Bari bhara: a landlord's guide to renting in Bangladesh

Bari bhara (বাড়ি ভাড়া) is house rent in Bangladesh, and managing it well means handling five things: invoicing, advances (jamanat), payments, utilities, and — increasingly — tenant safety. This guide covers each, and how a Bangla-first app turns the monthly cycle from a chore into a routine.

The monthly rent cycle, in order

Invoice on a set date, per door, in Bangla. Collect by bKash, Nagad, bank or cash with photo proof. Split utilities — electricity, water, gas, service charges — per unit. Track dues and advances against each tenant. Then report: who paid, who owes, across every building you manage.

From bookkeeping to safety

Rent in Bangladesh isn't only money — it's who you let through your gate. Beyond the ledger, the next step is knowing your tenants: NID checks, trust badges, and the police house-information form. That's the arc BharaKhata is built on — হিসাব রাখা থেকে নিরাপত্তা, from bookkeeping to safety.

Start with BharaKhata — free for tenants

Free up to 4 tenants, then from ৳200/month. Pay with bKash or Nagad.
