What is a lease agreement in Kenya?
A lease agreement in Kenya is a legal agreement under which a landlord or lessor gives another person, known as the tenant or lessee, the right to occupy or use land or premises for an agreed period and on agreed terms, usually in return for rent.
Kenyan land law recognises both registered and unregistered leases. The Land Registration Act defines a lease to include a lease or sublease, whether registered or unregistered, as well as a short-term lease or agreement to lease.
A properly drafted lease should do more than state the monthly rent.
It should answer practical questions such as:
- What exactly is being leased?
- How long will the tenant occupy the premises?
- How much is the rent?
- When must rent be paid?
- Can the landlord increase the rent?
- Who pays utilities?
- Who handles repairs?
- Can the tenant sublet?
- Can the tenant assign the lease?
- What happens if rent is not paid?
- How can either party terminate the agreement?
- Can the tenant renew?
- Who pays taxes, rates and other charges?
- What happens when the lease expires?
- How will disputes be resolved?
A good lease agreement addresses these issues before a dispute arises.
Why a written lease agreement matters in Kenya
Landlords and tenants sometimes begin a tenancy through a verbal agreement.
That can create problems later.
The parties may remember the agreement differently. One may believe the tenancy runs for two years while the other believes it is month-to-month. The landlord may expect the tenant to pay service charges that the tenant says were included in the rent. A tenant may believe they can sublet while the landlord says subletting was prohibited.
Putting the arrangement in writing reduces these uncertainties.
The Land Act specifically recognises situations where occupation occurs without a written agreement. Where a landlord permits exclusive occupation at rent without a written agreement, the occupation can constitute a periodic tenancy.
That is not a good reason to avoid a written lease.
It is a reason to have one.
What laws govern lease agreements in Kenya?
There is no single statute that deals with every type of tenancy.
The applicable law depends on the property, the type of tenancy and the terms of the arrangement.
Important legislation includes:
1. Land Act, 2012
The Land Act contains general provisions on leases, including the power to lease private land, periodic leases, short-term leases and certain rules applying after a lease expires.
2. Land Registration Act, 2012
The Land Registration Act deals with registration of leases and interests in land. It also governs matters such as certificates of lease, dealings with leases and restrictions affecting registered interests.
3. Landlord and Tenant (Shops, Hotels and Catering Establishments) Act
This Act, commonly called Cap. 301, provides special protection for certain commercial tenants and establishes the Business Premises Rent Tribunal.
It is particularly important when dealing with controlled tenancies.
4. Rent Restriction Act
The Rent Restriction Act deals with certain categories of residential dwelling houses and establishes the Rent Restriction Tribunal. Its application is limited by statutory exclusions, including certain dwelling houses based on their standard rent and other categories.
5. Stamp Duty Act
Lease instruments and agreements for leases can attract stamp duty. Section 55 of the Stamp Duty Act provides that an agreement for a lease or letting is charged with the same duty as if it were an actual lease for the stated term and consideration. Sections 56 and 57 address leases where consideration consists of rent or other consideration.
The applicable rules therefore depend on the particular lease.
What should a lease agreement contain?
There is no sensible one-size-fits-all lease.
A residential apartment lease should not be drafted in exactly the same way as a shopping-centre lease, office lease, warehouse lease, hotel lease or agricultural lease.
However, most well-drafted leases should address the following.
1. Full details of the landlord and tenant
The agreement should identify the parties accurately.
For an individual, this may include:
- Full legal name
- Identification or passport details
- Address
- Contact information
For a company, the agreement should identify:
- Registered company name
- Registration details
- Registered address
- Authorised representative
This matters because a dispute becomes more difficult when the contracting parties are not properly identified.
2. A precise description of the premises
The lease should clearly identify the property.
Depending on the transaction, this may include:
- Title number;
- Unit number;
- House number;
- Floor;
- Building name;
- Physical address;
- Approximate floor area;
- Parking space;
- Storage area;
- Common areas;
- Fixtures and fittings.
If the tenant is leasing only part of a larger property, the agreement should make the leased area clear.
A vague description can create disputes about what the tenant actually has the right to occupy.
3. The term of the lease
The agreement should state:
When does the lease begin?
When does it end?
The term should be clear.
For example:
“The lease shall commence on 1 January 2027 and expire on 31 December 2029.”
Do not rely on phrases such as:
“Three years from the date of signing.”
unless the parties have deliberately chosen that structure and understand when the term begins.
The commencement date can affect rent, renewal, termination and registration issues.
4. Rent and payment dates
The lease should state:
- Amount of rent;
- Currency;
- Payment frequency;
- Payment date;
- Payment method;
- Bank or payment details;
- Consequences of late payment.
If rent will increase during the lease, the agreement should explain how.
For example:
“The rent shall increase by 5% on each anniversary of the commencement date.”
Alternatively, the parties may agree to a rent review mechanism based on market conditions or another formula.
Avoid leaving rent increases to an informal future conversation.
5. Security deposit
Most leases require a security deposit.
The agreement should explain:
- Amount of the deposit;
- When it must be paid;
- What it can be used for;
- Whether it can be used to cover rent;
- When it must be refunded;
- What deductions are permitted;
- How deductions will be communicated.
For example, the lease might allow deductions for:
- Unpaid rent;
- Unpaid utilities;
- Damage beyond reasonable wear and tear;
- Missing fixtures;
- Other specified contractual obligations.
The agreement should not simply say:
“The deposit is non-refundable.”
The parties should instead establish the circumstances in which deductions can lawfully be made and when the balance should be returned.
6. Utilities and service charges
This is one of the most common sources of landlord-tenant disagreements.
The lease should state who pays:
- Electricity;
- Water;
- Internet;
- Garbage collection;
- Security;
- Service charge;
- Parking charges;
- Rates;
- Land rent;
- Other property-related costs.
For an apartment or commercial building, the tenant should understand exactly what the service charge covers.
If the landlord can increase service charges, the agreement should explain how that can happen.
7. Repairs and maintenance
The lease should divide repair obligations between the parties.
For example, the landlord may be responsible for:
- Structural repairs;
- Roof;
- Major plumbing;
- External walls;
- Major electrical infrastructure.
The tenant may be responsible for:
- Routine maintenance;
- Minor repairs;
- Damage caused by the tenant;
- Cleaning;
- Maintaining fixtures.
The exact allocation depends on the property and the negotiated terms.
A commercial tenant occupying a warehouse will have different maintenance responsibilities from a tenant renting a furnished apartment.
8. Use of the premises
The lease should clearly state what the tenant may use the property for.
A residential lease might provide:
“The premises shall be used solely as a private residence.”
A commercial lease might specify:
“The premises shall be used for the operation of a law office.”
This is important because a tenant should not assume that any lawful business can be operated from the premises.
Planning, licensing, zoning and building requirements may also apply.
The Physical and Land Use Planning Act provides for development control and county development permissions, including consideration of land use, zoning and infrastructure.
9. Alterations and improvements
What happens if the tenant wants to:
- Remove a wall;
- Install partitions;
- Paint;
- Install signage;
- Add air conditioning;
- Install equipment;
- Renovate;
- Make structural alterations?
The lease should address this.
A landlord may require written consent before significant alterations are made.
The agreement should also explain what happens to improvements when the tenancy ends.
10. Subletting and assignment
A tenant may want to allow another person to occupy the premises or transfer their lease.
The lease should state whether:
- Subletting is permitted;
- Assignment is permitted;
- Landlord consent is required;
- Consent can be withheld;
- A subtenant must meet particular conditions.
This is particularly important for commercial premises.
The Land Registration Act recognises situations where a lease restricts transfer, subletting, charging or parting with possession without the lessor’s written consent. Such conditions can affect subsequent dealings with the registered lease.
A tenant should therefore read the subletting clause carefully before signing.
11. Renewal of the lease
If the tenant expects to remain in the premises beyond the initial term, the renewal provisions deserve careful attention.
The agreement should specify:
- Whether renewal is available;
- How many renewal periods are allowed;
- Length of each renewal;
- How the tenant exercises the option;
- Deadline for giving notice;
- How rent will be determined;
- Conditions for renewal.
For example:
“The tenant may exercise the renewal option by giving written notice not less than six months before expiry.”
A renewal clause should not create uncertainty about whether renewal is automatic or subject to a new agreement.
12. Termination of the lease
A lease should clearly explain how it can end.
Possible termination events may include:
- Expiry of the agreed term;
- Mutual agreement;
- Serious breach;
- Persistent rent arrears;
- Insolvency where relevant;
- Unauthorised subletting;
- Illegal use of the premises;
- Other agreed contractual grounds.
The termination provisions should comply with any mandatory statutory protections applicable to the tenancy.
This is especially important for controlled commercial tenancies.
Controlled commercial tenancies in Kenya
A commercial lease is not necessarily governed only by the contract.
The Landlord and Tenant (Shops, Hotels and Catering Establishments) Act protects certain tenants.
Under section 2, a controlled tenancy includes a tenancy of a shop, hotel or catering establishment that:
- has not been reduced into writing;
- is in writing for a period not exceeding five years; or
- contains a provision allowing termination, otherwise than for breach, within five years from commencement;
subject to the statutory definition and exceptions.
This distinction is extremely important.
A landlord should not assume that a clause in a commercial lease automatically allows immediate termination.
For controlled tenancies, section 4 requires the prescribed notice procedure for termination or alteration of terms. Courts and the Business Premises Rent Tribunal continue to apply these statutory protections.
In Wangui & another v Twelve Investment Limited & 2 others [2024] KEBPRT 1145 (KLR), for example, the Tribunal considered the statutory requirements for terminating a controlled tenancy and found the landlord’s termination notice defective.
This is why commercial leases should be reviewed with the applicable tenancy legislation in mind.
Can a landlord terminate a lease before it expires?
Sometimes, but not simply because the landlord has changed their mind.
The answer depends on:
- The lease terms;
- The type of tenancy;
- The reason for termination;
- Applicable legislation;
- Any statutory notice requirements;
- Whether there has been a breach.
For a controlled tenancy, statutory termination procedures apply.
For other leases, the contractual termination provisions and general land law may determine the position.
A landlord should therefore avoid simply changing locks, disconnecting essential services or removing a tenant without first establishing the lawful procedure.
What happens when a lease expires?
A tenant should not assume that continuing to pay rent automatically creates a new fixed-term lease.
The Land Act provides specific rules for situations where a tenant remains in possession after expiry with the landlord’s consent.
Section 57 deals with periodic leases, including situations where the term is not specified or where a tenant remains in possession after expiry with the lessor’s consent.
Section 60 also addresses a tenant who remains in possession after termination or expiry without the lessor’s consent. Where rent continues to be accepted for two months after termination, the Act provides for circumstances in which a month-to-month periodic lease may be deemed to have arisen.
The precise circumstances matter.
A landlord should therefore not allow a lease to expire and then rely on informal arrangements without understanding the legal consequences.
What is a short-term lease in Kenya?
Section 58 of the Land Act defines a short-term lease as a lease:
- made for two years or less without an option for renewal;
- that is a periodic lease; or
- falling within the statutory category relating to occupation without a written agreement.
A short-term lease may be oral or written and is not a registrable interest in land.
That does not mean that a short-term tenancy should be handled casually.
A written agreement is still useful because it records the parties’ understanding about rent, possession, repairs, notice and other obligations.
Does a lease agreement have to be registered in Kenya?
Not every lease requires registration.
The legal treatment depends on the term and nature of the lease.
The Land Registration Act provides for registration of leases and certificates of lease, while the Land Act specifically provides that short-term leases are not registrable interests.
The Land Registration Act also provides that a certificate of lease is issued for a lease for a certain period exceeding 21 years.
For longer leases, registration can therefore become an important part of protecting and documenting the leasehold interest.
A lawyer should assess the particular lease rather than applying a blanket rule to every tenancy.
What is the difference between a lease and a tenancy agreement?
People often use the terms interchangeably.
In practice, both can describe an arrangement giving someone possession or use of premises in return for rent.
However, the legal character of the arrangement matters more than the title placed on the document.
A document called:
“Tenancy Agreement”
may create a lease.
A document called:
“Lease Agreement”
may create a short-term or periodic tenancy depending on its terms and circumstances.
The parties should therefore focus on the substance of the arrangement, not simply the heading on the first page.
What about a lease agreement for an apartment?
Apartment leases require additional attention because the property may be governed by the Sectional Properties Act, 2020.
The Act provides for individual ownership of sectional units and common property.
Upon registration of a sectional plan, separate registers are opened for the units, and a certificate of title or certificate of lease may be issued depending on the nature of the unit.
A tenant renting an apartment should therefore establish:
- The correct unit number;
- Parking allocation;
- Storage areas;
- Service charge;
- Building rules;
- Common-area restrictions;
- Pet rules where applicable;
- Renovation restrictions;
- Access arrangements;
- Security arrangements.
The lease should be consistent with the building’s management rules.
Stamp duty on lease agreements in Kenya
Stamp duty is an important part of lease documentation.
Section 55 of the Stamp Duty Act provides that an agreement for a lease or letting is charged with the same duty as if it were an actual lease for the term and consideration stated in the agreement. Sections 56 and 57 address leases where the consideration consists of rent or other forms of consideration.
The amount payable depends on the nature and consideration of the particular instrument.
Because stamp-duty treatment can depend on the structure of the transaction, parties should confirm the applicable assessment rather than relying on an outdated online figure.
Can a lease be signed electronically?
Electronic contracting is increasingly common in Kenya.
The legal framework for electronic records and signatures under the Kenya Information and Communications Act can support electronic transactions, subject to applicable requirements and exceptions.
However, a party should not assume that every land instrument can be handled electronically in exactly the same way as an ordinary commercial contract.
Where the lease requires registration, consent, stamping, identification or other formalities, those requirements should still be addressed.
For a substantial or long-term lease, professional review is particularly useful before relying entirely on electronic execution.
What happens if the tenant stops paying rent?
Rent arrears can amount to a breach of the lease.
The landlord’s available remedies depend on:
- The lease;
- The type of tenancy;
- Applicable legislation;
- The amount owed;
- Any statutory notices required;
- Whether the landlord is entitled to levy distress;
- Whether termination or possession proceedings are appropriate.
A landlord should not assume that a tenant can simply be removed without following the correct procedure.
For controlled commercial tenancies, statutory protections can be particularly important. Section 7 of Cap. 301 sets out grounds upon which a landlord may seek termination after the statutory notice process, including persistent rent default and substantial breaches.
Can a landlord increase rent?
That depends on the lease and the applicable statutory framework.
A lease may contain a rent-review clause.
For example, the parties could agree to:
- A fixed annual increase;
- A market review;
- A predetermined percentage;
- A valuation-based review;
- Another agreed formula.
However, statutory protections may limit how rent or other tenancy terms can be changed in certain controlled tenancies.
The lease should therefore clearly state the rent-review mechanism rather than leaving future increases to informal negotiations.
What happens if the tenant damages the property?
The lease should distinguish between:
Normal wear and tear
and
Damage caused by the tenant or persons for whom the tenant is responsible.
For example, ordinary fading of paint over time is different from deliberately damaging doors, plumbing or electrical installations.
The agreement should explain:
- Who is responsible for repairs;
- Whether the landlord can deduct repair costs from the deposit;
- How damage will be assessed;
- Whether the tenant must restore alterations;
- What happens to fixtures installed by the tenant.
Photographs and an inventory can be extremely useful when a tenant takes possession.
What should a tenant check before signing a lease?
Before signing, a tenant should verify:
Property
- Is the landlord entitled to lease the property?
- Is the property exactly as described?
- Are there existing defects?
- Are the fixtures included?
Money
- Monthly rent;
- Deposit;
- Service charge;
- Utilities;
- Parking;
- Other charges;
- Rent-review mechanism.
Term
- Start date;
- Expiry date;
- Renewal option;
- Notice periods.
Restrictions
- Subletting;
- Assignment;
- Pets;
- Business use;
- Renovations;
- Signage;
- Noise;
- Occupancy limits.
Exit
- How can the tenant terminate?
- What notice is required?
- What happens to the deposit?
- What happens to tenant improvements?
What should a landlord check before signing a lease?
A landlord should verify:
- Tenant identity;
- Company registration where applicable;
- Intended use of the premises;
- Financial capacity where relevant;
- References where appropriate;
- Deposit arrangements;
- Permitted occupants;
- Maintenance obligations;
- Subletting restrictions;
- Insurance requirements;
- Rent-review terms;
- Default provisions;
- Termination procedure.
For commercial premises, the landlord should also understand whether the proposed arrangement will fall within the controlled-tenancy regime.
Common mistakes in Kenyan lease agreements
1. Using a generic template without reviewing it
A template downloaded from the internet may not reflect the property, transaction or applicable Kenyan legislation.
2. Failing to identify the property properly
A lease should make it clear exactly what premises are being rented.
3. Leaving rent-review terms vague
A clause saying “rent shall be reviewed periodically” can create disputes if the parties never agree on what that means.
4. Ignoring service charges
The tenant should know exactly what is included in rent and what is payable separately.
5. Failing to address subletting
The parties should decide this before the tenant takes possession.
6. Ignoring renewal
A tenant who invests heavily in a commercial premises should understand what happens when the initial term expires.
7. Assuming the landlord can terminate whenever they want
Contractual and statutory termination requirements may apply.
8. Assuming the tenant can stay indefinitely after expiry
Continuing occupation can create a periodic tenancy in certain circumstances, so both parties should understand the consequences of holding over.
9. Failing to stamp or register documents where required
Stamp duty and registration should be considered as part of the transaction rather than afterthoughts.

When should you have a lawyer review a lease?
Legal review is particularly useful where:
- The lease is long-term.
- The rent is substantial.
- The premises are commercial.
- The tenant is investing in renovations.
- The property is being used for a regulated business.
- The tenant requires exclusivity.
- The lease contains a renewal option.
- The landlord requires a personal or corporate guarantee.
- The property is mortgaged or charged.
- There is a head lease and proposed sublease.
- The tenant intends to sublet.
- The property is part of a sectional development.
- The lease contains complex rent-review provisions.
- The parties are negotiating significant termination rights.
A lawyer should not merely proofread the document.
The review should consider whether the lease actually protects the commercial or residential arrangement the parties intend to create.
Why lease drafting matters more for commercial property
A residential tenant may mainly need certainty about rent, repairs, occupation and termination.
A business tenant may need much more.
Consider a restaurant, school, clinic, warehouse, hotel or law office.
The tenant may invest substantial money in:
- Renovations;
- Branding;
- Equipment;
- Fit-outs;
- Employees;
- Licences;
- Signage;
- Security systems;
- Customer acquisition.
If the lease allows the landlord to terminate prematurely or refuses renewal without adequate protection, the tenant may lose a substantial investment.
Commercial leases therefore deserve careful drafting around:
- Term;
- Renewal;
- Rent review;
- Fit-out;
- Permitted use;
- Assignment;
- Subletting;
- Exclusivity;
- Relocation;
- Termination;
- Compensation for improvements;
- Insurance;
- Indemnities;
- Dispute resolution.
Lease agreement Kenya: the key legal distinction
One of the most important things to understand is that the document itself does not tell you the entire legal position.
Two tenants may both sign documents titled “Lease Agreement” but have very different legal rights.
One may have a short-term residential tenancy.
Another may have a long-term registered lease.
A third may operate a shop under a controlled tenancy protected by Cap. 301.
A fourth may occupy an apartment governed by a sectional-property regime.
The legal consequences can therefore differ significantly.
Final takeaway
A good lease agreement in Kenya should give both the landlord and tenant a clear understanding of their rights, responsibilities and obligations before the tenancy begins.
At a minimum, the parties should address:
the property, term, rent, deposit, utilities, repairs, permitted use, alterations, subletting, renewal, termination, default, handover, dispute resolution, stamping and registration where applicable.
The Land Act recognises the ability of owners of private land to create leases and provides specific rules for periodic and short-term leases. The Land Registration Act governs registration and dealings with registered leases, while special legislation can apply to particular categories of landlord-tenant relationships.
For commercial property, the Landlord and Tenant (Shops, Hotels and Catering Establishments) Act can significantly affect termination and other landlord-tenant rights where the tenancy is controlled.
The safest approach is therefore not to copy a generic lease and sign it.
Understand the property. Identify the parties. Agree the commercial terms. Put them clearly in writing. Check the applicable law. Then execute and complete the necessary formalities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a lease agreement legally binding in Kenya?
Yes, a properly created lease or tenancy agreement can create enforceable contractual and, depending on its nature and registration, land-related rights. The legal effect depends on the terms, type of tenancy and applicable legislation.
Can a lease agreement be oral in Kenya?
Certain short-term leases may be oral. Section 58 of the Land Act allows a short-term lease to be made orally or in writing, and section 57 provides for periodic tenancies in certain circumstances where occupation occurs without a written agreement.
However, a written agreement is strongly preferable because it records what the parties actually agreed.
How long can a lease be in Kenya?
The duration depends on the type of lease and the interest being created. Kenyan law recognises short-term leases, periodic leases and longer registered leasehold interests. A certificate of lease under the Land Registration Act is tied to a lease for a certain period exceeding 21 years.
Does a lease agreement need to be registered?
Not every lease requires registration. Short-term leases are specifically excluded from registration as interests in land under section 58 of the Land Act. Longer leases and registrable interests should be assessed under the Land Registration Act.
Who pays stamp duty on a lease?
The parties should address this in the agreement. The Stamp Duty Act imposes duty on leases and agreements for leases, with the applicable treatment depending on the nature and consideration of the instrument.
Can a landlord increase rent during a lease?
Only according to the applicable contractual and statutory framework. If the lease contains a valid rent-review mechanism, that clause will be important. Additional statutory protections may apply to controlled tenancies.
Can a tenant sublet without the landlord’s permission?
Not necessarily. The lease may prohibit subletting or require the landlord’s written consent. Registered leases can contain restrictions on subletting, assignment and parting with possession.
Can a landlord evict a tenant immediately for failing to pay rent?
Not necessarily. The correct procedure depends on the tenancy and applicable law. Controlled commercial tenancies, in particular, have statutory notice and termination requirements.
What happens when a lease expires but the tenant remains?
The legal consequences depend on what happens after expiry. The Land Act contains rules dealing with periodic tenancies and tenants who remain in possession after expiry.
Should a lawyer draft my lease agreement?
For a simple tenancy, parties may use a basic written agreement. However, professional legal drafting becomes particularly valuable for long-term, commercial, high-value or complex leases where renewal, rent review, alterations, subletting, guarantees, registration or termination rights matter.
