Property Management System
Quick answer
What is the Property Management System?
Landlords and property managers in Kenya often track rent, tenants, and maintenance requests across notebooks, spreadsheets, and phone calls — making arrears hard to catch early. Zinen Technologies builds property management software that tracks units, tenants, rent collection, and maintenance requests in one platform.
Built for landlords with a handful of units and property managers running multiple buildings, the system gives a clear view of who has paid, who is in arrears, and what maintenance is pending.
Kenya-ready solution
