Property management in Mombasa, Kenya
Mombasa landlords juggle long-term residential tenants, short-stay coastal units and the seasonality that comes with both. Taartu separates the books so you know exactly what each unit is earning, in KES, with a clean tax trail.
What Mombasa landlords ask us about
Coastal landlords are some of the most demanding on bookkeeping because of the mix of short and long-term lets. Taartu's KRA-ready reports include withholding-tax summaries that match what your accountant needs.
Mixed short-stay and residential income
Run an Airbnb-style unit and a six-month lease from the same dashboard. Each rent charge and payment is tagged correctly for KRA.
Distance from the property
Many Mombasa landlords live in Nairobi or abroad. Caretakers and managers can be assigned with the right permissions; every action they take is logged.
Seasonal vacancies
Track vacancy by unit and by month. The internal discovery feature surfaces vacant units to verified tenants without you advertising them publicly.
