How the Riverimint Rental Service Works

Our rental division manages long-term residential leases, furnished short-let agreements, and commercial space lets along the Kenyan coast. For landlords, the service begins with a rental market appraisal — a realistic monthly figure based on current comparable lets in your area, not an optimistic ceiling that leaves the unit vacant for months. We then prepare a standardised tenancy agreement that complies with Kenya's Landlord and Tenant legislation, conduct referencing checks on prospective tenants, and collect the deposit into a designated client account. For tenants, we maintain a verified portfolio of available units and provide honest condition reports before any commitment is made.

What Landlords and Tenants Each Receive

The rental relationship works best when both sides have clear expectations from day one.

Landlord: Market Appraisal

A written rental opinion based on active comparable lets within your street or estate, delivered within three working days of our site visit.

Landlord: Tenant Referencing

We verify employment or income, check prior landlord references, and carry out identity verification before recommending any tenant to you.

Landlord: Lease Drafting

Every agreement is drafted to Kenya's Landlord and Tenant (Shops, Hotels, and Catering Establishments) Act standards, covering rent review, notice periods, permitted use, and dilapidations.

Tenant: Verified Listings

Each rental property in our portfolio has been physically inspected and the landlord's mandate confirmed — no phantom listings, no misleading photographs.

Tenant: Honest Condition Reports

Before you sign, you receive a written inventory of the property's fixtures, fittings, and any known maintenance issues — so there are no unwelcome discoveries after move-in.

“As a landlord with two Bamburi properties, I spent two years dealing with late payments and lease ambiguities on my own. Since handing both units to Riverimint, rent has arrived on time every month and I have not had a single dispute. The lease template alone was worth the fee.”

Harrison Ochieng, Bamburi landlord
