Frequently Asked Questions

Shop rents in Mombasa range from Ksh 30,000 per month for small units (100-200 sq ft) in less central areas to Ksh 500,000+ for premium retail spaces in malls or along major roads like Moi Avenue.

Most commercial landlords offer 2-5 year leases for retail spaces, with options to renew. Shorter terms may be available but often at higher monthly rates.

This varies by property. Mall units typically include common area maintenance charges but exclude individual shop utilities. Standalone shops usually require tenants to pay all utilities separately.

Most leases allow reasonable modifications with landlord approval. Major structural changes typically require written consent and may need to be restored at lease end.

Standard practice is 2-3 months' rent as refundable deposit. Some premium locations may require additional guarantees or bank references.
