What eTIMS Billing Software does for a rental agency
eTIMS billing files a compliant tax invoice with KRA on every sale, with no manual entry. For a rental agency, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A rental agency tracks available properties, tenant applications, active leases and rent payment status. Rental agency margins come from finder fees or commission on rents, typically 10-20%.
Landlords and tenants need clear rental agreements and compliant rent receipts. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
