Our story

Built in Kigali, for Rwanda.

Renting in Rwanda has too often meant chasing fake listings on social media, paying brokers for unclear results, or signing leases without legal clarity. Umutuzo exists to change that.

Every property on our platform is physically verified by a local agent. Every tenant is identity-checked. Every payment is in RWF, traceable, and supported by standard contracts that protect both sides.

All 30 districts of Rwanda — from Kigali City (Gasabo, Nyarugenge, Kicukiro) to the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western provinces, including Musanze, Rubavu, Huye, and Nyagatare.
How do tenants pay rent on Umutuzo?
All payments are made in Rwandan Francs (RWF) through MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, or card via Flutterwave's secure checkout, so every transaction is traceable.
