Frequently Asked Questions

Most landlords prefer minimum lease terms of 2-3 years for hospitality properties, with options to renew. Boutique hotels often have longer commitments of 3-5 years due to higher tenant improvement costs.
This depends on the specific property zoning and landlord requirements. Many mixed-use developments allow F&B operations but may require separate NEMA and public health approvals. Always verify before signing the lease.
Expect to pay: service charges (Ksh50-150/sq ft), utilities (separately metered), business permits from Nairobi County (approx. Ksh15,000 annually), insurance (1-2% of property value), and staff costs.
Subletting rights vary by lease agreement. Some landlords permit it with prior approval and proper documentation of sub-tenants. Others prohibit it entirely to maintain property standards.
For turnkey properties: immediate occupation is possible after paying deposit and first month's rent. For spaces requiring renovations: allow 1-3 months depending on scope of works (subject to landlord approval).
