\"Cashless<\/a><\/p>\n

Cashless rent collection in Kenya<\/span><\/strong><\/a> is no longer a forward-looking idea. It is the dominant reality of the rental market, and the landlords who have not adapted are already paying for it in lost hours, unresolved disputes and avoidable arrears. Over 90% of rent payments in urban Kenya flow through M-Pesa, with industry surveys consistently showing that 80\u201390% of residential rent is paid via mobile money. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics found that just 47.2 percent of real estate agents in Kenya use rent collection software, which means the majority of landlords are still reconciling digital payments with analogue methods. <\/span>Cashless rent collection in Kenya<\/span><\/strong><\/a> is therefore not about introducing a new payment method. It is about closing the gap between how tenants pay and how landlords record what was paid.<\/span><\/p>\n
