Home rent management system

ABSTARCT :

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. With the current paradigm shift in technological field, there is an urgent need to embrace and appreciate the power of technology. Housing sector remains vigilant to face the challenges of change by employing a new strategy that facilitates easy management of rental houses. Hence there is need to develop a rental house management system that can simplify work for the rental managers so that all their work can be efficient and effective. To get information about how rental houses are currently being managed, I prepared questionnaires and submitted them to a number of rental house managers and from the information I gathered I realized all work was done manually with a lot of paper work involved. Papers can easily get damaged or get lost leading to loss of data. It is also expensive to keep on buying files to store your records. A lot of files make a place look untidy and also consume a lot of space. Getting a certain file to check data from many files becomes a difficult task. Considering those facts, I decided to develop a rental house management system that can solve all the problems experienced with the current manual system. The system was developed in such manner that it provides maximum user friendly interface. Once you the user logs in the system automatically show three forms: houses form, rent payment form and tenants? registration form. Each form has several command buttons; new, save, cancel, delete, next, previous and exit. With the command buttons you can manipulate the database. If you want to add data to the database all you need to do is to click on new then input data in the textboxes provided then click save and the data will automatically be saved. If you want to view data in the database you just click next or previous and the data will be displayed for you. When you click delete you will be able to delete a record that you desire. You may enter data then decide to cancel it, it is simple click on cancel and it will be canceled. For manager faced with management difficulties here is a perfect solution for you. The rental house management system is made for you.

EXISTING SYSTEM :

? The existing system only provides text based interface which is not as user friendly as Graphical user interface. Since the system is implemented manually, the response is very slow. ? Currently the most property managers manage property and tenants details on papers. ? Once customers finds a vacant house, they can call or email manager of the houses indicating the size of the house they would like rented to them. ? The property manager can email them back giving them all the details about the house they are requesting.

DISADVANTAGE :

? With the current system recording the details of various activities of user is completely manual and entails a lot of paper work. ? Each house has a file that contains the house: number, size, rent per month, expected deposit, occupant and status. Rent payment table contains tenants: first name, last name, Phone number, date of payment, amount and balance if any. ? The transactions are not secure as papers may get lost or damaged. Hence, there is need of reformation of the system with more advantages and flexibility. ? The system eliminates most of the limitations of the existing system.

PROPOSED SYSTEM :

• It outlines how data will be collected and the tools for collecting data, system methodology, the proposed system input and output, users and systems development tools. • The conceptual design phase provided a description of the proposed system in terms of a set of integrated ideas and concepts about what it was to do, behave and look like, that was understandable by the users in the manner intended. • The purpose of the system testing is to consider all the likely variations to which it will be suggested and push the systems to limits. • System development methodology is a technique that is used to show how the proposed system will be developed.

ADVANTAGE :

? Developing rental houses comes with many advantages especially to the Landlords who are able to increase their profits through rent paid by the tenants. ? The transactions are not secure as papers may get lost or damaged. Hence, there is need of reformation of the system with more advantages and flexibility. The system eliminates most of the limitations of the existing system. ? There is need to develop a rental house management system that can simplify work for the rental managers so that all their work can be efficient and effective. ? However, the efficiency of these strategies has been limited by ambivalent government attitude to irregular settlement.
