Frequently Asked Questions

Most fully furnished rentals include living room furniture (sofa set, coffee table), dining set, complete bedroom sets with wardrobes, kitchen appliances (cooker, fridge), window treatments, and often basic electronics like TV stands. Higher-end properties may include microwaves, washing machines or water dispensers.

Landlords typically require a security deposit equivalent to 1-2 months' rent for furnished properties. The exact amount depends on the property value - expect Ksh 40,000-160,000 deposit for most units. This is refundable at lease end minus any damages beyond normal wear and tear.

Approximately 40% of furnished rentals include water bills in the base rent. Electricity is usually paid separately via prepaid meters. Some upscale properties offer package deals that include WiFi and DSTV - always verify what's included before signing the lease.

Most landlords prefer minimum 6-month leases for furnished properties to justify their furniture investment. Short-term rentals (1-3 months) attract premium rates of +15-25%. Corporate leases often get flexible terms.

Umoja II and Phase III feature more modern furnished homes built after 2015. For contemporary finishes check developments near the Outer Ring Road corridor. Older but well-maintained options cluster around Inner Core near the market.
