Getting started with Karyasthan

Karyasthan keeps your family's properties, rent, repairs, and documents in one place. Every member sees the same picture, wherever they are.

What you will find

• Dashboard shows this month's rent snapshot: how much has been collected, what is outstanding, and which tenants are overdue. A shared activity timeline sits on the right so the whole family sees what has happened.
• Properties lists all your properties. Click any row to open the property detail, with units, tenants, and a per-property timeline.
• Rent is the monthly rent ledger. Record payments, generate receipts, and see who is due or overdue.
• Ledger holds the complete transaction history across all properties. It can be filtered and exported to CSV.
• Care covers maintenance requests, geotagged proof photos, and trusted local contacts.
• Documents stores rent receipts, lease agreements, land deeds, and other files securely in the cloud.
• People & access controls who can see and manage your properties (Owner, Manager, or Viewer).
• Reports has charts for collection, occupancy, and arrears aging over 3, 6, or 12 months.
• Ask Karyasthan is an AI assistant that answers questions about your own estate data.

Where to begin

1. Open Properties and click Add property.
2. Fill in a name, type (Flat, Villa, Shop, or Land), and address.
3. Optionally tick Add a tenant to record the first lease and monthly rent straight away.
4. Return to the Dashboard. Your first property appears immediately.

tip: If a family member needs to follow along without making changes, add them as a Viewer in People & access. They will see rent and proof photos but cannot record payments or invite anyone.
