Services · Mobile app development · Property management apps
Codeeo handles property management app development in Riyadh for landlords, family offices and management companies that rent out apartments, villas, shops and offices. Ejar contracts, rent collection, maintenance requests, owner statements and a tenant portal run from one system, built around the five year rent freeze that REGA applied to the Riyadh urban area in September 2025, so every renewal and relet is checked against the rules before it goes out.
Our team works from a Riyadh office, so discovery sessions, design reviews and staff training can happen at your premises in Olaya, King Abdullah Financial District or wherever your leasing team sits, alongside the video calls that keep the build moving week to week.

What the app covers
Most Riyadh portfolios we hear about mix newer apartment blocks in the northern districts such as Al Malqa, Al Narjis, Hittin and Al Yasmin with older buildings closer to the centre, plus a few retail units or office floors. Each type has different lease terms, different tenants and different maintenance problems. The rent freeze added another layer: a vacant unit that was let before is tied to the value on its last Ejar contract, while escalation clauses signed before the freeze date are handled differently. Rather than relying on a spreadsheet and memory, the app holds that history against each unit and warns your leasing team before an offer breaks the rules. Below are the modules we usually scope for a Riyadh landlord, listed roughly in the order we would build them.
Every building, floor and unit sits in one register with its current tenant, its Ejar contract number, start and end dates and the rent value recorded on each past contract. Leasing staff open a unit and see its full contract trail, which matters in Riyadh because the last registered value now governs what a vacant unit can be relet for.
Anyone on the team can answer what a unit may be let for, with the record to prove it.
When an agent drafts a renewal or a new offer, the system compares the proposed rent with the unit's Ejar history and the freeze rules you confirm with your legal adviser. Offers that would raise rent are flagged before they reach the tenant, and exceptions need a named approver.
Fewer accidental breaches and a clear audit trail if a tenant complains.
Tenants sign in, see their contract summary, upcoming instalments, receipts and open requests, and download documents they need for government services. Arabic is designed first with right to left layouts, and English sits alongside for the many expatriate professionals renting in the capital.
Tenants find answers themselves instead of calling the leasing office.
Residential rent in Saudi Arabia must be paid through digital channels, so the app tracks each instalment against Ejar's mada and SADAD routes and the payments landing in your bank. Commercial tenants can pay by transfer or card, and late instalments trigger reminders on a schedule you set.
Finance sees who has paid without chasing receipts on WhatsApp.
Tenants report a fault with photos and a preferred visiting window. The request is routed to your in house technicians or a contractor by district and trade, so a plumber already working in Al Yasmin picks up the next job nearby rather than crossing the city in traffic.
Faster repairs and fewer wasted trips across Riyadh.
Management companies acting for several owners get monthly statements per owner: rent received, arrears, maintenance spend, management fees and net amounts due, with the invoices attached. Owners can view them in their own login instead of waiting for an emailed spreadsheet.
Owners trust the numbers because they can see the detail behind them.
Office floors and shops in districts such as Olaya and along King Fahd Road carry VAT, unlike residential rent. The app issues invoices that meet ZATCA e-invoicing requirements through your accounting system or a certified provider, and keeps commercial terms such as fit out periods and service charges on the lease record.
Commercial billing stays compliant without a separate manual process.
A board shows contracts ending in the coming months, tenants who have given notice and units already vacant. Agents log viewings and offers, and the system prompts the renewal notice early enough for both sides to act under the current lease renewal rules.
Fewer empty months between tenants.
Lifts, chillers, water tanks, pumps and fire safety equipment each get a service calendar, the contractor responsible and the inspection documents on file. For landlords who asked us about building management app development in Riyadh, this module is usually the starting point, because summer heat puts cooling plant under heavy load and a missed service shows up as a wave of tenant complaints.
Planned work replaces emergency call outs in the hottest months.
Occupancy, collections, arrears ageing and maintenance response times by building and by district, exported for board meetings or for a lender. Family offices with property spread across north and east Riyadh see the whole picture in one view.
Decisions about which buildings need attention rest on current figures.
Who this is for
A rental app only pays back when it replaces work your team does by hand today. In Riyadh that work tends to cluster around contract history, collections and repairs, and it looks a little different depending on who owns the buildings and who rents them. Tenant management app development in Riyadh is rarely about the tenant screens alone; the office tools behind them carry most of the value. These are the four situations we see most often. If yours is a blend, which is common, discovery sorts out which parts belong in the first version and which can wait for a later release.
Many Riyadh portfolios grew one building at a time and are still managed by a small team using spreadsheets, a shared phone and a trusted maintenance contractor. The rent freeze made that harder, because every relet now depends on a contract history that may sit in old files. We help move the portfolio into one register, connect it to Ejar records and give the family a clear monthly view without adding headcount.
The register usually comes first, before any tenant facing feature.
When you manage units for dozens of individual owners, the hard part is reporting: who paid, what was spent, what is owed to whom. Our rental property management app development in Riyadh for these firms centres on owner logins, per owner statements and approval of repair spend above a limit each owner sets, so you spend less time answering owner calls.
Commercial tenants expect formal invoices, clear service charge breakdowns and fast response on air conditioning and access issues. With many companies setting up regional headquarters in the capital, demand for well run office space is steady. We build tenant company accounts with several authorised contacts, VAT invoicing and a facilities request flow suited to office floors.
Developers who hold completed towers as rental stock need a handover from sales mode to leasing mode: unit snag lists, first tenant onboarding, warranty defects tracked separately from routine repairs. We plan the app so defect claims go back to the contractor while tenant requests go to your maintenance team.
Keeps warranty costs off your maintenance budget.
Working with us
Most landlords begin with a fixed scope first release covering the unit register, rent tracking and maintenance, then move to a monthly retainer for improvements once tenants are using it. Larger management companies sometimes take a dedicated team that stays with the product. Because 80+ people work across our Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi offices, the Riyadh team can meet you face to face while design and engineering scale behind them. Cost depends mostly on how many user types you need, how many systems the app connects to and how much historical data must be cleaned. A short paid discovery phase is often the cheapest way to get a reliable estimate, because it replaces assumptions about your data and integrations with facts.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We choose cross platform or native mobile frameworks and a web admin based on your team and your existing accounting or ERP system, with hosting in a region that fits your data protection obligations. Push notifications, document storage and payment gateways are picked for their support of Arabic content and Saudi payment methods, and nothing is chosen that your own IT staff could not take over later.

03Marketing and tracking
It depends on scope and on the state of your existing records.
A first release with the unit register, rent tracking and maintenance requests is far quicker than a full platform with owner portals and commercial invoicing. The biggest variable we see in Riyadh is data: if past Ejar contracts and rent values are scattered, cleaning them takes time but is essential under the rent freeze. We agree the timeline in discovery, write it into the plan and review it at each release, rather than promising a date before we have seen your files.
