Hi Rohan 👋
Here is your monthly invoice for Room 101 · Bed 101-A:
Set up your PG rooms, beds, and sub-meters in under 3 minutes.
Answers for PG owners and hostel managers evaluating a switch.
The #1 reason is tenant compliance. Students and working professionals hate installing another heavy mobile app just to pay rent once a month. With TenantsFlo, bills arrive on WhatsApp with a direct Google Pay / PhonePe / Paytm deep-link. Tenants tap, enter their UPI PIN, and pay in 5 seconds. Rent collection speed increases by over 30%, with zero app friction.
No. TenantsFlo never sits in the middle of your cash flow. Unlike payment gateways that deduct 1.5% to 2% convenience fees or hold funds in intermediary wallets, TenantsFlo uses direct UPI deep-links. When a student pays, the money lands directly in your bank account immediately at 0% transaction fees.
Yes! While RentOk is primarily designed as a mobile Android app, TenantsFlo is a cloud platform optimized for both desktops/laptops and mobile screens. You can view your entire 200-bed floor plan on your computer screen at your reception desk, or check collections on your phone while traveling.
In shared PG rooms, splitting electricity bills is a major source of roommate disputes. In TenantsFlo, you simply enter the room’s starting and ending sub-meter units each month. TenantsFlo automatically calculates the total bill using your state DISCOM slab rates and divides the cost evenly among active roommates on their WhatsApp bill.
Extremely easy. You can export your tenant and room list from your existing software or Excel and upload it into TenantsFlo in under 5 minutes. Our onboarding team also provides free setup support to configure your exact building layouts, rooms, and bed sharing types.
Eliminate tenant app resistance. Switch to clean WhatsApp UPI rent collections with zero transaction fees.
