Abstract
-
We are stuck with technology when what we reallywant is just stuff that works. With the current paradigm shift
intechnological field, there is an urgent need to embrace andappreciate the power of technology. Housing sector
remainsvigilant to face the challenges of change by employing a newstrategy that facilitates easy management
of rental houses. Hencethere is need to develop a rental house management system thatcan simplify work for the
rental managers so that all their workcan be efficient and effective.To get information about how rental houses
are currently being managed, I prepared questionnaires and submitted them toa number of rental house
managers and from the information Igathered I realized all work was done manually with a lot
of paper work involved. Papers can easily get damaged or get lostleading to loss of data. It is also expensive to
keep on buyingfiles to store your records. A lot of files make a place look untidyand also consume a lot of
space. Getting a certain file to checkdata from many files becomes a difficult task.Considering those facts, I
decided to develop a rental housemanagement system that can solve all the problems experiencedwith the
current manual system. The system was developed insuch manner that it provides maximum user friendly
interface.Once you the user logs in the system automatically show
three forms: houses form, rent payment form and tenants‟
registration form. Each form has several command buttons; new,save, cancel, delete, next, previous and exit.
With the command buttons you can manipulate the database. If you want to add datato the database all you need
to do is to click on new then inputdata in the textboxes provided then click save and the data willautomatically
be saved. If you want to view data in the databaseyou just click next or previous and the data will be displayed
foryou. When you click delete you will be able to delete a recordthat you desire. You may enter data then decide
to cancel it, it issimple click on cancel and it will be canceled.For manager faced with management difficulties
here is a perfect solution for you. The rental house management system ismade for you.I.
