For diaspora landlords
Own property in Rwanda. Live anywhere.
Managing a Kigali rental from Brussels, Toronto, or Dubai is stressful. Umutuzo puts a licensed agent on the ground for you — physically inspecting, verifying tenants, and checking in on your property — with monthly statements you can actually trust.
How it works
- 1
We physically inspect
A licensed Umutuzo agent visits your property, verifies documents on-site, and shoots professional listing photos.
- 2
We list, screen, and collect
We publish the listing, screen tenants with consent-based checks, and collect rent via MTN MoMo or card.
- 3
You get monthly reports
Statements, receipts, and agent check-in reports arrive every month — wherever in the world you live.
Why Umutuzo
An algorithm can't inspect a house.
Plenty of platforms will claim to "AI-verify" a listing from a phone screen. That's fine for a photo library — it's not fine for your property.
We send a real, licensed agent to stand inside the house, meet the caretaker, check the roof, confirm the meter reading, and photograph the true condition. That's what verification actually means when you're 6,000 kilometres away.
Our physical inspection is not an add-on. It's the product.

Frequently asked
- Can I onboard without traveling to Rwanda?
- Yes. Our licensed agents physically visit your property, verify ownership documents, take listing photos, and handle every step of the paperwork remotely. You sign digitally from wherever you live.
- How do I receive rent while I'm abroad?
- Tenants pay through MTN Mobile Money or card. We settle into your preferred account and send a monthly statement with every invoice, payment, and receipt.
- How do you verify tenants?
- Every applicant goes through consent-based screening: ID verification, employment and income checks, references, and — where available — an Umutuzo renter credit history built from on-time payments.
- What does it cost?
- No upfront fee — we charge a commission on rent we successfully collect. Request a callback and we'll walk you through the exact numbers for your property.
