Property management for landlords and managers
Rent, payments, lettings, inspections and repairs for every unit you own or manage, in one calm place. With a portal your tenants can open on any phone.
Made for landlords everywhere. Each company sets its own country, currency, time zone and phone format.
What Makao does
The everyday work of renting out homes, kept in one place so nothing slips between notebooks, spreadsheets and chats.
Rent and charges post themselves on the due date. See who has paid, who is late and by how much. Every payment gets a numbered receipt.
Tenants send their payment message, a reference or a screenshot. You check it against your own statement and approve. Nothing counts until you do.
Follow everyone interested in a vacant unit, book viewings, and turn the right applicant into a tenant with a draft lease ready to go.
Room-by-room move-in and move-out reports with photos, done on your phone as you walk through. Tenants confirm them in their portal.
Tenants and staff add photos to a repair, and everyone follows the same timeline. Phones shrink photos first, so they upload fast on any connection.
A heads-up when a fixed-term lease enters its last 60 days. Tenants tell you in the portal whether they plan to renew or move out.
Also in every account: utility bills by meter reading, your own bills and expenses, reports and CSV exports, documents, and a full history of every change.
Tenant portal
Invite a tenant with a link. They sign up with their phone number and see only their own home. Nothing to download: it opens in the phone's browser.
Owners, property managers and caretakers, each limited to the buildings they look after. Caretakers handle repairs and inspections without seeing rent.
Most of property management happens away from a desk. Every screen works on a phone, including inspections room by room.
Mistakes are reversed, never deleted, and every change shows who made it and when. Your numbers stay right, month after month.
How to start

Questions
Create an account and start adding your buildings straight away. Every feature is included, and you don't need a card to begin.
No. Tenants keep paying you directly, by bank, mobile money, cash or any way you already use. You record payments in Makao, or tenants send proof from their portal for you to approve, and each payment gets a receipt.
Any. When you set up your company you choose your country, currency, time zone and date format, and phone numbers are understood the local way.
No. The tenant portal opens in the browser on any phone. You send each tenant an invite link, and they sign up with their phone number.
Yes. Add existing leases and choose the date billing should start from, so nobody is charged for months that are already settled.
Rent reminders, receipts and repair updates are written out for you and open in WhatsApp with one tap, so they come from your own number. Your team also gets notifications inside Makao. Makao doesn't send texts or emails on its own yet.
Start with one building or all of them. Your free trial begins the moment you sign up.
