Whether you are a commercial property owner protecting rental yield or a business tenant facing unlawful eviction, rental disputes can quickly turn into costly operational disruptions. At Wangui Kuria & Co. Advocates, we act as dedicated legal partners in landlord-tenant relations. We combine deep knowledge of Kenyan property statutes with strategic court and tribunal advocacy to resolve tenancy conflicts swiftly, protect your monetary interests, and enforce valid lease terms.
Navigating tenancy disputes requires precise application of the Landlord and Tenant (Shops, Hotels and Catering Establishments) Act (Cap 301), the Rent Restriction Act (Cap 296), the Land Act, and the Auctioneers Act (Cap 526). Our litigation team represents property owners, estate managers, commercial tenants, and residential occupiers across:
Representing landlords and business tenants in "controlled tenancies" before the Business Premises Rent Tribunal (BPRT) under Cap 301.
Filing and defending references regarding statutory termination notices (Form A), rent reassessment applications, service charge disputes, and alteration of lease terms.
Executing lawful Distress for Rent proceedings under the Distress for Rent Act (Cap 293) and coordinating with licensed auctioneers under the Auctioneers Act.
Obtaining emergency court orders to attach tenant assets or block unlawful asset removal when rent arrears accumulate.
Filing summary recovery suits for unpaid rent, utility debts, and repair damages across the Magistrates' Courts and High Court.
Obtaining urgent temporary injunctions and status quo orders before the Environment and Land Court (ELC) or relevant tribunals to stop illegal lockouts, utility disconnections, or forcible evictions.
