MT Apartment Management App: Every Feature for Building Charge Management

An apartment management app should make a building manager's life simpler, not harder — and that is exactly what MT Apartment Management was built to do. It is a complete, privacy-first app for building expense management and service-charge splitting that keeps every record on your own device, works offline, and turns hours of manual accounting into a few taps. In this guide we walk through every feature, from the smallest convenience to the biggest time-saver.

Why you need an apartment management app

Running a building on paper or in a spreadsheet gets messy fast. Calculating each unit's share, chasing unpaid dues, messaging residents the amount they owe, and keeping a reliable payment history all eat up time and invite mistakes.

A good building charge management tool automates the whole cycle: you enter a cost once, the app splits it accurately, generates a ready-to-send message with the breakdown and card number, and always shows you who has paid and who still owes. MT Apartment Management is designed around this exact workflow.

Manage multiple buildings, units and residents

You can manage several buildings at once, each with its own address and notes. For every unit you store complete details: resident name, mobile number, bank card number, number of occupants, unit number, floor, and whether the resident is an owner or a tenant.

The app supports a combined owner-and-tenant model, so for a rented unit you can record the owner separately and decide, per cost item, whether it is the owner's or the resident's responsibility — and the message goes to the right person. Each unit also keeps a resident history, and a dedicated move-out settlement option makes handovers painless.

Expense invoices and smart charge-splitting

The heart of the app is the expense invoice. A single invoice can hold several cost items with ready-made categories such as water, electricity, gas, cleaning, repairs, elevator, service charge, insurance and miscellaneous, each with an optional note.

For splitting building costs you get four flexible methods: equal split between units, split by number of occupants, split by floor area, and a manual share where you set each unit's weight or amount yourself. You can even choose which units a specific item applies to — for example, charging the elevator only to upper floors.

If one unit paid a cost out of pocket, the app credits that person and routes everyone else's share to their card. While building an invoice you see a live preview of each unit's share and the amount spelled out in words, so you can confirm everything before saving.

Fixed monthly charges, invoice copying and templates

Most buildings have a fixed monthly service charge. You can define it for the whole building or per unit and issue each month's charge invoice with one tap; if you forget, the home screen reminds you.

For recurring costs, every invoice has a "copy to next month" option that preserves the items, included units and split method. You can also save frequent invoices as templates and generate a new invoice from a template any time — so you never start a month from scratch.

Building fund and transparent cash flow

A favorite feature is the building fund. Its balance is calculated automatically: collections from units plus manual deposits, minus costs paid from the fund and manual withdrawals. A full fund-ledger screen keeps every inflow and outflow transparent and traceable.

Alongside it, you can record manual debits and credits for any unit outside of invoices — for items that don't fit a normal invoice but still need to appear in a unit's balance.

Payment tracking, partial payments and debtor reminders

Every unit has a payment checkbox per invoice that you can toggle on or off. To read invoice status at a glance, invoices are color-coded: red for unpaid, orange for partial, blue for ready-to-settle and green for settled — with a status icon next to the color for high-contrast readability.

If a resident pays in installments, you log a partial payment with history and the invoice progress bar fills by amount paid. In the reminders section, the app lists overdue debtors against an adjustable threshold, and one button sends a reminder message to all debtors at once.

Ready-made SMS with breakdown and card number

One of the most tedious manager tasks is telling residents how much they owe. This app generates a ready-made text message for each unit containing the per-item breakdown, the total, and your card number, then sends it through your phone's own messaging app. The manager's own unit is automatically excluded so you don't message yourself.

Reports, charts and Excel export

For professional management, the big picture matters. The report screen shows a 12-month bar chart of expenses and a donut chart of category shares, while the home dashboard gathers total outstanding dues, top debtors, the month's invoices and reminders in one place.

You can export a building report as CSV (Excel), including invoice-by-unit, category-by-month and unit-balance tables — ready for a board meeting or your archive whenever you need it.

Handy tools that save you time

The app is full of practical touches. Bill barcode scanning (on mobile and Mac) auto-fills the bill ID, payment ID and amount so you never type them by hand. Inside each invoice you can attach a payment receipt photo as proof.

A service-provider directory lets you save and search the numbers of plumbers, electricians, cleaners and other contractors by specialty. You can store several bank cards with account names and pick a default, and an in-app support ticket system plus in-app updates keep you covered.

Privacy, local database and backups

Unlike many online services, MT Apartment Management stores your data only on your own device and needs no server for day-to-day use — complete privacy for your building's finances. The local database is built on SQLite and is very fast.

To move data between devices or keep a safe copy, you can create a JSON backup and share it. Restoring uses a safe merge, so existing data is never lost. For people who work across multiple devices, optional cloud sync quietly keeps changes aligned automatically.

Cross-platform with a polished interface

This is a cross-platform apartment management app: Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux and even the web. The interface uses a clean, readable design with light and dark themes, larger text and high-contrast options, and on desktop it adds a two-column layout, a navigation rail and global search with Ctrl/Cmd+K. Deleting an invoice or unit even comes with an undo button, so a mistake is easy to reverse.

Language and region availability

The app ships with a fully right-to-left Persian interface, a Solar Hijri (Jalali) calendar, amounts spelled out in Persian, local bank-card fields and local-bill barcode scanning, which makes it an excellent fit for managers in Iran and Persian-speaking communities. Because data is local and no internet is required for daily work, there is no worry about service outages or regional restrictions. The interface is currently Persian-first.

Frequently asked questions

Does this apartment management app need the internet?

No. All data is stored locally on your device and the app needs no internet for day-to-day building management. Cloud sync is only an optional feature for those working across multiple devices.

How are building charges split between units?

You have four methods: equal, by number of occupants, by floor area, and a manual share. For each cost item you can also pick exactly which units it applies to, so the calculation stays fair.

Can I text residents the amount they owe?

Yes. The app builds a ready-made message for each unit with the breakdown, total and card number, and sends it through your phone's own messaging app.

Will I lose my data if I change my phone?

No. Create a backup file and restore it on the new device; the restore uses a safe merge, so previous data is preserved.

Does it run on a computer too?

Yes. Windows, macOS and Linux builds are available alongside Android, iOS and web, with extras like global search and a two-column layout on desktop.

MT Apartment Management is a complete, hassle-free apartment management app that brings everything into one place — from registering units and smartly splitting charges to the building fund, debtor tracking, ready-made messages, visual reports and safe backups.
