Who it’s for

Built for every Zambian rental situation.

Individual landlords

One or several units. Know exactly what has been paid, what is outstanding, and what each tenant owes — without chasing WhatsApp messages or rebuilding spreadsheets.

Managing agents

Keep owner, tenant and payment records organised in one system. Share clean monthly statements with property owners without rebuilding a new spreadsheet each time.

Property managers

Bulk invoices, multi-user access, documents, ledgers and monthly reports. On the Business plan, ZRA Smart Invoice is handled directly from the rent ledger.

Common rental headaches — solved.

How it works

Three steps from lease to receipt.

Designed for landlords without an accounting background. Set up your first lease, issue an invoice, and record the payment — in that order.

1

Add a lease.

Tenant, property, rent, currency, and term. Entered once and reused on every invoice.

SETUP · ONE-TIME
2

Issue the invoice.

One tap generates a provisional invoice in Kwacha, with the rental tax band applied. On the Business plan, RentBook pushes it to ZRA and returns the official Smart Tax Invoice. Send it on WhatsApp or email.

EVERY MONTH
3

Record the payment.

When rent arrives — bank, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, cash — log it. The receipt sends itself. Your books reconcile automatically.

WHEN PAID
Tenant ledgers
Every invoice, every payment, on one page per tenant.
Multi-currency
Bill in USD, settle in Kwacha — FX reconciled.
Maintenance log
Track requests, costs, and who paid for what.
Calendar & reminders
Rent-due, lease expiry, invoice overdue — all in one view.
Documents
Lease contracts, ID copies, proof of payment — stored securely.
Income statement
A clean P&L per property at the end of every month.

Every invoice fiscalised automatically.

On the Business plan, every invoice you raise in RentBook is automatically submitted to ZRA's Smart Invoice API. The system returns an official ZRA Invoice Number, a digital signature, and a QR code — all attached to your record instantly.

  • Itemised charges — rent, electricity, water recovery, levies
  • ZRA Invoice Number and SDC identity assigned by ZRA
  • VSDC digital signature from ZRA's verification system
  • QR code — tenant can verify the invoice directly with ZRA
  • Rental tax band automatically applied per the Income Tax Act
  • Bank payment details printed on every invoice

Built for the rules that apply in Zambia.

RentBook ZM is built around three things every Zambian landlord has to deal with: ZRA's Smart Invoice requirement, the Bank of Zambia's currency rules, and Zambian tenancy record obligations.

ZRA Smart Invoice integration (Business plan)

On the Business plan, RentBook is connected to ZRA's Smart Invoice API. When you issue an invoice, RentBook submits it to ZRA and stores the official Smart Tax Invoice number and QR code against your records. On Starter and Pro, RentBook produces a provisional invoice and you issue the matching Smart Invoice through ZRA's portal yourself.

Bank of Zambia FX directive

Where rent is contracted in USD and settled in Kwacha (or vice versa), RentBook records the FX rate used, the source, and the date — so the audit trail is on the document, not in a side conversation.

Zambian tenancy records

RentBook helps landlords maintain cleaner lease, invoice, payment and tenant records in line with common Zambian tenancy practice. For residential premises, the Rent Act, Cap 206 includes rent-book record requirements. For business premises, separate rules apply under the Landlord and Tenant (Business Premises) Act, Cap 193. Lease templates should always be reviewed by a lawyer before signing.

Pricing

Free for one unit. Pay only when you grow.

No setup fee. No card needed. All paid plans are billed annually.

"I built RentBook ZM because I was that landlord — recording rents in a notebook, updating totals in a spreadsheet, printing statements to file by hand, then reconciling everything properly so that ZRA returns and Smart Invoices match and are submitted within the required deadlines. If you've been there too, this was built for you!"
