The everyday value

Understand it. Record it. Resolve it.

Know what the rent includes

Keep the rent, due date, approved repair credits and payment reports organised per unit and month.

How it works

Explore first. Decide when you are ready.

No registration wall around the demonstration. Real records remain in the private portal.

STEP 01 — TRY

Pick a rental scenario

See a backroom, townhouse, student room or estate. Explore a rental problem without sharing personal data.

STEP 02 — UNDERSTAND

Use the tools yourself

Test a maintenance report, approved repair credit, balance calculation, inspection or calendar reminder.

STEP 03 — MANAGE

Create your owner or tenant account

Owners can register properties and units, create lease drafts and invite tenants into their private workspace.

Try the rental mathematics

Know exactly what is outstanding.

Move the amounts to see how a manually approved repair credit changes the balance. This is arithmetic, not an automated right to deduct costs from rent.

Sample outstanding rent
R2,100.00

R2,450 rent – R350 approved credit

Only agreed or properly approved offsets should affect a real rent balance. Bank verification is not connected.

Affordable by design

Clear answers

Questions people will ask.

Can I try KayaGuard without giving you my details?

Yes. The interactive demonstration is open without registration. The fictional examples run in your browser and do not ask for a payment card.

Does KayaGuard offer real rental homes for booking?

Not yet. The eight homes are examples illustrating different housing needs. They are not listings or availability claims, and no deposit or booking is taken.

Can KayaGuard legally decide who is responsible for damage?

No. The current demo provides documentation and a preliminary checklist. Liability depends on the evidence, lease, applicable law and proper human review.

Does KayaGuard verify NSFAS student funding or collect NSFAS rent?

No. The student accommodation scenario is educational. Official award, property accreditation, signed agreement and provider payments require independent verification. Under the relevant NSFAS private-accommodation rules, funded students should not be asked to pay a deposit or rent top-up to the provider.

Can an owner charge tenants using KayaGuard today?

No. Rental-payment references and owner-provided statements can be recorded, but live payment collection and independent bank reconciliation are not enabled. Paid KayaGuard subscriptions have not been activated.

Can I use KayaGuard on my phone?

Yes. KayaGuard is an installable web app. Open the installation page and follow the Android, iPhone, Windows or Mac instructions.
