What to check before you sign near USIU-Africa

Student leases here are short and budgets are tight. Insist on seeing the unit before paying, never send a deposit to hold a viewing, and check that the estate gate is manned overnight rather than only during the day.

For this audience the single most important specification is 24-hour security. Manned security is the default expectation across every Nairobi price band, from a single askari at a Kasarani gate to a three-shift rota with an alarm-response contract in Gigiri. What varies is not whether there are guards but whether the arrangement actually works at 02:00 on a Sunday.
