Frequently Asked Questions

Most furnished rentals include living room furniture (sofas, coffee tables), dining sets, bedroom furniture (beds with mattresses), kitchen appliances (refrigerator, stove), curtains/blinds, and basic lighting fixtures. Higher-end properties may include electronics like TVs.

This varies by property. About 40% of landlords include water charges only. Electricity is usually paid separately by tenants through prepaid meters. Some luxury villas may include all utilities at higher rental rates.

Most landlords prefer minimum one-year leases for stability. However, some accept shorter terms (6 months) at slightly higher monthly rates. Corporate rentals may offer more flexible terms.

Negotiation is possible especially during low season (April-June). Typical discounts range from Ksh 5,000-Ksh 15,000 off asking price. Longer lease commitments often secure better rates.

Pet policies vary by property. About half of landlords allow small pets with additional deposit (usually Ksh 10,000-Ksh 20,000). Gated communities often have stricter rules about pet sizes and breeds.
