Frequently Asked Questions

In 2025, rents range from Ksh 15,000 in more affordable areas like Mikindani to Ksh 40,000 in premium locations like Nyali. Most decent quality one bedroom houses fall between Ksh 20,000-30,000 per month.

Water is commonly included while electricity is usually paid separately based on meter readings. Some upscale developments may include both but charge higher base rents of Ksh 30,000+.

Landlords typically require a deposit equivalent to one or two months' rent. For a house renting at Ksh 25,000/month, expect to pay Ksh 25,000-50,000 as refundable deposit before moving in.

Some gated communities in Bamburi and Nyali allow pets with additional deposits (usually half month's rent). Always confirm pet policies before signing any lease agreement.

Check developments along the Mombasa-Malindi highway and in areas like Shanzu where several new projects are completing construction in early-mid 2025.
