Frequently Asked Questions

Most commercial leases run for 1-5 years in Nairobi. Prime locations often require longer commitments (3-5 years), while emerging areas may offer more flexible 1-year terms with renewal options.
Base rent typically excludes utilities. Tenants pay separately for electricity (Ksh 20-25 per unit) and water (metered usage). Some managed malls include basic utilities in service charges.
Subletting requires landlord approval per standard lease agreements. Most contracts prohibit unauthorized subletting but may allow approved assignments with proper documentation.
Demand surges before major holidays (December festive season and Ramadhan) as retailers prepare for increased consumer spending. Securing space 2-3 months before these periods is advisable.
Yes, you must obtain a single business permit from Nairobi County (Ksh 5,000-50,000 annually depending on business type) and display it prominently. Some landlords verify permits before handing over keys.
