Owners and landlords

Owners (or Landlords) are the parties who own the properties you manage. You may also track management contracts with them—fees, reporting, and payouts. Nyumba Zetu lets you store owner details and, where supported, run owner statements and reports.

​
Where to find owners and landlords

  1. Sign in to the app.
  2. In the sidebar, click Landlords or Owners (or Management contracts), depending on your menu.
  3. You’ll see a list of owners or contracts. Use search or filters to find one.

​
Adding an owner or landlord

1

Open Landlords or Owners

Go to Landlords or Owners from the sidebar.
2

Add a new record

Click Add (or New landlord / New owner). The form opens.
3

Enter details

Fill in name, contact (email, phone), and any required fields (e.g. address, bank details for payouts). If you’re adding a management contract, link it to the owner and the property or portfolio. Save.

​
Owner statements and reports

Many setups include owner statements or landlord reports that summarize rent collected, expenses, and amounts due to the owner for a period. Run these from Reports (e.g. Landlord statement, Owner report) and filter by owner or date range. For how tenant billing, cash receipts, allocations, and recharges relate to the company ledger (double-entry journals, posting rules, and typical account flows), see Accounting and posting.
