Frequently Asked Questions

Most luxury rentals require a minimum one-year lease, though some landlords may offer flexible terms of 6 months or more for furnished properties.

Pet policies vary by property. About 60% of gated communities allow pets (usually with size restrictions), while standalone homes are more likely to permit them. Always confirm before signing a lease.

Beyond the monthly rent (and typically separate utilities), expect to pay: security deposit (2 months), maintenance fee (if in gated community: Ksh 10,000-30,000/month), and possibly parking fees for extra vehicles.

Always: visit the property personally; request title deed copies; verify the agent's registration with NAR; check management company credentials for gated communities; and review all lease terms carefully before payment.

Kileleshwa offers closer proximity to Westlands/CBD while maintaining exclusivity. It has more modern architectural styles compared to Karen's traditional homes, and better infrastructure than some parts of Runda. The area also has excellent security without being overly isolated.
