Frequently Asked Questions

Most landlords require a security deposit equivalent to one month's rent for standard two bedroom houses. In prime areas or luxury properties, you may be asked for two months' rent as deposit.

This varies by property. About half of Kenyan rentals include water charges but exclude electricity. Always confirm what utilities are included before signing the lease agreement.

Pet policies vary widely. Gated communities often allow pets with additional deposits (typically Ksh10,000-Ksh20,000). When searching listings specifically ask about pet policies as they're rarely advertised.

Most residential leases run for one year with break clauses after six months. Short-term rentals (3-6 months) typically cost about +15% more than annual leases.

While not required (about half of rentals are direct from landlords), using a registered agent ensures proper documentation and helps navigate tenancy laws. Agent fees are usually one month's rent.
