How it works
From “Hi” to your first reminder in a few minutes
Here’s what using Landuri looks like. Every conversation below is an example. The names and amounts are made up.
-
Step 1
Say hi to Landuri on WhatsApp
Tap “Start on WhatsApp” and send the first message. Landuri introduces itself and links to the Terms of Use and Privacy Notice.
Reply “I agree” to continue. That’s your whole sign-up: no forms, no passwords and no app.
Landuri WhatsApp- You:
Hi Landuri
19:02
- Landuri:
Hi! I’m Landuri. I keep your rent records and remind your tenants for you. Before we start, please read our Terms of Use and Privacy Notice: landuri.co.za/terms Reply I agree to continue.
19:02
- You:
I agree
19:03
Signing up. Example only. -
-
Step 2
Add your rooms and tenants
Tell Landuri about each room: who lives there, the rent and the day it’s due. Write it however is natural for you. Landuri checks the details with you before saving.
Let your tenants know you use Landuri. You can add up to 3 rooms on the free plan.
Landuri WhatsApp- You:
Room 3 is Thandi, R1 800 due on the 1st
19:05
- Landuri:
Room 3: Thandi, R1 800, due on the 1st of each month. Save? Reply YES or NO
19:05
- You:
YES
19:05
- Landuri:
Saved ✅ I’ll ask Thandi if she’d like reminders and receipts on WhatsApp.

Step 3
Your tenant chooses to receive messages
Landuri sends your tenant one message explaining who it is and why it’s writing. Nothing else is sent unless they reply YES.
Tenants can reply STOP at any time. If they do, you’re told and you can still record their payments yourself.
Landuri What your tenant sees- Landuri:
Hi Thandi. Your landlord uses Landuri to keep track of rent for Room 3. Landuri can send you rent reminders and receipts on WhatsApp. Your information is handled as explained here: landuri.co.za/privacy Reply YES to receive messages, or STOP at any time to stop them.
19:06
- You:
YES
19:20
The opt-in message your tenant receives. Example only. -
-
Step 4
Reminders go out before rent is due
Each month, Landuri sends a short, polite reminder to tenants who opted in. You don’t have to remember, and you don’t have to send the awkward message yourself.
Landuri What your tenant sees- Landuri:
Hi Thandi 👋 A friendly reminder that rent of R1 800 for Room 3 is due on Friday, 1 March. Already paid? You can send your proof of payment here. Reply STOP to stop messages.
09:00
A monthly reminder. Example only. -
-
Step 5
Record payments and send receipts
When rent comes in, send Landuri the slip, or just say who paid. Landuri suggests the entry and you confirm it. Always check your bank statement first, because a slip is evidence, not proof.
Once you confirm, Landuri updates your records and can send your tenant a receipt.
Landuri WhatsApp- You:
Thandi paid R1 800 cash today
16:40
- Landuri:
Record R1 800 cash from Thandi for Room 3, March rent? Reply YES or NO
16:40
- You:
YES
16:41
- Landuri:
Saved ✅ Receipt sent to Thandi.

Confirming a payment. Example only. -

Step 6
See where you stand, any time
Ask Landuri who has paid, who still owes, or what you received last month. You can ask for a copy of all your records whenever you like.
Landuri WhatsApp- You:
How did February go?
20:15
- Landuri:
February: 3 of 3 rooms paid ✅ Total received: R5 100 Nothing outstanding.
