The State of Kenya’s Property Management Market in 2025/2026
ShiftTenant
The numbers don’t lie:
Rental demand up 28% YoY in Nairobi, Kisumu, and Mombasa (HassConsult Q3 Report).
Tenant default rates average 12–15% due to poor screening and delayed invoicing.
Maintenance delays cost landlords KSh 50,000+ per unresolved issue (KNBS Property Survey).
Short-stay hosts are losing 30% of bookings to clunky manual processes.
Traditional methods—such as manual rent collection, scattered tenant records, and reactive maintenance—are no longer sustainable. The market demands speed, transparency, and data-driven decisions. This is where Shiftenant steps in.
