Frequently Asked Questions

Most landlords require a security deposit equivalent to one or two months' rent. For example, if the monthly rent is Ksh 40,000, you should budget Ksh 40,000-80,000 for the deposit.

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

The highest concentrations are near Katani along Mombasa Road, Tala area near the university, and newer developments along Masinga Road. These areas offer good access to Nairobi while maintaining lower rental prices.

Standard leases run for one year with option to renew. Some landlords offer flexible six-month terms at slightly higher rates. Breaking leases early typically requires finding a replacement tenant.

Pet policies vary. About 40% of properties allow pets (usually with additional deposit), while others prohibit them entirely. Always confirm the pet policy before committing to a rental.
