He says he paid in March. Can you prove it?

Record rent as it comes in, by WhatsApp message. Your tenant gets a receipt with the balance, and you both keep the same record.

The March problem

It's October. Your tenant in Flat 2 says he paid ₦600,000 in March. You have a bank alert with no note, a voice message you can't find, and a caretaker who thinks he remembers. He has nothing either.

Half of it came from his brother's account. The alert just says CHINEDU O. You've been guessing which flat that was for ever since.

Nobody has to be lying for this to go wrong. There's simply no record either of you can point to.

One message when rent comes in

You already message your tenants. This is one more.

  1. Step 1

    Rent comes in. Send it to Proveam:

    You send ProveamTola Ade, rent Flat 2 Jan–Dec 1.2m paid 600k

    Your tenant gets, on WhatsAppReceipt AH-0042 · Adeyemi HomesRent, Flat 2 (Jan–Dec)₦1,200,000Paid₦600,000Left to pay₦600,000
  2. Step 2

    Tola gets that receipt on WhatsApp straight away.

  3. Step 3

    Next payment, same again:

    You send ProveamTola Ade paid 300k

    Your tenant gets, on WhatsAppReceipt AH-0043 · Adeyemi HomesPayment received₦300,000Balance₦300,000

Caution deposit? Record it on its own, Tola Ade, caution deposit 200k paid 200k, so it never gets mixed into the rent.

What changes for you

You can see who owes what across every flat without scrolling through chats.

Your caretaker records cash on the day he collects it, from his own login, and you see his name on it. Up to two people can have a login like that.

Reminders go out only when you send them, stating the balance and nothing else. At most three a month per tenant, around payday.

Typed the wrong amount? Void it and record it again. Your tenant sees both. Nothing gets quietly edited.

Your tenant

Gets a receipt every time, free, on WhatsApp, with nothing to install. When he moves out, or a new agent claims a payment never happened, every receipt you ever sent him is still there under his number. If one looks wrong, he taps Not correct and you're told.

Questions landlords ask

What if my caretaker collects cash and doesn't tell me?

Send him a login link. He records it when he collects it, and you see it the same day, with his name on it.

I have flats in two buildings. Won't it get confusing?

Put the flat in the message, like "rent Block B Flat 4". Every receipt and balance shows it.

Does Proveam hold the rent?

No. Tenants pay you the way they always have. We only keep the record.

What if I record the wrong amount?

Void it and send it again. The tenant gets a void receipt, and the original stays on record, so nobody can say anything was hidden.

How much is it?
