Mombasa is Kenya's second-largest city and a significant rental market, particularly in coastal areas and near the port. Landlords in Mombasa face similar challenges to those in Nairobi — M-Pesa is the dominant payment method, and most rental management happens over WhatsApp with manual record-keeping.
Coastal rental properties in Mombasa often have a mix of long-term residential tenants and short-stay arrangements. For landlords managing residential units in Nyali, Bamburi, Kisauni, Likoni, and Changamwe, the challenge is keeping accurate records across multiple properties and payment schedules.
KodiBase helps Mombasa landlords bring structure to their rent collection without changing how tenants pay. Tenants continue paying via M-Pesa as usual — the difference is that each payment gets submitted through a portal, confirmed by the landlord, and recorded in a ledger that does not need to be rebuilt every month.
The automated reminder feature (available on Pro and Max plans) is particularly useful for Mombasa landlords managing tenants across multiple buildings — KodiBase sends rent reminders before, on, and after the due date automatically, reducing manual follow-up.
