Tenants pay by M-Pesa or card and get a receipt straight away. Landlords see who has paid, handle repairs and keep every lease in one place, with no spreadsheet.
These are live listings. Open one to see photos, the full price breakdown and, where the landlord has added one, a 3D tour.
Browse without an account. Filter by type and price, then open any listing for photos and the full cost breakdown.
Create an account and apply. The landlord's team reviews your application and you see the decision on your dashboard.
Pay rent by M-Pesa or card, report repairs and message your landlord. Every payment gets a receipt.
Tenants pay from their phone. The ledger updates as soon as Paystack confirms the payment.
Save a card once and rent is charged each month. Switch it off whenever you like.
IDs and proof of ownership are checked before a listing goes live, and verified listings carry a badge.
Every payment produces a receipt you can print or save as a PDF. Landlords can send an invoice that tenants pay online.
Tenants log a problem. Maintenance moves it from open to resolved, and everyone can see where it stands.
Walk through a unit on your phone before you travel to see it.
Billing, maintenance and security conversations stay with the tenancy instead of getting lost in group chats.
Timed leases end on their date. If a landlord gives notice, the tenant sees it on their dashboard.
No. The rent you pay is the rent in the listing. Your card issuer or mobile-money provider may charge their own fees. Ivy's fee comes from the landlord's side, and the exact schedule is in the Terms of Use.
By M-Pesa or card, through Paystack. You get a receipt as soon as the payment is confirmed.
Yes, with a card. Pay once by card, then turn on autopay from your ledger. M-Pesa payments can't be saved for autopay.
Landlords upload their ID and proof that they can let the property: a title deed, a lease that allows subletting, or a management mandate. Staff review the documents before new listings go live, and a badge on the listing shows who has passed.
Timed leases end on their end date and the unit becomes available again. A landlord can also give notice, and the tenant sees the date on their dashboard. Anything still owed stays on the account.
Identity documents are stored privately, and only you and Ivy administrators can open them. We handle personal data under Kenya's Data Protection Act. The privacy section of the Terms has the detail.
