For landlords
Collect rent and stay KRA-compliant, without becoming an accountant
If your rent is above about KES 24,000 a month, KRA now expects a monthly return from you. Domus collects the rent, receipts every payment and prepares the return, for a flat KES 2,000 a month.
What KRA expects from you now
- Register your rental property on eRITS. Step-by-step guide.
- Receipt every rent payment through eTIMS. eTIMS for landlords.
- File and pay by the 20th, every month, including a nil return for months with no rent.
A simple example
Five units at KES 20,000 bring in KES 100,000 a month. At 7.5% of gross rent, that’s KES 7,500 due to KRA by the 20th of the next month, or KES 90,000 a year. No deductions for repairs or loans.
What Domus does for you
Tenants pay by M-Pesa
Straight to your own Paybill or Till. Each payment is matched to the right tenant and month.
Receipts, automatically
Every payment gets an eTIMS receipt and the tenant gets an SMS confirmation.
Your return, prepared
Domus adds up the month's rent and prepares your eRITS return. Vacant months become nil returns.
Your KRA risk in shillings
One number tells you if anything is overdue, and what to fix first.
Reminders that get you paid
Tenants get an SMS before rent is due and when it's late, with a link to pay.
Leases and repairs sorted
Sign leases online and track repairs in one list instead of WhatsApp.
One flat price
KES 2,000 a month. No setup fee, no cut of your rent, and rent always lands in your own account. See full pricing.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pay rental income tax as a small landlord?
If your residential rent is above KES 288,000 a year (about KES 24,000 a month), you're in the Monthly Rental Income regime and pay 7.5% of gross rent every month.
How much does Domus cost for a landlord?
KES 2,000 a month, flat, with no setup fee. Rent goes straight to your own Paybill or Till; Domus never takes a cut.
I only have a few units. Is Domus worth it?
If you're above the MRI threshold you already owe KRA a return every month. Domus turns that into one click, and a single avoided late filing penalty (at least KES 2,000) covers the month.
Can my caretaker use it?
Yes. Give your caretaker their own login to log maintenance, without access to your money or tax records.
