Maskan runs the whole tenancy: the offer, the contract, the post-dated cheques sitting in your drawer, the arrears nobody chased, and the statement the owner is waiting for. One record per unit, per tenant, per owner.
What Maskan covers
Nothing is bolted on. The lease that gets signed is the lease that generates the rent schedule, that the cheque is matched against, that the owner statement draws from.
Properties, buildings, units and ownership splits. A unit held by two owners apportions every figure correctly.
Enquiries, viewings and offers. Compare a twelve and a twenty-four month offer on what each earns per year, not the headline total.
Instalments and payments stay separate records joined by an allocation, which is the only honest way to record a part payment.
Received, stored, submitted, cleared or bounced. The ledger only moves on clearing.
Requests from tenants, work orders to contractors, and a spend limit that decides what needs the owner's word.
Rent collected, less costs, less the fee. Finalising locks the figures and versions the statement.
Post-dated cheques
Most systems treat a cheque as a payment the moment you take it. That is how a bounce three weeks later turns into a surprise, and how a tenant shows as paid while the money never arrived.

A cheque is not money until it clears

Arrears
Two hundred thousand outstanding is fine if it fell due yesterday and serious if it has been sitting for ninety days. Maskan ages every debt from the oldest unpaid instalment on the lease, so you chase the right tenant first.
The same applies to collection rate. Seventy-nine per cent is unremarkable on its own and alarming after three months at ninety-four, which is why the dashboard never shows the figure without the trend beside it.
Everyone in one system
Managers, accountants and maintenance staff see only what their role allows, enforced in the database rather than the interface.
Their properties, their statements, their empty units and what the vacancy has cost them.
Rent schedule, how to pay, receipts, repairs and the renewal offer when it comes.
Only the jobs assigned to them. Accept, arrive, finish.
Most Qatari agencies run on a rent sheet, a cheque drawer, a WhatsApp group and one person who remembers everything. It works until that person takes leave.

On Maskan
Every plan includes the full system. Larger plans raise the limits and add support, they do not unlock the parts you need to do the job.
