Registration, leases, NSFAS compliance, transport and a built-in AI assistant — run your entire residence from one place. No more WhatsApp chaos. No more paper files.
Nesta: 3 students need approval and 2 leases expire this month. Want me to flag the ones to call first?
Most student accommodation in Africa is still run on WhatsApp groups, paper leases and spreadsheets that never quite reconcile. When NSFAS audits land or a student needs proof of residence, the scramble begins.
Applications, complaints, room changes and payments scattered across a dozen group chats. Nothing is searchable, nothing is recorded.
Leases printed, signed, scanned and lost. Proof of residence letters typed one by one. Audit season becomes a fire drill.
Funding depends on clean records and compliant documentation. One missing letter can hold up a payment — and a student's place to stay.
Nestd brings the full life cycle of a student tenancy into a single, modern system. From the first scan of a QR code to a signed lease and a compliant proof of residence.
QR code or invite link — students register themselves. You approve with one tap. No forms to re-type, no data lost.
Use the Nestd lease template, fully customisable to your residence's terms. Students sign digitally, and every agreement is stored, versioned and instantly retrievable.
Produce NSFAS-ready proof of residence PDFs in a click — accurate, branded and audit-proof. No more typing letters one student at a time.
Per-property destination presets keep student transport organised and predictable — set it once for each residence, manage it from anywhere.
Nesta lives inside Nestd. Ask it anything — who still needs to sign, which leases expire this month, how many beds are open — and it answers from your live data. It summarises, surfaces and flags what needs your attention, so you spend less time digging and more time managing.
No long implementation, no consultants. Get your residence onto Nestd and feel the difference from week one.
Add your residence, rooms and team. Owner, admin and staff roles take minutes to configure.
Share a QR code or link. Students register themselves and you approve from your dashboard.
Send the lease, collect digital signatures, and keep every document in one searchable place.
Generate proof of residence and reports on demand. Let Nesta keep you ahead of deadlines.
NSFAS funds your residence directly — which means your records have to be clean, current and audit-ready at all times. Nestd is designed around that reality, so compliance stops being a scramble and becomes part of how you operate.
