Frequently Asked Questions

Most luxury rentals include basic maintenance and security services. Utilities (water, electricity) are typically paid separately by the tenant. Some high-end properties may include landscaping or pool maintenance.

Pet policies vary by property. About 60% of luxury rentals allow pets (usually with size restrictions), while others prohibit them entirely. A pet deposit of Ksh 15,000-30,000 is common where allowed.

Standard security includes perimeter walls/fences, electric fencing (in most), CCTV surveillance, alarm systems, and often dedicated guards. Many are located within gated communities that provide additional security layers.

Most landlords prefer minimum one-year leases for stability. Some may offer flexible six-month terms at a slightly higher monthly rate (typically +10-15%). Corporate leases often run two years.

From initial viewing to moving in usually takes 7-14 days. The process includes reference checks (2-3 days), lease preparation (1-2 days), deposit payment processing (1 day), and utility transfers (if applicable).
