What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a rental agency
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. 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.
