Frequently Asked Questions

Most landlords require a security deposit equivalent to one or two months' rent for newly-built houses in Ruiru. This is refundable at the end of your tenancy provided there's no damage to the property.

Typically no - most newly-built houses have separate utility meters where tenants pay directly to service providers. Some may include garbage collection fees in the rent. Always confirm what's included before signing a lease.

Check the completion certificate date from the developer/county government. Look for signs of recent construction like fresh paint smell, unused fittings and ask neighbors about when the development was finished.

Standard leases run for one year with break clauses after six months. Some landlords offer flexible terms (6-month leases) but may charge slightly higher rent for short-term agreements.

Policies vary by estate - some gated communities restrict pets while standalone new houses may allow them with an additional pet deposit (usually half month's rent). Always confirm before moving in.
