Frequently Asked Questions

Most landlords require a security deposit equivalent to one or two months' rent. For example, if the monthly rent is Ksh 50,000, you would typically pay Ksh 50,000-100,000 as deposit.

This varies by property. About 60% of bungalow rentals exclude utilities (water and electricity), while some may include basic water charges. Always confirm what's included before signing the lease.

Standard lease terms range from one to two years for bungalows. Some landlords offer flexible six-month leases but may charge slightly higher monthly rates for shorter commitments.

Pet policies vary significantly. About half of standalone bungalows allow pets (often with additional deposit), while gated community bungalows may have stricter rules. Always verify the pet policy beforehand.

Approximately 40% of Kenyan bungalow rentals come fully furnished (with basic furniture and appliances), while others are semi-furnished or completely unfurnished. Specify your preference when searching.

Key things to inspect: water pressure and heating system functionality; condition of roofing (common issue); drainage around the property; security features; and any signs of pest infestation - especially important in ground-level homes.
