Get Started with Kejarent
Before diving into the detailed modules, let's make sure your Kejarent Tenant Management System is set up correctly. These first steps will help you connect everything - your apartments, units and tenants so the system runs smoothly.
If you'd like a more detailed, step-by-step walkthrough (with screenshots and examples), simply visit each respective section of this documentation. For instance, to learn how to add a tenant or create an apartment, head over to those specific parts for full guidance. Each section explains exactly what to do and what to expect on the screen, so you'll always know you're on the right track.
Step 1: Add an Apartment
Begin by adding your first apartment under the Apartments & Units section. Provide details such as the apartment name, location, your email and phone number. This creates the foundation for your units and tenant assignments.
- Go to Apartments & Units → Apartments → Add Apartment.
- Fill in all required fields and click Submit.
- Once saved, click Next to add Units to that Apartment you added
Step 2: Add Units to the Apartment
After successfully creating an apartment and clicking Submit, the button will automatically change to Next. Click Next to proceed to the Add Units section, where you can register all units belonging to the selected apartment.
Each unit represents an individual rentable space (e.g., Room 101, Unit A1, etc.) and allows you to define detailed information about it.
- Click Next after creating an apartment to open the Add Units form.
- Enter the Unit Name (e.g., Room 101, Unit A2, etc.).
- Select the Type of the unit - for example, 1 Bedroom, Bedsitter, 2 Bedroom, Studio, etc.
- Provide any Additional Information describing the unit (e.g., “Located on the ground floor near the gate”).
- Specify the Number of Bedrooms and Number of Bathrooms for that particular unit.
- Enter the Rate (i.e., the rent amount to be charged for this unit).
- Click Add to List to add the unit details to the table below. This allows you to view all added units in a structured format.
- You can continue adding more units in the same way until all units for that apartment are listed in the table.
- Once all units have been added, click Submit to save the apartment together with all its units.
Step 3: Register a Tenant
After adding your apartment and its units, the next step is to register a tenant and assign them to a specific unit. This process links rent and utility tracking directly to the correct property and tenant.
- Navigate to Tenants Section → Manage Tenants → Add Tenant.
- Start by assigning the House Details — select the Apartment from the dropdown, then choose the specific Unit the tenant will occupy.
-
Next, fill in the required Tenant Details, including:
- Username
- Full Name
- Email Address
- Phone Number
-
Below the tenant details section, you'll find an optional Deposit Payment Details form. This includes:
- Payable Deposit Amount
- Payment Mode (e.g., cash, M-Pesa, bank and float)
- Reference Number
- This deposit payment section is optional - you can submit the tenant details without filling it out to simply add the tenant to the selected apartment and unit.
- If you choose not to enter the deposit information here, the deposit can be handled later under the Tenant Check-In/Out section, specifically during the first step of check-in (Deposit Payment) after searching for the tenant.
- However, if you enter the Deposit Payment Details during tenant registration and the full deposit amount is paid, that check-in deposit step will be automatically skipped since the payment is already settled.
- Once all the details are filled, click Submit to register the tenant and assign them to the selected unit.
Following these steps ensures your system is properly initialized. Once this setup is complete, you can explore advanced features like employee management, organization details and system settings under the Administrative section.
