Managing rental properties in Durban isn’t easy. From burst geysers to broken tiles, landlords face constant maintenance challenges—and unreliable handymen only make things worse.
That’s why smart landlords across Durban are switching to Mendify, a subscription-based home maintenance service that’s changing the game.
The Problem with Traditional Maintenance
Most landlords rely on call-out handymen who:
- Show up late (or not at all)
- Charge unpredictable fees
- Do poor-quality work
- Leave tenants frustrated
And when you manage multiple properties, these issues multiply—costing you time, money, and tenant trust.
Mendify: The Smarter Alternative
Mendify offers monthly subscription plans that give landlords access to verified handymen, scheduled repairs, and transparent pricing.
Plans:
- R149/month – Covers up to R5000/year
- R199/month – Covers up to R7500/year
- R299/month (Gold) – Covers up to R8000/year
Each plan includes:
One-off call-outs Pre-inspections No hidden fees 3-month waiting period to prevent abuse
