Landlord & Tenant Dispute Resolution in Nairobi
Disputes between landlords and tenants are a daily reality in Nairobi's competitive rental market. Whether the issue involves unpaid rent, unauthorized alterations, lease violations, or contested evictions, these disputes require legal solutions that are both effective and compliant with Kenya's tenant protection framework.
LHK Advocates represents both landlords and tenants in disputes arising from commercial and residential tenancies. We appear before the Business Premises Rent Tribunal (for commercial tenancies covered by the Landlord and Tenant Act), the Environment and Land Court, and the Magistrate's Court depending on the nature and value of the dispute.
Our approach prioritizes practical outcomes. We pursue negotiated settlements where possible, but we are fully prepared to litigate when the other party is unreasonable. For landlords, we handle lawful eviction procedures, rent recovery, and lease enforcement. For tenants, we defend against unlawful eviction, challenge excessive rent increases, and enforce repair obligations.
