Frequently Asked Questions

Most landlords prefer minimum lease terms of 1-2 years for villas in Runda, though some may offer shorter terms at higher monthly rates.

Pet policies vary by property. About 60% of villas allow pets (usually with additional deposit), while others have strict no-pet policies due to landscaping concerns.

Beyond rent and deposit (typically 2 months), tenants usually pay separately for utilities (water, electricity), garbage collection (Ksh 2,000-5,000/month), and sometimes security services (Ksh 10,000-20,000/month).

Viewings are typically arranged through registered real estate agents or directly with property managers. Most viewings require at least 24 hours notice due to security protocols.

Standard security includes perimeter walls/fences, electric fencing (in some cases), CCTV systems, alarm systems, and often round-the-clock armed guards either from the estate management or private security firms.
