When tenants vacate residential or commercial properties in Kenya, they occasionally leave behind bulky furniture or appliances. Learn the legal steps, documentation procedures, and fast liquidation methods for property managers in Kenya.
Documenting Inventory and Legal Notice
Always take detailed photographs of all abandoned items and send formal written notice to the tenant last known address or email in accordance with the tenancy agreement.
Valuation and Cataloging of Goods
Assess the fair market value of appliances and furniture left behind to determine if they offset any outstanding utility bills or rent arrears.
Liquidating Items Rapidly to Prepare Units for New Tenants
Emptying rental units quickly is critical to minimize vacant days. Rehome verified agents can inspect, list, and clear items within 48 hours.
Setting Up Furnished Units for Airbnb
Property managers can also repurpose quality pre owned furniture to furnish short stay Airbnb apartments at a fraction of showroom cost.
