Frequently Asked Questions

Most landlords require a security deposit of two months' rent plus one month's rent in advance. For a Ksh 400,000 property, this would total Ksh 1.2 million upfront.

This varies by property. Some high-end apartments include water and garbage collection in the rent. Electricity is almost always billed separately through prepaid meters.

Most premium rentals require minimum one-year leases with break clauses after six months. Corporate leases often run two years with annual rent reviews.

Pet policies vary by building. Many gated communities allow pets with restrictions on size/breed and may require additional deposits (typically Ksh 50,000-100,000).

Prime properties move quickly - often within 2-4 weeks of listing. We recommend scheduling viewings promptly when new listings become available.
