taartu Confirms Tenant Payments

Real-time visibility without touching any money

We only confirm payments; we don't handle the funds. This gives you complete oversight of your rental income.

4How Subscription Payments Work (For Landlords)

Your Taartu subscription is separate from rent collection

You can pay using:
