Frequently Asked Questions

Most unfurnished houses include basic built-in features like kitchen cabinets, bathroom fixtures, and sometimes water heaters. Windows usually have frames but may lack curtains. Floors are typically finished (tiles/concrete) but empty of rugs/furniture.

Deposits range from 1-2 months' rent depending on the property. Many landlords request two months' rent as deposit for unfurnished units since tenants will be making their own modifications to the space.

Some properties allow pets in unfurnished units since there's less risk of damage to landlord-owned furniture. However, this varies by landlord - always confirm pet policies before signing a lease.

Tenants typically pay Ksh 3,000-7,000 monthly for electricity and Ksh 1,500-3,500 for water in standard unfurnished houses. Costs vary based on household size and usage patterns.

Unfurnished units often have faster move-in timelines than furnished ones. After lease signing and deposit payment (1-3 days processing), you can usually occupy immediately since no furniture setup is required.
