Rent page in the Plinthos web app: monthly rent per tenant, one payment under review with a Review button, the rest paid

Generate, mark, confirm

The same confirmation flow applies to bill shares.

1

Rent generates automatically

On the 1st of each month, Plinthos creates one rent entry per active contract. Mid-month move-ins and move-outs get pro-rata amounts based on actual days occupied.

2

Your tenant marks it paid

After paying by bank transfer or cash, your tenant marks the rent as paid from their free app and attaches a photo of the transfer or receipt. You get a notification right away.

3

You confirm

Review the proof and confirm with one tap, or reject with a reason your tenant can see. Nothing counts as collected until you confirm it.

Everything the rent cycle needs

📅

Automatic pro-rata

Mid-month move-ins and move-outs are billed for the days actually occupied, calculated automatically for the first and last month of the contract.

🔔

Reminders on day 5 and day 10

An unpaid rent turns late automatically 5 days after the due date, and your tenant gets a reminder. A second reminder goes out on day 10, and you’re notified too.

🧾

Receipt PDFs

Once a payment is confirmed, generate a PDF receipt directly from the entry.

🛏️

Per-room or per-bed pricing

Set pricing per room or per bed for shared rooms. Each contract keeps its own fixed amount — changing a room’s list price never alters existing contracts.

📊

Full history and yearly export

Every payment is archived by month and by tenant. A yearly summary exports income per property.

↩️

Withdraw before confirmation

If a tenant marks a payment by mistake, they can withdraw it any time before you confirm it.

Payment states

Nothing counts as collected until you confirm it — here is what each state means.

State How it happens Tenant sees Your action
Pending Generated automatically on the 1st of the month Rent due Wait, or send a manual reminder
Awaiting confirmation Tenant marks it paid and attaches proof “Awaiting confirmation” Confirm with one tap, or reject with a reason
Paid You confirm the tenant’s proof Paid Generate a receipt PDF if needed
Rejected You reject the claim with a mandatory reason Rejected, with your reason; can mark again Wait for the tenant to mark it again
Late Automatic, 5 days after the due date if still pending First reminder sent automatically Second reminder goes out on day 10; you can also remind manually anytime

Web and mobile, same data

Confirm a payment from your phone and see it updated in the browser a moment later — the same data, in real time, on both.

Your tenant uses the free tenant app to mark payments and attach proof. If they don’t have it yet, reminders still reach them by WhatsApp — a phone number is enough.

FAQ

Common questions

How do I know who has paid?
Each contract’s rent entry shows its current state — pending, awaiting confirmation, paid, rejected, or late — for every month. The dashboard lists all active contracts and their status at a glance.
Can my tenant mark payments themselves?
Yes. From their free app, your tenant marks a rent as paid and attaches a photo of the bank transfer or receipt. The entry then shows as awaiting your confirmation, and you’re notified.
What happens if a payment is late?
Five days after the due date, an unpaid entry turns late automatically and your tenant gets a first reminder. A second reminder goes out on day 10, and you’re alerted too. You can also send a reminder manually at any time.
How does pro-rata work for a mid-month move-in?
Plinthos calculates rent for the actual days occupied in the first and last month of the contract, rather than charging a full month. The pro-rata amount is generated automatically, with no manual calculation needed.
Can two tenants in the same room pay different amounts?
Yes. Each contract has its own fixed rent amount, set when you create it. Changing a room’s per-room or per-bed list price never changes the amount on existing contracts.
Does the payment itself happen inside the app?
No. Rent is paid outside Plinthos, by bank transfer or cash, however you and your tenant already handle it. Plinthos tracks and certifies each payment with a confirmation flow, and takes no commission on rent.
