Eviction Litigation Advocates in Kenya.

An eviction is rarely just a legal procedure—it is a high-stakes, highly sensitive conflict where a single procedural slip can result in severe financial liability, court injunctions, or costly damage claims. At Wangui Kuria & Co. Advocates, we represent property owners, real estate developers, commercial landlords, and occupiers in complex eviction disputes. Whether you need to lawfully recover possession of your land from encroachers or defend against an aggressive, unlawful self-help eviction, we bring decisive courtroom strategy and strict statutory compliance to protect your rights.

Core Eviction Litigation Practice Areas

Navigating evictions in Kenya requires precise compliance with Part VIII (Sections 152A–152I) of the Land Act, the Landlord and Tenant (Shops, Hotels and Catering Establishments) Act (Cap 301), the Rent Restriction Act (Cap 296), and constitutional protections under Articles 40, 43, and 47. Our legal team handles:

• Lawful Land & Property Recovery (Sections 152A–152I Land Act):

1. Executing lawful land recovery processes for private landowners against illegal squatters, trespassers, or uncooperative occupants.

2. Securing formal court eviction orders from the Environment and Land Court (ELC), issuing mandatory statutory notices (30-day notice requirements), and coordinating enforcement through the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) and licensed auctioneers.

• Defense Against Illegal Evictions & Self-Help Lockouts:

1. Obtaining urgent ex parte injunctions and status quo orders to halt illegal "self-help" evictions—such as unauthorized gate lockouts, roof removals, utility cut-offs, or violent property destruction.

2. Filing suits for financial damages, mesne profits, and human rights violations arising from forcible, unconstitutional evictions.

• Commercial & Residential Tenancy Eviction Proceedings:

1. Representing landlords and tenants before the Business Premises Rent Tribunal (BPRT) and Rent Restriction Tribunal (RRT) in tenancy termination, persistent rent default, and lease expiration disputes.

2. Drafting and serving valid statutory notices to terminate controlled tenancies under Cap 301 (Form A).

• Stay of Execution & Injunction Applications:

1. Filing emergency applications for stay of execution pending appeal to prevent illegal demolitions, premature eviction enforcement, or loss of commercial assets.

• Public Land & State Agency Eviction Challenges:

1. Challenging arbitrary or unprocedural eviction notices issued by municipal boards, county governments, or state agencies that fail to respect fair administrative justice under Article 47.
