Renting in Kenya deserves better.
We're the verification layer Nairobi's rental market never had — built by Kenyans who got tired of paying brokers for ghost listings and chasing landlords who never picked up.
The Nairobi rental hustle, in numbers
If you've ever hunted for a house in Nairobi, you know the drill: pay a broker KSh 1,000 to view a flat that doesn't match the photos, repeat eight times, lose three weekends, and still end up signing a lease you're not sure about.
We did the math — and decided to build the alternative.
Average broker viewing fee per property
Properties an average tenant tours
of listings on classifieds are fake or stale
Average time wasted by Nairobi tenants
A rental market built on trust, not commissions
Every Kenyan deserves to find a home without paying a stranger KSh 1,000 just to look. Every landlord deserves to fill a vacancy without surrendering a month's rent to a broker.
StayNai connects the two directly — and we charge a small subscription so we can keep the platform broker-free and the listings genuinely verified.
