Property management in Nairobi, Kenya
From a single bedsitter in Kasarani to a 40-unit block in Westlands, Nairobi landlords run their portfolios across the most competitive rental market in East Africa. Taartu keeps the receipts, the reminders and the KRA reports in one place, so you can spend less time in traffic chasing rent.
What Nairobi landlords ask us about
Nairobi rentals have the highest turnover and the most diverse tenant mix in Kenya. Taartu's tenant invite flow, two-way ratings and KRA-ready reports were built first for Nairobi landlords and stress-tested here.
Tenants pay piecemeal across the month
Nairobi tenants often top up rent in 2-3 payments. Taartu auto-reconciles every M-Pesa receipt against the right lease, so you can see who has paid in full by the 5th and who still owes.
Caretakers report on WhatsApp
Maintenance tickets get lost in a busy WhatsApp group. Caretakers can update tickets via USSD or app, with photos attached, and you see everything from one dashboard.
Diaspora landlords need oversight
If you're managing a Lavington flat from Dubai, you need a calm dashboard and an audit log, not a phone call at 3am. Taartu's roles let your local manager handle day-to-day while you keep visibility.
