Nepal is adopting smart solutions in almost every field, but the rent management in Nepal stays the same, traditional. Traditional rent management includes conventional practices of landlords or property managers to collect rent and utility bills from tenants. This method of rent management is purely paper-based and includes manual tracking. Traditional rent management invites problems such as: mistakes in record-keeping, limited payment options, and security risks due to cash-only transactions. So, what can be the best solution to the issues caused by traditional rent management in Nepal? Simple, modern rent management system like eJyalo. Never heard of eJyalo? Well, after completing this blog, you will be familiar with eJyalo, its importance, and why it is the best rent management solution in Nepal.

All the people who are directly involved in rent management can use eJyalo as it offers the comfort of automating rental billing. Here are the individuals who can rely on eJyalo.

Landlords (Gharbeti)

Landlords can create an eJyalo account and then enter details about the property available for rent and other utilities that are provided, along with their charges. They can also add the existing renter and create a tenant account on eJyalo with their details like name, number, and the unit they’re renting. After updating the renters’ accounts, their bills are automatically generated and sent via SMS to their phones.

Tenants (Ghar bahal)

Renters can simply log into their eJyalo app (after getting added by the house owner) and get access to their accounts. Here, renters cannot only access their current bill, but also their past transaction records, utility usage patterns, and payable amount. As the app is launching its payment integration, tenants can also pay their due amount through an e-wallet like Khalti.

Property Managers

Property managers can oversee multiple rental units and maintain clear communication with residents and homeowners. They can handle the property-owners’ eJyalo account with which they can add the new tenant's details, record tenants' payments or dues, and check overall utility bills.

Let’s look into the details of the grounds that prove eJyalo is the most efficient rent management system in Nepal.

In Nepal, every household, whether the house owner or tenant, has its unique working nature.
But in most houses, working parents or other members go out to work, while the children go to school. Only elderly members stay at home. This common household dynamic creates two common scenarios for rent collection in Nepal. They are as follows.

1. The landlord approaches the room/flat occupant→If the room/flat occupant is available, rent and bills are provided→ Timely payment is made by the room/flat occupant.
2. The landlord approaches the room/flat occupant→If the room/flat occupant is unavailable, the homeowner has to visit the flats or location again. → The room/flat occupant receives bills late → Delays in rental payment.

In the latter scenario, there is a waste of time, energy, and delays for the property owner. Some tenants may also face issues due to their own unavailability on the billing day.
With the eJyalo app, property owners no longer need to go to the property and meet room/flat occupants. Also, the occupants can make their rent payments without having to meet the owners physically.

At present, rental buildings: commercial rentals, rental housing, and apartment buildings are exponentially growing in Nepal. Likewise, the number of showrooms for automobiles, furniture & home décor, electronics & appliances, etc., is also increasing. Not to forget, lavish and luxury properties are also rising.
The rental buildings can face the ‘landlord-tenant availability’ issue for payment. By using eJyalo Rent Management Solution, landlords can send custom monthly rent and utility bills to renters, while tenants can get clear details on their payments and easily make payments using e-wallets.
To maintain the aesthetics and vibe of showrooms, numerous spotlights are kept lit. While doing so, the possibility of unforeseen costs is high. eJyalo Enterprise Management Solution gives showroom owners a detailed report on electricity consumption. With such a report, they can further analyze and make a decision to take control measures.
Many individuals who own luxury property want to integrate IoT into their homes and enjoy the perks of having a smart home. With eJyalo Smart Homes Solution, high-end homeowners can have full control of the electricity and other smart devices.
Further, property owners can request for a custom eJyalo service package to solve their unique electricity issues.

With the eJyalo app, the house owner gets an alert on their eJyalo app about the completion of the billing process for the month. The app also sends an alert to ask if the home owner received the amounts they should get from all renters.
As the billing is prepared, all the tenants get an SMS that details their utility consumption, their respective bills, and the payable amount. Any tenant who has the app on their phone also receives notifications on their app about the due payments.
Homeowners can fix a date to calculate the monthly rental bills for the whole building or individual flats. If they have gotten the full automation system, i.e., eJyalo app and smart meter, they can fix the date for the rent and utility bill. All the renters also receive bills on the date set by the landlord.
After receiving the payments from renters, the property owner has to TOP-UP the paid amount in the eJyalo app to secure accurate digital records.

eJyalo alerts are the notifications sent to the users in regards to issues that might go unnoticed.
To aid house owners track payments from their flat/room occupants, eJyalo sends alerts such as ‘Did you get the rent and utility bills from all tenants?' For tenants, alerts such as ‘Did you receive your rent bill for ABC month?’ are sent.
In case of exceptional electricity consumption in a short period of time, eJyalo sends a caution alert: ‘ Your electricity meter reading is drastically increasing. Do you want to check?”
If the electricity was intentionally used in high amounts, landlords do not need to worry. However, if it was unintentional and sudden, underlying causes such as electricity leakage, faulty wiring, or inefficient appliances can be identified, and control measures can be taken in a timely manner.
eJyalo also sends alerts regarding the meter gauge’s on or off status. The homeowner can take the initiative to solve the issue if there is one.
