Frequently Asked Questions

Most landlords require a security deposit equivalent to 2-3 months' rent for commercial properties. This is refundable at the end of the lease term provided there are no damages or outstanding payments.

Typically no - most commercial rents exclude utilities like electricity and water. Tenants pay these directly to service providers. Some buildings may include common area maintenance in a separate service charge (usually Ksh 50-150 per square meter monthly).

Standard lease terms range from 1-5 years in Kenya. Shorter terms (1-2 years) are more common for smaller spaces while larger offices often have minimum 3-year leases. Many landlords offer renewal options upon expiration.

Most landlords allow tenant improvements but require written approval first. Major structural changes typically need owner consent while cosmetic changes may be permitted. Any permanent improvements usually become property of the landlord at lease end.

Standard access is Monday-Friday from 7am-6pm and Saturdays until 1pm in most buildings. After-hours access may require special arrangements. Some business complexes allow extended hours for an additional fee.
