What to Consider When Renting an Apartment in Nairobi

Comparing rent alone may not give you the full picture. The apartment’s location, additional costs, water and power arrangements, security and tenancy terms all affect whether a property suits your needs. Check these details before arranging a viewing or making a rental commitment.

Monthly rent and additional costs: Ask whether service charge, water, parking and other recurring costs are included. Confirm the deposit and payment terms before signing an agreement.

Water and power supply: Check the building’s water arrangements and whether backup power serves the apartment, common areas or both.

Security and access: Ask about access controls, guards, CCTV and any other security provisions advertised in the listing.

Location and daily travel: Consider how the apartment’s location fits your commute, regular errands and access to the services you use. Check the exact address and route rather than relying on a broad neighbourhood label.

Viewing and tenancy terms: Arrange a viewing where possible, confirm that the unit is still available, and review the tenancy agreement before making payment.
