Why Xabira exists
Africa's property market
needed a trust layer.
For too long, landlords and tenants had no reliable way to verify, transact, or protect themselves. We built Xabira to change that.
Before Xabira
Tenants default with no warning
No central payment history means landlords get burned again and again, with no way to see it coming.
Listings you can't trust
Fake properties and unverifiable landlords have eroded confidence on both sides of every deal.
Agreements that vanish
WhatsApp threads, handwritten receipts and verbal leases turn into costly disputes with no paper trail.
Blind decisions made
Landlords guess at rent prices. Tenants guess landlord's reputation. With no reliable data on either side, everyone loses.
With Xabira
NIN verification before move-in
Every tenant is checked against Uganda's National ID database before a lease is signed.
Verified landlords and listings
Both sides are ID-checked, so tenants rent with confidence and landlords collect without doubt.
Digital leases. Instant receipts.
Legally binding agreements and payment records, signed, stored and available whenever you need them.
Real data. Real decisions.
Payment history, occupancy rates and market benchmarks in one dashboard.
Identity and payment history sit at the centre of every Xabira interaction. That creates a fair, predictable market for landlords, tenants and property managers.
Join the platformWhat you get
Everything you need to
manage your properties.
Replace spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups and paper receipts with one system built for the African market.
Rent collections
Tenants pay by MTN Mobile Money (recommended) or Airtel Money, from the Xabira app or by USSD. Rent is paid out automatically to your MTN or Airtel Mobile Money wallet (bank payouts are coming later), and both of you get a receipt.
NIN tenant verification
Check every tenant against Uganda's National ID database before the lease is signed. It takes under a minute and tells you exactly who is moving in.
Digital lease agreements
Create tenancy agreements that follow Ugandan law. Both parties sign on their phone. No printing, no scanning, no chasing paper across town.
Automatic rent reminders
Xabira texts your tenants 7 days, 3 days and 1 day before rent is due. Fewer late payments, and you never have to make the awkward call yourself.
Portfolio dashboard
See every property on one screen. Who has paid, who has not, what is empty and what you have earned this month, on your phone or your computer.
Bank-grade security
Your ID documents are encrypted and never shown publicly. Every payment is verified and logged, so there is always a record of what happened.

Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Tenants pay by MTN Mobile Money (recommended) or Airtel Money, straight from their phone. Xabira collects the rent and then pays it out automatically to your registered MTN or Airtel Mobile Money wallet. Payouts to a bank account are coming later. Xabira records the payment and sends a receipt to both of you.
NIN verification checks a tenant's National Identification Number against Uganda's NIRA database. It is not required by law, but we strongly recommend it. It takes under 60 seconds and cuts down sharply on fraud and tenancy disputes.
Yes. Xabira's lease templates are written to comply with Uganda's Landlord and Tenant Act 2022. Digital signatures are legally recognised under the Electronic Transactions Act 2011.
Yes. You can add as many properties, units and property managers as you need under one account. Property managers only see the portfolios you assign to them, and every action they take is logged.
Property managers create a company profile on Xabira with their business name and licence details. Landlords then invite you to manage their portfolio. Once you are connected, you get one dashboard showing all your clients' properties, units, occupancy and rent collection status, with no separate logins for each account. You can track performance across every portfolio from one place and share reports with your clients directly.
UGX 4,720 per unit per month (UGX 4,000 + 18% VAT), and only for the units you actively manage. It is deducted automatically from the tenant’s rent payment, so there is nothing to pay upfront and no hidden fees.
Yes. On top of rent, tenants pay a platform fee of UGX 3,540 per payment (UGX 3,000 + 18% VAT), plus the Mobile Money charges for sending the payment. You receive your rent minus only your per-unit fee. We recommend MTN Mobile Money.
Yes. All ID documents are stored in private, encrypted cloud storage and are never shown publicly. Every payment is cryptographically verified. We comply with Uganda's Data Protection and Privacy Act 2019.
