PG & hostel management

Run your PG without the spreadsheet chaos.

StayHive keeps every room, tenant, rent payment, and expense in one place — so you always know who owes what, and what your property actually earns.

Invite-only right now — reach out and we'll get you set up.

Built on AWS infrastructure
ID documents stored privately
Tenant history never deleted

Rent tracked in a notebook

You find out someone's three months behind only when you go looking. No one flags it for you.

Who's actually staying where?

Tenant records live across WhatsApp chats, a register, and memory — never in one place you can trust.

No idea what you're earning

Rent collected minus vegetables, electricity, and staff salary — nobody's added it up this month.

ID proofs, scattered or missing

Aadhaar and PAN photos live in a phone gallery somewhere — if anyone thought to take one at all.

Everything in one place

Built for how a PG actually runs

Not a generic property tool bolted on afterward — every screen matches the way you already manage rooms, tenants, and rent.

01 — Rooms & beds

Every bed accounted for, automatically

Add a room and set its capacity — StayHive generates every bed inside it. No manual numbering, no separate spreadsheet to keep in sync.

  • Vacant vs. occupied at a glance, per room or across every property
  • Edit a room's capacity later without losing tenant history
  • Tap any vacant bed to assign a tenant right there

02 — Tenants & ID

Move-in details, captured properly

Assign a tenant to a bed and capture their Aadhaar or PAN photo on the spot. It's stored privately and pulled up instantly whenever you need it.

  • Name, phone, ID number, and photo — all against one bed
  • Checkout keeps the record — nothing is ever deleted
  • Search any tenant by name across your whole portfolio

Rent that chases itself

StayHive generates each month's due automatically for every active tenant. Mark it collected in one tap — and see who's overdue before they have to tell you.

  • Monthly dues created automatically — nothing to set up
  • Overdue rent flagged on your dashboard, not buried in a register
  • Full payment history per tenant, by month

04 — Expenses

See what it actually costs to run

Log vegetables, groceries, electricity, staff salary, and maintenance as they happen. StayHive breaks it down by category and by property, so profit isn't a guess.

  • Seven categories built in, from groceries to maintenance
  • Compare spend across properties, not just totals
  • Rent collected minus real costs — the number that matters
Expenses this month
Groceries₹6,400
Electricity₹4,200
Staff salary₹12,000
Maintenance₹1,800
And everything else

The rest of the day-to-day, covered

Staff on record

Cooks, helpers, and security — with contact details, ID, and salary — tracked the same way as tenants.

Real photos, every listing

Upload a handful of photos per property so a room actually looks like a room, not a blank listing.

One dashboard, every property

Run one PG or twenty — occupancy, rent, and expenses roll up into a single view.

Built to stay fast

Search, filters, and pagination throughout, so it stays quick even with thousands of records.

How it works

Set up once, run it in minutes a day

No spreadsheets to migrate, no training required — if you can use WhatsApp, you can use this.

01

List your property

Add your PG's details — location, rent, amenities, gender category — and a few photos.

02

Add rooms

Set each room's capacity and StayHive builds out the beds for you, ready to fill.

03

Move tenants in

Assign each tenant to a bed with their details and ID proof. History stays intact after they leave.

04

Track rent & costs

Mark rent collected, log expenses as they happen, and check your dashboard for the real picture.

Trust & reliability

Your data, handled properly

The unglamorous stuff, done right.

Private by default

Aadhaar and PAN photos are stored in access-controlled storage and only ever shown to you, never made public.

Serverless AWS infrastructure

No single server to go down — the same cloud infrastructure large platforms run on, sized for a PG business.

Nothing gets deleted by accident

Checking out a tenant or removing staff keeps the record. Deleting a property is blocked while it still has data.

Built to grow with you

Whether you run one PG or manage a portfolio, every list, search, and dashboard is built to stay fast as it grows.

FAQ

Questions owners actually ask

StayHive is invite-only while we roll it out. Send a note through "Get in touch" and we'll set your account up directly — no self-service signup yet.

Yes — one account covers every property you own. The dashboard, search, and reports work across all of them at once, or filtered down to just one.

Nothing is deleted. Checkout just records a move-out date — the full stay, payment history, and ID proof stay on file for as long as you need them.

No. StayHive is a tool for you as the owner — tenants don't need an account, an app, or to do anything differently.

Yes. Everything is stored the moment you enter it — there's nothing that expires or needs periodic maintenance to keep working.
