Frequently Asked Questions

Church rentals in Kenya range from Ksh 30,000 per month for small chapels to over Ksh 500,000 monthly for large sanctuaries in prime locations. The average mid-sized church rents between Ksh 80,000-Ksh 200,000 per month.

Most church rentals offer flexible lease terms from 1-5 years. Short-term arrangements (6 months to 1 year) may be available but typically at higher monthly rates. Many landlords prefer longer commitments (2-5 years) with options to renew.

Usage terms vary by property. Most allow standard worship times (Sundays and midweek services). Some may restrict very late-night or early-morning activities. Special events often require advance notice but are generally permitted within reasonable hours.

Beyond monthly rent (typically exclusive of VAT), churches should budget for utilities (unless included), maintenance of specialized equipment, insurance coverage, security deposits (usually 2-3 months' rent), and possibly service charges for shared facilities.

Most landlords allow non-structural modifications like temporary religious symbols with prior approval. Permanent changes (stained glass, altars) typically require written consent. Any modifications must usually be restored at lease end unless otherwise agreed.
