The Casaro guarantee

Your money moves only when the rules say so.

The number one fear in this market is paying a booking fee and losing the unit — or the money. Casaro replaces trust-me with a simple escrow machine.

1

Book & pay the fee

Pay by mobile money. The fee lands in Casaro escrow — never directly with the landlord.

2

The unit goes on hold

It disappears from search for up to 72 hours (landlord-set, 24–168h). Nobody else can take it.

3

Visit & confirm

See it in person. Confirm move-in and pay the balance through Casaro with instant receipts.

4

Escrow settles

Fee credits your rent or releases per the listing's terms — everything on the record.

The rules, in plain language: You confirm move-in → the fee settles as promised. The landlord cancels → 100% refund, automatically. You let the hold lapse → the fee releases to the landlord for their time. Something's wrong → open a dispute and the money freezes until Casaro Ops resolves it, within 5 business days.

For tenants

Search like the listings are real. Because they are.

Casaro launches supply-first: verified, photographed, priced homes before a single ad runs.

  • ✓ Verified badge — ownership or management evidence checked by Casaro Ops before publishing.
  • 14-day freshness — landlords must reconfirm availability or the listing hides itself. No graveyard listings.
  • Total move-in cost — fee + upfront rent + deposit, itemized on every listing. No surprises at the gate.
  • Rent with receipts — pay through Casaro and build a payment history; confirm or reject any cash your landlord logs.
3 taps
from search to a protected booking

Filter by area, price, and bedrooms — or by institution and room type for hostels. Message landlords in listing-scoped chat, book with a fee that's actually safe, and download your auto-filled tenancy agreement when you move in.

< 3 min
to list a unit from your phone

Serious tenants only: booking fees filter out window-shoppers, holds are automatic, and every shilling paid through Casaro is receipted into a clean, exportable ledger. Collect cash at the compound? Log it in two taps — your tenant confirms on their phone and the record is settled by both of you.

For landlords & agents

Fill units faster. Keep records that defend you.

One quick KYC, then list as many properties as you manage — agents welcome, on the record.

  • Escrow-backed bookings — if a tenant no-shows past the hold window, the fee releases to you.
  • One-tap freshness — a link on your phone keeps listings live; stale ones hide instead of burning tenant trust.
  • Arrears at a glance — platform payments are authoritative; dual-confirmed cash completes the picture.
  • CSV export & agreements — the ledger and an auto-filled tenancy agreement template, whenever you need them.

Student hostels

Hostel hunting at Makerere, minus the trek up the hill.

Search by institution, room type, and per-semester price. Verified hostels, real photos, secure booking fees — sorted before the semester rush, not during it.
