Frequently Asked Questions

Most landlords require a security deposit equivalent to 1-2 months' rent. For a typical Ksh 20,000/month house, expect to pay Ksh 20,000-40,000 deposit plus the first month's rent upfront.

In most cases no - tenants typically pay electricity and water bills separately. Some compounds may include garbage collection fees in the rent. Always confirm what's included before signing a lease.

The most budget-friendly options are found in developing neighborhoods like Freehold Area and parts of Section 58. These offer basic but livable houses starting around Ksh 15,000/month.

Many landlords offer flexible 6-month leases for budget houses, though some may require a full year. Short-term rentals (under 6 months) are rare but can sometimes be negotiated during low seasons.

Fully furnished budget houses are uncommon in this area. Most economical rentals come unfurnished or with very basic items like kitchen shelves and curtain rods. Tenants typically provide their own furniture.
