Frequently Asked Questions

The most affordable options are bedsitters (studio units) starting at Ksh 15,000/month and shared houses where you rent a single room. Older apartment buildings also offer good value.

Most budget rentals charge utilities separately. Expect to pay Ksh 3,000-5,000 monthly extra for water and electricity. Some may include basic water but exclude electricity.

Kongowea and Mkomani offer the lowest prices while still being safe. Areas further from the beach like behind City Mall often have better deals than beachfront properties.

Most landlords require 1 month's rent as deposit for bedsitters and small units, while larger apartments may require 2 months' rent deposit plus the first month's payment upfront.

Watch for service charges (especially in gated communities), garbage collection fees (typically Ksh 500-1000/month), and potential agent fees equal to one month's rent if you use a broker.
