Your First Steps in Kenya: Bypassing Common Pitfalls with BIPOC Investment Group

Embarking on a new chapter in Kenya, whether for personal or business pursuits, presents a unique set of rules, practices, and terminologies that may be unfamiliar to newcomers. For instance, in Kenya, the term used to describe the rental of an apartment is to “let” a flat, as opposed to “rent” an apartment. This minor difference in terminology can lead to confusion, and in some cases, landlords may charge higher rent if the term “rent” is used instead of “let.”

Another cultural nuance revolves around the customary practice of negotiating rent prices with landlords before signing a lease agreement. Unlike many other countries where rent prices are fixed, in Kenya, this negotiation is a common practice. Newcomers unaware of this custom may end up paying higher rent than necessary.

The DIY Trap:

The allure of navigating through the relocation process independently often entices many. However, the journey can quickly become tangled in a web of misinterpretations due to linguistic and procedural differences. Misinterpreting documents and processes due to differences in terminology can result in delays, additional costs, or even legal challenges. For example, failing to understand the correct procedure for property “letting” or misinterpreting legal terminology can lead to unfavorable agreements or contraventions of local laws.
