Frequently Asked Questions

Most landlords require a security deposit equivalent to one or two months' rent when leasing a villa. For luxury properties in prime areas like Karen or Runda, deposits can be higher.

Most villa rentals exclude utilities from the monthly rent. Tenants should budget separately for electricity (average Ksh 8,000-15,000/month), water (Ksh 2,000-5,000/month), and sometimes garbage collection fees.

The standard lease term for villas is one year minimum. Some landlords may offer shorter terms (6 months) at higher monthly rates. Renewal options are typically built into the contract.

Pet policies vary by property. About half of villa rentals allow pets (often with additional deposit), while others prohibit them entirely. Always confirm this before signing a lease.

Most villas offer perimeter walls/fencing, electric fences (in upscale areas), alarm systems (sometimes connected to response teams), and many include live-in caretakers or askaris (guards).
