Leases and rent, on autopilot
Set up a lease and the monthly rent invoices take care of themselves — including annual escalations and any extra recurring charges.
- Properties, units, tenants and leases in one place
- Automatic monthly rent invoicing — never re-key it
- Annual escalation applied on the anniversary automatically
- Add recurring charges (utilities, parking, levies) to a lease
Rent is income on your real books
Because Zealo already has the accounting, rent flows straight into your ledger — no separate property app to reconcile against.
- Rent posts as income and the tenant becomes a debtor
- Receive and reconcile rent with live SA bank feeds
- Arrears and age analysis using the same debtor tools
- Tenant statements out of the box
Deposits, arrears and a clear rent roll
Know exactly what you hold and what you're owed at a glance.
- Deposit register — held, refunded or forfeited
- Rent-roll dashboard: rent roll, outstanding, arrears, deposits held
- Per-property and portfolio insight
- Optional module — switch it on only if you let property
Frequently asked questions
Can Zealo bill my tenants' rent automatically?
Yes. Capture a lease once — rent, escalation, deposit and term — and Zealo raises the monthly rent invoice automatically, applies the annual escalation, and catches up any missed months without duplicating.
Does rental income show in my accounts?
Yes. Rent is recognised as your income on the same double-entry ledger as the rest of your business, the tenant is a normal debtor, and you reconcile rent through Zealo's bank feeds — no separate property app to reconcile against.
Is this for landlords or managing agents?
Phase 1 is for landlords managing their own properties. The managing-agent model — holding client money in trust and paying owners out — is on the roadmap.
Will it clutter Zealo if I don't let property?
No. Property management is an optional module, switched on per company. If you don't let property, you never see it.
