If that is how much your neighborhood pays( 25K) basi you had your fun. if not, just move out. There is more than meets the eye. @Bwe, 25k will make these houses the most expensive in a kilometer radius. Will there be a huge demand for the houses at that price? No. Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

Some with huge bank loans. Some with businesses that are making less than 25k as profit in a month. A single mother with a 2-month old pair of twins. How will they cope?

Rent tribunal will not admit any case where rent is more than 2,500. Even if he goes the court route, it would still be risky as case can be dismissed with costs. Ahame It is sad that there is no way to reign in arbitrary increases in rent. We have rented a commercial space. Was 35k+VAT in 2011, 42k+VAT in 2012 and we are now paying 56k+VAT. We have a Lease Agreement but as long as the landlord gives 90 days notice, he can increase rent whimsically. Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

mine is a different case. the caretaker is the sister to the landload and we disagreed on some issue regarding some repairs, i brought my own electrician since the one they refer to us does shody work. i have a one year lease with one month notice from either part. now, on 11th, she gives me a letter telling that i have been evicted and should leave by end month or if i leave before that, they will refund remaining rent. yesterday, i told them am ready to leave today they give me my deposit and rent balance for the remaining days. they refuse and tell me to vacate and come for the deposit after two weeks. i have stayed put. what is the best course action i can take?

In one year you will have paid him Khs. 300,000.
Time to move on. Hama before February. Look for alternative house.

Ever since that old man had his prostate removed, he's been acting a little weird of late. Seems so. I like the place. It's convenient. I can sneak in at 11pm, 2am or 4am without bother. I can leave at 3am without issue. And the neighbours are behaved. Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

That is a 47% increase in rent! The last increase in Jan 2013 was from 15000 to 17000. Is this reasonable? The rent would be double what I was paying in 2011. He has undertaken no capital expenditure on the premises and has done no repairs. He attributes the increase to 'inflation'. I have been a good well-behaved tenant. Maka, A4A et al saidia with advice. Or I just work harder and earn 47% more? Show him this notice http://www.revenue.go.ke...ORMATIONONLANDLORDS.pdf[/quote]  actually this might make him change his mind. Pole bro but it looks like ni kuhama .

Is it Worth it? @Jguru..Just Hama, then Pray hard and Work hard..aim for your own place. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..

There is so little value for the tenant in the rental property market nowadays. How does someone just decide to hike rent by 47% without first changing anything in the house.With all our Kenyan dust, potholed roads and poor services.
Unaweza pata landlord ameincrease rent just because there are rumours of a bypass or other civil project nearby.
I have been following A4architecht's and co. thoughts in the other thread and I agree sirkal needs to intervene in this real estate and land business.
I pay the equivalent of Ksh 25000 inclusive of water/electricity and get a fully furnished flat with security, garbage collection and posta delivers mail to my doorstep. Major supermarkets are a short walk away. Plus we have a swimming pool to cool our dark skins in the summer.

That amount is too little for services and location (close to an urban centre considering that major supermarkets are nearby) you have mentioned. You will know that you have arrived when money and time are not mutually exclusive "events" in you life!
