About
Secure Living is a property-management platform built for landlords in Kenya. It covers the whole rental lifecycle — tenant onboarding, rent collection, compliance, and portfolio analytics — in one secure place.
Rent is collected through escrow-backed M-Pesa payments, the way most Kenyan tenants already prefer to pay.

- Landlords were collecting rent manually and chasing late payments by phone.
- Trust between tenants and landlords is low without a neutral payment layer.
- KYC and compliance checks were paper-based and slow.
