Frequently Asked Questions

Most landlords require a security deposit equivalent to one or two months' rent. For example on a Ksh 30,000/month house you'd typically pay Ksh 30,000-60,000 deposit plus first month's rent before moving in.

Langas and Kapseret offer the most budget-friendly options with decent amenities. You can find simple two-bedroom houses from Ksh 15,000/month. Rural areas like Soy also have lower rents but fewer urban conveniences.

In most cases tenants pay utilities separately. Water bills average Ksh 800-1,500 monthly while electricity costs depend on usage (typically Ksh 2,000-5,000). Some town apartments may include water in the rent.

Standard leases run for one year with break clauses after six months. Shorter-term rentals (3-6 months) are available near universities but often cost slightly more per month.

Pet policies vary greatly. Farmhouses usually allow pets while urban landlords may charge an additional pet deposit (typically half a month's rent) or restrict certain breeds.

Demand peaks January-February (university intake) and June-July (school mid-year transfers). For best selection and negotiation power target October-November or April-May.
