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.
