SMS rent reminders and payment confirmations
Tenants don’t need a smartphone or an app. Kodi sends a plain SMS with their name, house and balance — so reminders get read and payments get acknowledged.
On the next page, tap “New here? Create an account”. All you need is your phone number — no card or payment to start.

The demo uses made-up tenants and SMS is switched off.
What you can send
- Rent due reminders on the day of the month you choose — only to tenants who still owe.
- Payment confirmations sent automatically every time you record a payment.
- Water and electricity bills texted when you bill them.
- Notices to a whole building — water interruptions, maintenance, meetings.
- Your own templates, with the tenant’s details filled in.
Example rent reminder
Pay only for what you send
SMS costs KES 2 per message. Top up your SMS wallet by M-Pesa when you need to; Kodi shows how many messages and the total cost before you press send, and lets you resend any that failed.
Frequently asked questions
How much does SMS cost?
KES 2 per message. You buy SMS credits only when you need them and Kodi shows the cost before anything is sent.
Will tenants who have paid get a reminder?
No. The rent reminder only goes to tenants who still owe on the day you choose.
Can I write my own messages?
Yes. Use the ready-made templates or save your own, with the tenant’s name, house and balance filled in for you.
