Your rent register has done its job for years. But it is slow, it can get lost, and it cannot remind anyone. Moving to software is not a big bang. It is four small steps, and you can do them over a weekend.
Step 1: List your tenants and rents
Open your register and note each tenant’s name, room, rent, deposit and joining date. This is the only time you copy the old data. It takes an hour or two for a small PG.
Step 2: Add rooms and tenants to the app
Add your buildings and rooms first, then add each tenant to a bed. Add their phone numbers and KYC, if you have them. You can also add the rest later, one by one.

Step 3: Record this month’s payments
For everyone who has already paid, record the amount and mode, cash or UPI. For the rest, leave it pending. Now your pending list shows exactly who owes you.
Step 4: Switch on reminders and tell your tenants
Tell your tenants that rent reminders will come from the app now. Most are happy about it. Fewer calls from you, and clear dates for them.
