But I believe they should be paid by the owner when a new tenant signs, and moves in. Oh, and paying in cash says nothing about my bad credit. All tenants in the compound pay cash (says so in the lease - not negotiable)<BR/><BR/>Anonymous: House hunting is interesting as you discover unknown parts of the city, but also tiring. Will keep the post updated. As for the car, I bought and registered an ex-Japan used Toyota in Mombasa - which saved about 50k if I had bought it in Nairobi. <BR/><BR/>Guessaurus: Thanks, I will definetely e-mail you.bankelelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180926084939364063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-1140443726458046712006-02-20T16:55:00.000+03:002006-02-20T16:55:00.000+03:00I know I dont live in Kenya and your ruling out Th...I know I dont live in Kenya and your ruling out Thika road narrowed things down LOL - marketing at its best.<BR/><BR/>Now, a friend was living in Kileleshwa opposite or behind State House and the place is very clean, secure and desirable, nearer town, leafy and spacious. Two bedroom house for around Ks.22,000 a month,(might need around 50k for a security deposit) security patrolled community that will not let in anyone who isnt known or cleared, including taxis. Very peaceful and quiet. <BR/><BR/>If you need me to get contact details email me, but cannot guarantee there are any availableAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-1140442782905916622006-02-20T16:39:00.000+03:002006-02-20T16:39:00.000+03:00nimekusikilia huruma! but i intend to follow your ...nimekusikilia huruma! but i intend to follow your house hunting keenly, might be in same boat soon any tips would be useful. incidentally how did you finally get a car?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9317825.post-1140441391910107162006-02-20T16:16:00.000+03:002006-02-20T16:16:00.000+03:00One of the things that I find uniquely Kenyan.

Viewing fees, does the house depreciate when you look at it so they need to charge you for this?<BR/>What's with the paying rent in cash? <BR/><BR/>Happy House hunting!Prousettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04367325529770099956noreply@blogger.com
