Built for all 10 regions of Cameroon. Discover and manage property wherever you are.
The problem
Finding and managing rental property shouldn't be this difficult.
Scattered WhatsApp listings, agents with a limited audience, repeated phone calls, difficult property discovery, and maintenance complaints that get lost in a chat thread. Yanda brings the rental journey together in one platform.
Why it works
Keep the collection honest.
Yanda doesn't replace your caretaker. It gives every payment a paper trail that doesn't depend on trusting anyone blind.
See how it worksNo more guessing
See who's paid this month without a phone call across time zones. The rent roll updates itself.
Learn more →Proof for every payment
Every Mobile Money payment gets a digital receipt a caretaker can't misplace or a renter can't dispute.
Learn more →One dashboard, any timezone
The same live view whether you're checking in from Douala or from Paris at midnight.
Learn more →How it works
From empty unit to paid rent.
One app for the whole tenancy, whether the renter is next door or the owner is on another continent.
List
Owners add their buildings and units and invite caretakers. Owners and house agents publish vacant units to the marketplace.
Match
Home seekers search by location, price and type and book viewings. Owners and agents handle the requests, and the right one becomes a tenancy.
Manage
Renters record each rent payment, the landlord confirms it and a digital receipt is issued. Maintenance requests and messages stay in one place.

FAQ
Renting in Cameroon, answered.
What is Yanda?
Yanda is one app for renting in Cameroon. Home seekers discover houses, apartments, studios and rooms, book viewings and message owners and agents directly. Landlords manage their buildings, units, tenants, caretakers, rent records and maintenance from a single dashboard.
Is Yanda free for people looking for a home?
Yes. Browsing homes for rent on Yanda is free. Download the app on iPhone or Android, search by location, price and property type, and save the listings you like.
Where in Cameroon can I find homes on Yanda?
You can search listings in all ten regions of Cameroon, including Douala in the Littoral and Yaoundé in the Centre, and narrow results down by city.
What kinds of property are listed?
Rooms, studios, apartments and shops. Each listing shows the monthly rent, the caution (deposit), the location and photos, and many include a short walkthrough video.
How do I list my property for rent?
Owners add their buildings and units in the app, then publish vacant units to the marketplace. House agents can list properties too and manage viewing requests from the people who are already looking.
Can landlords manage tenants and rent with Yanda?
Yes. Renters record each rent payment, the landlord confirms it and a digital receipt is issued. Caretakers log cash collections, and maintenance requests and messages stay in one place, so owners abroad see the same numbers as the people on the ground.
Is Yanda available in French?
Yes. The app works in both English and French, and you can switch language at any time from your profile.
