Frequently Asked Questions

Most factory leases run for 2-5 years in Industrial Area, with some landlords offering shorter initial terms of 1 year for new businesses. Longer leases often come with better rental rates.
While most light to medium industries are permitted, some heavy industries may require special approvals. Certain hazardous materials processing may be restricted - always verify with both the landlord and NEMA before signing a lease.
Tenants typically pay separate service charges (Ksh 30-50/sqm), utilities (metered electricity/water), business rates to county government, and any specialized waste disposal costs. Budget an additional 15-25% above base rent for these expenses.
Most landlords allow reasonable modifications with prior written approval. Structural changes may require engineering certification. Tenants are usually responsible for restoring the space to original condition upon lease termination.
For vacant units, occupancy typically begins immediately after completing paperwork and paying deposits (1-2 weeks). If modifications are needed, allow additional time based on scope of work.
