Frequently Asked Questions

In Nairobi's current market (2025), decent two bedroom houses range from Ksh 35,000 in more affordable areas like Ruiru to Ksh 80,000+ in prime locations like Kilimani. Middle-class neighborhoods typically offer good options between Ksh45,000-Ksh65,000.

Most two bedroom house rentals exclude utilities except possibly water. Tenants typically pay separately for electricity (prepaid meters), internet (if desired), and sometimes garbage collection. Always confirm what's included before signing.

Standard practice requires a refundable deposit of one month's rent for middle-class areas and often two months' rent in premium locations. This is held against damages and returned at lease end minus any legitimate deductions.

About half of Nairobi's rental properties allow pets with conditions. Look specifically for 'pet-friendly' listings or negotiate terms before signing. Gated communities often have clearer pet policies than standalone houses.

Key things to inspect: water pressure & heating functionality; electrical outlets; window/door security; plumbing condition; presence of mold/dampness; parking availability; noise levels; and proximity to public transport if needed.
