How do I keep a Nairobi rental property in excellent condition between tenants?
The condition of a Nairobi rental property at the start of each tenancy directly affects the rent you can command and the quality of tenant you attract. Here is how to maintain it professionally.
Between-Tenancy Cleaning Standard
Every change of tenancy should include a full professional deep clean — not just a surface wipe. The new tenant’s first impression sets expectations for how they will treat the property.
Between-Tenancy Cleaning Checklist
- Full end-of-tenancy deep clean after previous tenant vacates
- Carpet extraction if any carpet staining is present
- Repaint if walls are marked beyond normal wear — a freshly painted interior commands higher rent
- Check and service all appliances
- Descale all taps, showerheads, and bathroom fittings
- Treat and re-seal bathroom grout if discoloured
- Replace shower screen if it cannot be restored to clear
- Check and clean water tank if the property has one
