Mixed-use & G+ buildings
One system for shops, offices and apartments under one roof
The typical G+ building in Addis Ababa has shops on the ground floor, offices above and apartments at the top, each with different rents, cycles and expectations. AradaRent models the building the way it really is, floor by floor and unit by unit.
Updated:
Your building, modelled floor by floor
| Floor | Units | Typical terms |
|---|---|---|
| Ground (G) | Shops, café, pharmacy, bank branch | Higher rent, quarterly or annual billing, larger deposits |
| 1–3 | Offices | Company tenants, bank transfers, need for invoices and receipts |
| 4+ | Apartments | Monthly rent, Telebirr or cash, repair requests |
Every unit has its own type and lease, so each tenant is billed on its own terms while you still see one rent roll for the whole building.
What the owner sees
- Occupancy across the building and per floor
- Who has paid this cycle, who is late and how much is overdue
- Collections over time and income against building expenses
- Every repair, its status and what it cost
- A full history of every change, by whom and when
For family-owned buildings
Many buildings are owned by a family and run by one relative or a hired manager. With AradaRent the owner can see everything from anywhere, the manager runs the daily work, and the accountant handles payments, each with their own login and permissions.
Frequently asked questions
Can one building have shops, offices and apartments?
Yes. A property can be residential, commercial or mixed-use, and each unit has its own type, rent, deposit, billing cycle and late-fee rules.
What is a G+ building?
In Ethiopia, G+N describes a building with a ground floor plus N upper floors, for example G+4 or G+10. Many are mixed-use, which is why AradaRent supports different unit types and lease terms in one building.
Can the owner see the building remotely?
Yes. AradaRent is online, so the owner can check occupancy, payments, arrears and repairs from any phone or computer, including from abroad.
