Rental Management Built for Thika Landlords

Whether you own one bedsitter or twelve units, the process is the same: methodical, documented, and responsive.

Many Thika landlords live outside the town — in Nairobi, upcountry, or abroad — and rely on informal arrangements that break down when a tenant stops paying or a pipe bursts at midnight. Betauspark's rental management service replaces that uncertainty with a defined process: we advertise vacancies, vet applicants (employment verification, reference checks, previous landlord contact), draft tenancy agreements compliant with the Landlord and Tenant Act, collect rent monthly, and handle first-response maintenance coordination. You receive a monthly statement by the 10th of each month, and we flag any arrears immediately — not after three months.

The Betauspark Rental Process

Five steps from vacant unit to reliable income stream.

Rental Pricing Assessment

We benchmark your unit against active listings and recent lettings in your specific Thika neighbourhood — Thika Greens, Landless, Makongeni, or along the Superhighway corridor — and recommend a market rent that minimises vacancy.

Tenant Vetting

Every applicant goes through employment or income verification, two reference checks, and a previous-landlord call. We decline applicants we wouldn't be comfortable defending to you. The process takes 5–7 working days.

Lease Drafting

We prepare a written tenancy agreement for every letting — including deposit terms, notice periods, and maintenance responsibilities — reviewed against current Kenyan tenancy law. No handshake deals.

Rent Collection & Reporting

Rent is collected by the 5th of each month. You receive an itemised statement by the 10th, with net proceeds transferred directly to your bank account. Arrears trigger an escalation protocol on day 6.

Maintenance Coordination

Minor repairs (under KSh 5,000) are authorised and coordinated without disturbing you. Larger works are quoted, presented to you for approval, and supervised on-site by our team. You're never billed for work you didn't sanction.

“I manage 8 units in Makongeni from Nairobi and the arrangement with Betauspark has been running since 2020. Rent hits my account by the 12th every month without me having to chase anyone. In four years, I've had two tenant disputes — Betauspark handled both without escalating them to me until they were resolved.”

David Kariuki, Nairobi (Makongeni landlord)

Rental Management — Common Questions

Straight answers to what landlords ask us most.

What is your management fee?

Our standard fee is 8% of the monthly gross rent collected, charged only when rent is received. There is no retainer, no setup fee, and no charge for vacant periods. If your tenant doesn't pay, neither do we.

Do you handle unfurnished and furnished units?

Yes. We manage both, and we document the condition of every unit with a dated photographic inventory at tenancy start and end. Furnished units attract a slightly different tenant profile, and we adjust our advertising accordingly.

What happens when a tenant wants to leave?

We issue the statutory notice confirmation, arrange a check-out inspection with the tenant present, compare condition against the inventory, and advise on any fair deductions from the deposit. The unit is re-advertised immediately if you want us to continue managing it.

Can I switch to Betauspark if I already have a tenant?

Yes, provided there is no exclusivity clause with your current agent. We take over from the next rent cycle: we notify the tenant of the change in writing, update the bank account for payments, and take custody of the lease documents.
