How it works

From spreadsheet to system in four steps

No migration project and no training. Add your properties and tenants, and you can bill the same day.

01

Add your properties & tenants

Register each rental unit and who lives there. Attach tenant documents and water meters as you go.

  • Add each property and tenant from a short form
  • Attach tenant documents like ID proof and agreements
  • Record each rent agreement's renewal date and yearly increase
  • Set up water meters per unit, if you bill for water
02

Generate bills, collect payments

Issue rent and water bills in a click. Record payments as they come in and print receipts instantly.

  • One click to generate the month's rent bills
  • Log full or partial payments against any bill
  • Print or download receipts from editable templates
03

Track dues & let reminders do the chasing

Overdue and due-soon bills surface automatically, and reminders go out on the schedule you set. Reports show income and dues at a glance.

  • Automatic overdue and due-soon flags, no manual review
  • Reminders before, on, or after each due date, sent once
  • Renewal and yearly rent increase prompts, with one-click apply
  • Income and dues for any date range, on the Insights and Reports pages
04

Bring on your team, stay in control

Invite staff with role-based permissions as your portfolio grows. Every action stays scoped to your account.

  • Role-based permissions for staff and managers
  • A full audit log of every change made in your account
  • Your data stays isolated from every other landlord

A month with SetURent

What a normal month looks like

Once your tenants are in, most of the month runs itself. This is the rhythm.

  1. Start of the month

    Bills appear

    A rent bill is created for every active tenant, automatically or with one click on Generate This Month. Each falls due on the tenant's rent due day, or the 5th if none is set.

  2. Before the due date

    Reminders go out

    Your rules run on their own, for example 3 days before rent is due, through your WhatsApp or SMS gateway. Each reminder is sent once, inside the send window you chose.

  3. As money arrives

    Record it, print the receipt

    Log each payment as cash or online, in full or in part. The bill moves from pending to partial to paid, and a receipt prints from your own template.

  4. After the due date

    Late rent surfaces

    Rent Dues lists everything overdue or due in the next 7 days, with the days late beside each tenant. A follow-up rule can remind them again.

  5. Ahead of the calendar

    Renewals and increases

    Agreements ending within 30 days are flagged on the Tenants list, and reminders can go out 60, 30, and 7 days before. When an increase is due, apply it in one click.

  6. End of the month

    Check the numbers

    Insights and Reports show what was billed, collected, and is still pending. The audit log shows every change made along the way.

Your first session

Set up in one sitting

Gather a few details, then work down the list. Nothing here needs a developer or a migration.

Have these ready

  • Each property's name and monthly rent, and whether it is a shop or a house
  • Each tenant's name, phone number, and move-in date
  • Rent due days, security deposits, and agreement end dates
  • Yearly increase percentages, if your agreements have them
  • Scans or photos of IDs and agreements you want to keep with each tenant
  • If you use them: your WhatsApp or SMS gateway details, and your water meters and rate

Then, in this order

  1. 1

    Add your properties

    Properties, one entry per shop or house.

  2. 2

    Add your tenants

    Tenants, with rent start, due day, deposit, and agreement dates.

  3. 3

    Upload their documents

    From each tenant's Documents dialog.

  4. 4

    Generate this month's bills

    Rent Bills, then Generate This Month.

  5. 5

    Record payments already received

    Payments, then Record Payment.

  6. 6

    Turn on reminders

    Settings, then Notifications: add a channel, send a test, add a rule.
