Ways to import

You do not have to type your tenants in one by one. Pick the way that matches where your records are today.

Excel, Google Sheets, a notebook you can type upSpreadsheet importBuildings, units, tenants, rent, deposits held and what each tenant owes today
Your M-Pesa paybill or till statementStatement matchingWhich phone each tenant pays from, so their payments match themselves

What happens to what you already have

Nothing is saved until you have seen it. Both imports show every row first, with the problems on each one, and you choose what to keep. Running the same file again is safe: anything already imported is recognised and skipped, never doubled.

Your tenants are not messaged when you import them. They hear from Nyumbisha when their next rent is due, or when you ask them for a payment.
