Common questions
What does hosting cost?▼
New hosts get a free 30-day trial with full access to every feature, no credit card required — after which plans start from R349/month.
How do tenants pay rent?▼
Tenants pay rent directly to your bank account. RoomNest helps you track and record payments, but we don't hold or process funds.
Can I set my own rent?▼
Yes — you set the price. RoomNest doesn't take a cut of your rent.
What if a student falls behind on rent?▼
You get notified and can follow up directly. RoomNest provides dispute tools and lease templates to help you take the right steps.
