Tenant sourcing and vetting
We advertise through discreet channels, conduct in-person interviews, and run background checks before presenting you with a shortlist of two or three candidates. You make the final call.
Renting done right — for landlords and tenants alike
We manage the full rental cycle across Kakamega, so landlords earn consistently and tenants move into homes that match what was advertised.
Find a rentalA rental market that rewards the prepared
Kakamega's rental market has tightened considerably over the past three years. Demand from university staff, healthcare workers at the regional hospital, and business visitors to the county headquarters keeps occupancy rates high in the KSh 15,000–50,000 per month bracket. That's good news for landlords — but only if their properties are presented correctly and their tenants are reliable. Sciencejourneyz qualifies tenants through three filters: identity verification via Kenya's eCitizen portal, employment or business-income confirmation, and at least two landlord references from previous tenancies. Properties managed through us maintain an average vacancy gap of under three weeks between tenancies, compared to the market average of six to eight weeks.
What full rental management covers
Our management package is designed so you don't have to think about the day-to-day.
Lease drafting
Every lease is prepared using a template reviewed by a Kenyan advocate, covering rent escalation clauses, maintenance responsibilities, and dispute resolution in line with the Landlord and Tenant Act.
Ongoing management
Rent collection, monthly statements, routine inspection reports, and coordination of approved contractors for repairs — all handled by our team so your investment stays productive without demanding your time.
“I own two units in Kakamega town and had been self-managing for three years. The late payments and tenant disputes were exhausting. Since handing the properties to Sciencejourneyz in early 2023, I have received my rent on the fifth of every month without exception and haven't had to deal with a single maintenance call myself.”
