For landlords and apartment owners
No agency needed.
Your building, on autopilot.
Most apartments in Kenya are run by the owner and a caretaker, not an agency. PamojaHomes is built for exactly that: collect rent, split water, handle repairs and file KRA tax yourself, from your phone. Bring in an agent only if and when you want one.
Most popularI manage it myselfYou stay in charge. We automate the boring parts.
Me and my caretakerYour caretaker runs the gate and meters. You approve money.
With an agentA licensed agent with limits you set. Rent still comes to you.
Full agencyHand it all over. Watch everything from your dashboard.
Things your current rent app
can't do.
Built around how rent actually gets paid in Kenya: wrong account numbers, part payments, family phones, caretakers, co-owners and owners abroad.
M-PESA matching that understands real life
Wrong account number, paid from mum's phone, paid in three parts, paid to the till instead of the paybill. Hermes still matches it to the right tenant and unit, and learns for next time.

Water bills from a photo
