Why Tally Falls Short for Community and Rental Management
For decades, Tally has been a go-to accounting tool for small businesses. It excels at managing invoices, taxes, and inventory—ideal for trading and retail businesses. But when it comes to Owners Association Management, community living, or rental property management, Tally simply doesn’t cover all the needs.
Here’s what Tally can’t do (or only with manual workarounds):
- It won’t auto-remind tenants to pay rent.
- It can’t track lease expiry dates.
- It doesn’t support maintenance ticketing or helpdesks.
- It lacks resident apps for payments or communication.
- It doesn’t manage assets, enforce community rules, or support committee collaboration.

Real Scenario: 50-Unit Building in Dubai
With Tally (and other generic accounting tools):
- You manually create rent invoices for each tenant every month.
- Reminders to tenants? You’re probably sending those via WhatsApp or email — and tracking who paid becomes chaotic.
- Lease details like start/end dates, deposits, and renewals are stored in spreadsheets — easy to miss, hard to update.
- At the end of the month, reconciling payments means manually comparing your bank statement with your invoices.
It’s slow, disconnected, and prone to errors.
- Rent invoices are created and sent out automatically on schedule.
- Tenants receive instant reminders through SMS, app notifications, or email — no manual chasing.
- Lease expiries, defaulters, and deposit records are tracked in real-time on a single dashboard.
- Bank payments are synced automatically; reconciliation is just a click away.
- You also get downloadable reports formatted for RERA/Mollak compliance.
With ADDA:
The result? Less admin, fewer mistakes, and a smoother experience for both you and your tenants.
