Rent rolls,
dignified.

COTE Rentals is the quiet, architectural way to run a rental portfolio. Every door, every tenant, every shilling — collected, posted, and reconciled in one ledger that prints like an institutional report.

A.01 / The system

Most rental software treats landlords like spreadsheets with feelings. We treat them like operators.

COTE Rentals was built in Kampala by people who actually run buildings. We were tired of WhatsApp payment screenshots, half-remembered late fees, and quarter-end panic when the auditor asked for a rent roll.

So we made a ledger that is opinionated where it matters and quiet everywhere else. House types, lease terms, occupancy, mobile-money collections, receipts, generated reports — all of it sits in one place, ready to print on letterhead.

A.02 / Features

Everything a portfolio
needs to behave.

A small set of features, executed exactly. No bloat, no forced workflows, no toggles begging to be enabled. Six primitives, working together.

/ 01

House types & doors

Categorize the portfolio by house type — apartments, single-family, commercial. Each unit carries its own address, amount, billing cadence, and history.

/ 02

Tenants & leases

Onboard tenants with phone-OTP login. Track lease windows, deposits, and emergency contacts. Email is optional — phone is enough.

/ 03

Mobile-money collections

MTN and Airtel rent directly into your wallet. Every shilling lands with a reference number, status, and a receipt the tenant actually keeps.

/ 04

Generated reports

Snapshot a financial summary or occupancy report per period — broken down by house type if you ask. Exports without surprises.

/ 05

Audit-ready ledger

Every payment, every late fee, every adjustment is timestamped and immutable. Quarter-end stops being a project.

/ 06

Quiet automation

Late fees post themselves. Reminders go out before the due date. The platform speaks up only when something needs you.

A.03 / How it works

Four moves, top to bottom.
The whole rental year fits inside.

From the day you list your first door to the morning you hand a printed financial summary to your accountant — this is the entire workflow.

  1. Bring the portfolio in.

    Plate 12 · Setup

    / 01

    Bring the portfolio in.

    Add house types and doors. Set the amount, the cadence, the deposit, the photo. The shape of your buildings becomes the shape of your ledger.

  2. Onboard tenants in minutes.

    Plate 17 · Tenants

    / 02

    Onboard tenants in minutes.

    Phone-OTP login, lease window, emergency contact. Tenants without email are first-class — the portal speaks SMS fluently.

  3. Collect rent automatically.

    Plate 21 · Collections

    / 03

    Collect rent automatically.

    MTN and Airtel money flow into the platform with provider references, status, and instant receipts. You watch, you don't chase.

  4. Generate the report. Print it.

    Plate 28 · Report

    / 04

    Generate the report. Print it.

    Period start, period end, kind. The system snapshots a financial summary, an occupancy rate, both. Walk into the bank with it.

A.04 / Outcomes

What changes
when the ledger is real.

Three landlords. Three portfolios. The same answer when we asked them what changed in the first 90 days.

“
I stopped chasing rent. I stopped chasing receipts. The first month I used COTE I closed my books in twenty minutes.

“
Generated reports replaced our quarterly meeting. We now share a printed financial summary the morning of, and the conversation is about decisions.

“
Some of my tenants don't use email. They send mobile money, they get an SMS receipt, and the ledger is right. That alone made me switch.
