Hostel / PG Manager · for PG & hostel owners

Beds, admissions and monthly rent for a hostel or paying-guest house

Every bed is either free or occupied by a named resident; every month has a rent due, a paid amount and a balance that cannot be overpaid. Admissions cannot exceed the beds in a room — even if two people are admitted at the same moment — and the dashboard shows occupancy and rent collected against expected.

One-time payment · full source code · instant download · optional installation add-on · non-refundable

Sound familiar?

  • Rent collected in cash and noted in a register; by the 15th nobody is sure who still owes.
  • A resident who joined on the 20th is charged a full month, or none, depending on who did the maths.
  • The same bed is promised to two people because the room list is in someone's phone.
  • Property software is built for apartment blocks, not twelve rooms and forty beds.

How it works

  1. 1

    Set up rooms and beds

    Add rooms with the number of beds and a default rent per bed. The dashboard shows occupancy from the first admission.

  2. 2

    Admit and check out

    Admit a resident to a bed — the system refuses once a room is full — and check them out to free the bed for the next person.

  3. 3

    Collect rent and chase dues

    Record monthly rent, including part-payments; the balance never goes below zero. The dues list by month is correct for people who joined or left mid-way.

Nothing is changed in your ad accounts automatically: every recommendation is approved and applied by you, and drafted campaigns arrive paused.

What you get

  • Rooms with bed counts and a default rent per bed
  • Admissions that can never exceed the beds in a room, even under simultaneous requests; check-out frees the bed
  • Monthly rent payments with part-payments and no overpaying a month
  • Rent dues by month, correct for mid-month joiners and leavers
  • Dashboard with occupancy and rent collected against expected
  • Full PHP + MySQL source code on your own hosting; one-time purchase

A good fit if… and not if…

Good fit

  • PG houses and small hostels with one manager and a cash or UPI rent routine
  • Owners who want dues right every month without a subscription
  • Developers delivering a PG owner's first system

Not the right tool when

  • Online rent collection or automatic reminders
  • Electricity or meter billing, meal plans, or a resident login
  • Deposit refund tracking (the deposit is recorded as information only)

Questions pg & hostel owners ask

Does it collect rent online?

No. You record payments made by cash, UPI or transfer; there is no payment gateway in this edition.

How are mid-month joiners handled?

Dues are computed per month from the admission and check-out dates, so someone who joined or left mid-way is shown correctly rather than as a full month.

Can a resident log in to see dues?

No. This is an owner's tool with one administrator login.

Does it handle deposits?

The deposit is recorded as information on the resident; refunds are not tracked.

Can I run two buildings?

One installation per building, or a customisation — the source code is included.

Can I see it first?

Yes — preview pages with sample data.
