Hostel management software for India

For student and working-professional hostels with many beds, strict notice periods and lots of questions.

HAUS is hostel management software for India. It maps every floor, room and bed, keeps each resident's KYC and college ID in their profile, tracks rent month by month, and gives residents a web app for payments, complaints and notices. One hostel with up to 15 beds is free; larger hostels pay ₹29 per bed per month.

Why hostels use HAUS

  • See every bed: occupied, vacant and overdue at a glance, across floors and rooms.
  • Documents in one place: residents upload Aadhaar (stored masked), PAN, passport or college ID themselves, and you review them.
  • Notices that reach everyone: post to the whole hostel. Residents see it in their app and by email.
  • Complaints with photos: assign them to your staff and close them when fixed.
  • Clean exits: notice period, pending dues and deposit refund worked out for each move-out.

Everything included

  • Bed map: Every property, floor, room and bed, with who is where and which beds are vacant.
  • Rent roll: Month-by-month dues per tenant, partial payments, and charges such as electricity, maintenance or meals.
  • UPI payments to you: Residents pay your own UPI ID or QR code. HAUS never holds the money and takes no commission. They add the UPI reference, you confirm it, and an email receipt goes out.
  • Tenant web app: No download. Residents log in with Google or a one-time link, see their dues, pay, upload KYC, raise issues and sign their agreement.
  • KYC documents: Aadhaar, PAN, passport, driving licence, voter ID or college ID. Aadhaar is stored masked, with only the last 4 digits kept.
  • Rent agreements: Leave & licence agreements generated from the tenant's details, signed by you, then e-signed by the tenant with a drawn signature and an email code. Both get the PDF.
  • Issue tracker: Residents raise issues with photos. You assign them to staff, move them to in progress and mark them fixed.
  • Announcements: Post to one property or all of them. Residents see it in their app and can get it by email.
  • Move-out settlement: Residents request move-out in the app. HAUS works out notice, pending dues and the deposit refund for you to approve.
  • WhatsApp reminders: One tap opens WhatsApp with the amount due and the tenant's app link already written. You press send.

On the way, not live yet: automatic WhatsApp reminders, UPI AutoPay, staff attendance, expense tracking and a monthly P&L.
