Frequently Asked Questions

Unfurnished houses come with basic structural elements like built-in kitchen cabinets (in most units), bathroom fittings, interior doors, and window treatments. They exclude all movable furniture, appliances, curtains, and sometimes even light fixtures.
Unfurnished houses typically cost Ksh 5,000-10,000 less per month than comparable furnished units in the same area. For example, where a furnished 2-bedroom might rent for Ksh 30,000-35,000, its unfurnished counterpart would be Ksh 22,000-28,000.
Most landlords allow painting and minor modifications with prior approval. Major structural changes are generally prohibited. Always confirm modification policies before signing the lease.
Tenants typically pay all utilities including electricity (prepaid meters), water bills (often shared among units), garbage collection fees (Ksh 300-500/month), and any internet/TV subscriptions.
Immediate occupancy is usually possible since no furniture removal is needed. Most tenants complete the process within 3-7 days after paying the deposit and first month's rent.
