Instant M-Pesa rent receipts
Connect the Paybill or Till tenants already pay. The moment rent lands, Messo sends a branded receipt with the amount, M-Pesa code, and the house number — the caretaker does not have to type it.

For the landlord and the agency desk
The same Messo workspace, aimed at how rent actually gets collected.
Receipts, arrears, tenant lists, and notices live together. The agency sees who paid. The caretaker reaches the units that need to know.
Arrears that stay current
Record rent, water, garbage, and service charge against each tenant. When money arrives, Messo applies it and can split one payment across more than one balance, then remind the units that still owe.
Reminders before rent is late
Send the monthly rent notice, a due-date reminder, and a follow-up to arrears as campaigns. Templates keep the wording the same from month to month.
Tenants grouped by building
Keep contacts in groups for a block, an estate, a floor, or an agency portfolio. Message House B on its own, or every tenant on the book, from the same list.
Notices drafted with AI
Describe the rent reminder or the water-bill notice. Messo writes a GSM-friendly draft with placeholders for name, amount, and house number already in place. Rewrite or shorten it, then send.
Your name on every SMS
A Sender ID replaces the random number. Tenants see the landlord or the agency — on Safaricom, Airtel, Telkom, and Equitel — so the receipt is trusted and stays out of spam.
A dashboard the caretaker can use on site
Agents, caretakers, and the accounts desk can send a follow-up, check delivery, and see who paid without going back to the office computer.
A rent payment link in the SMS
Share a link for the monthly rent or any amount still owing. Tenants pay the Paybill or Till from the message, with the account number already set.
How a portfolio goes live
Four steps. Ready before the next rent date.
