Rentals Done Properly in Thika's Real Market
Thika's rental market moves quickly, especially for two- and three-bedroom units within walking distance of Thika Town Centre or the main bus stage. Landlords who price correctly and present their property well fill vacancies in days rather than weeks. Tenants who know where to look and have their documents ready — ID, pay slips or business income evidence, reference letter — secure good places before they even hit the major portals. Astronomyharborq positions both sides well. For landlords, we set a defensible asking rent, market the property across our network, screen applicants for income adequacy and rental history, and draft a legally sound tenancy agreement. For tenants, we maintain an active register of available units updated weekly, arrange viewings that don't waste your time, and explain every clause in the lease before you sign anything.
The Rental Process Step by Step
Whether you're a landlord or a tenant, here's exactly what working with us looks like.
Tenant Screening
Every applicant goes through employment or income verification and a reference check. We won't recommend a tenant we wouldn't feel comfortable vouching for in writing.
Lease Drafting
Our tenancy agreements are written in plain English and cover deposit terms, maintenance responsibilities, notice periods, and re-entry rights — no ambiguous clauses that cause disputes later.
Handover Support
We document the property's condition at move-in with a written inventory so the deposit conversation at the end of the tenancy is straightforward and fair for everyone.
What We Don't Handle in Rentals
We're a letting and rental placement agency, not a property management company. Once a tenancy is in place, day-to-day maintenance calls, rent collection, and landlord-tenant disputes sit with you and your tenant directly. If you need ongoing management, we're happy to point you toward a reputable property manager in Thika. We also don't place tenants in properties that have unpermitted structures or lack a valid water connection — that's a recipe for problems we'd rather you avoid before they start.
“I had a bedsitter and a one-bedroom unit sitting empty for three months before I came to Astronomyharborq. They relisted, screened five applicants, and both units were occupied within four weeks. The tenancy agreements they drafted have held up perfectly — we're now in month ten with no disputes.”
— Agnes Wambui, Landlord, Thika North
