Kenya's rental market is dominated by independent landlords managing small to medium portfolios — mostly residential units in urban and peri-urban areas. Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, and dozens of other towns have active rental markets where M-Pesa is the primary payment method.
Most property management software in the world is built for Western markets — annual contracts, bank transfers, credit checks, and property agents as intermediaries. None of that reflects how rentals work in Kenya.
In Kenya, rent is often paid monthly (sometimes in two instalments), directly via M-Pesa, with the landlord as the sole manager. Tenants and landlords communicate on WhatsApp. Maintenance requests arrive as messages. Records are kept in notebooks or spreadsheets.
KodiBase is built for this reality. It is the only property management platform designed around direct M-Pesa payments, Kenyan rental workflows, and independent landlords who manage their own properties without agents.
Plans are priced in KES — Starter at KES 2,500/month, Pro at KES 5,000/month, and Max at KES 9,000/month — and can be paid via M-Pesa or card.
