Frequently Asked Questions

Most luxury rentals include premium appliances, built-in wardrobes, and often come fully furnished. Some may include landscaping services or basic utilities. Always confirm what's included before signing a lease.

High-end properties typically require a security deposit of two to three months' rent. Some exclusive estates may also require additional deposits for amenities access or pet agreements.

Pet policies vary by property. Many gated communities allow pets with restrictions on size/breed and may require additional pet deposits ranging from Ksh 20,000 to Ksh 50,000.

Most landlords prefer minimum one-year leases for luxury properties. However, some may offer flexible terms (6 months+) especially in high-demand areas or during certain seasons.
