Boarding House Management
and Billing System

Smapey combines boarding house management and billing in one system — rooms, tenants, rent bills, utility bills, payment tracking, and overdue alerts. Built for Philippine landlords who want the whole operation in one place.

What is a boarding house management and billing system?

A boarding house management and billing system combines two things that most Philippine landlords still handle separately: (1) managing their property — rooms, tenants, occupancy — and (2) billing tenants for rent and utilities every month.

When these two things are in the same system, everything connects automatically. A tenant is assigned to a room — their billing details are already there. They move out — the room is freed and billing stops. They pay a bill — the payment is recorded against their account instantly.

Smapey is exactly that: a combined boarding house management and billing system that keeps every room, tenant, and payment connected — so you always know the full picture without manually reconciling records.

Billing features built for boarding houses

Every billing feature is designed around the way Philippine boarding houses actually collect rent.

Monthly Rent Billing

Generate a rent bill for each tenant at the start of the month. Set the amount, due date, and payment method. The system tracks the balance automatically.

Utility Billing

Create separate electricity, water, or internet bills per tenant per month. Utilities are clearly separated from rent so tenants always understand what they owe.

Partial Payment Support

Record partial payments on any bill. The remaining balance is tracked automatically — no manual calculations needed.

Overdue Bill Alerts

Every overdue rent bill surfaces on the dashboard with tenant name, room, amount, and due date. You always know who hasn't paid without having to check manually.

Revenue Dashboard

See rent collected and utilities collected this month — plus a 6-month stacked bar chart showing rent vs. utility revenue trends.

Tenant-linked Bills

Every bill is linked to a specific tenant and tenancy. Payment history is stored per tenant — you always have a complete record for any dispute or query.

How the billing system works

1

Set up rooms and assign tenants

Add your rooms once. Assign tenants with a move-in date and monthly rate. The system links every bill to the right tenant automatically.

2

Generate bills each month

Create a rent bill and utility bill per tenant. Set amounts and due dates. It takes under a minute per tenant.

3

Record payments as they come in

When a tenant pays — cash, GCash, Maya, or bank transfer — mark the payment on their bill. Partial payments are tracked. Overdue balances flag themselves.
