Frequently Asked Questions

In 2026, one bedroom house rents range from Ksh 15,000 in smaller towns to Ksh 60,000 in prime urban areas. Most suburban areas average Ksh 25,000-45,000 per month.
Typically landlords require a deposit of one to two months' rent. Some may ask for an additional utility deposit of Ksh 5,000-10,000.
Most one bedroom rentals don't include utilities. Tenants typically pay separately for electricity (prepaid meters), water (often included in urban areas), and internet.
Check water pressure, electrical outlets, security features, natural lighting, noise levels, storage space, and proximity to public transport and amenities.
Pet policies vary. Many smaller units restrict pets due to space limitations. Always confirm with the landlord before signing a lease if you have pets.
