  • Agency Fees: Typically one month's rent if using a broker

Frequently Asked Questions

Most landlords require a security deposit equivalent to one or two months' rent. This is refundable at the end of your tenancy provided there are no damages to the property.
This varies by property. Some upscale apartments include water and garbage collection in the rent. Electricity is almost always paid separately by tenants through prepaid meters. Always clarify what's included before signing a lease.
More budget-friendly apartment options can be found in areas like Donholm, Umoja and parts of Ngong Road where one-bedroom units start around Ksh 20,000 per month. These areas offer good value while still being accessible to the city center.
Standard residential leases run for one year with break clauses after six months. Some landlords offer shorter terms (3-6 months) at slightly higher rates. Commercial spaces often have longer lease terms of 2-3 years.
Check water pressure, electrical outlets, window seals and security features. Ask about maintenance response times and policies regarding repairs. Verify what appliances are included and their condition. Also inquire about parking arrangements if you own a vehicle.
