• Can Landlords Ask for Proof of Income Before Renting You a House? What Kenyan Tenants Need to Know

In markets such as the UK, tenant referencing has been part of renting for years. A payslip might make it easy to verify one person’s income.

Increasingly, it could also be about being able to prove that you can. For as long as many of us can remember, finding a rental home has followed a fairly simple process. You have a budget.

• Stability or Stagnation? What the CBK’s 8.75% Rate Hold Means for Kenyan Homebuyers

  On August 11, 2026, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) announced that it would keep the Central Bank Rate (CBR) at 8.75%.

But do understand the terms of your loan and keep an eye on any changes from your bank. You take out a mortgage, agree on an interest rate and work out a monthly repayment you can live with. Then you hear that banks may now be able to increase loan

  The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is now stepping up enforcement against those who haven’t paid what they owe. Since its introduction, the levy has also raised plenty of questions about how it works, how the money is being used and what it means for people hoping to access affordable housing. If you’re an employee and your levy is already being deducted from your salary, this doesn’t necessarily mean you suddenly have another payment to make. And with enforcement now becoming more serious, it’s a conversation that’s worth paying attention to. If you’re employed, there’s a good chance the Affordable Housing Levy is something you notice on your payslip every month. You probably see the deduction, wonder where the money is going, and
