Frequently Asked Questions

Fully furnished rentals include all major furniture (beds, sofas, dining sets), kitchen appliances (refrigerator, cooker), curtains/lighting fixtures, and often additional amenities like TVs or washing machines. Some high-end properties may include smart home systems.

Most landlords require a security deposit equivalent to one or two months' rent. For luxury properties (Ksh 250k+), two months' deposit is standard. This is refundable at lease end minus any damages.

Pet policies vary by property. About 40% of gated communities allow pets (usually with size restrictions), often requiring an additional pet deposit of Ksh 15,000-30,000. Always confirm before signing the lease.

Most furnished rentals offer flexible terms from six months to two years. Short-term corporate leases (3-6 months) are available at a premium (10-20% higher rent). Annual leases typically offer the best rates.

Basic maintenance is usually covered by the landlord through estate management. However, tenants typically handle minor repairs under Ksh 5,000 unless caused by normal wear-and-tear.
