Frequently Asked Questions

Most landlords require a security deposit equivalent to 2-3 months' rent for office spaces in Nairobi. This is refundable at lease end minus any deductions for damages.

Serviced offices usually include utilities while traditional leases often charge them separately. Always confirm whether quotes are inclusive or exclusive of VAT and service charges (typically Ksh 50-150/sqft monthly).

Standard leases run for 2-5 years with break clauses. Serviced offices offer more flexibility with daily, weekly or monthly terms. Rent reviews typically occur annually with 5-10% increases.

Subletting requires landlord approval per most lease agreements. Serviced offices often allow desk sharing without restrictions but may charge nominal administration fees.

All businesses require a single business permit from Nairobi County Government (approx. Ksh 10,000-50,000 annually). Your landlord should provide a compliance certificate for the building.
