Most rental activity happens in Kigali, split across the Gasabo, Kicukiro and Nyarugenge districts. Homes range from budget studios to luxury villas, furnished or unfurnished, in gated compounds or apartment blocks.

Things to know before you rent in Rwanda

  • Rents are quoted in Rwandan Francs (RWF), almost always per month. Confirm whether water, electricity and security are included.
  • Landlords commonly ask for a deposit of one to three months' rent, plus the first month up front. Get every payment in writing.
  • Decide early between furnished and unfurnished - furnished homes cost more but are ideal for short stays and new arrivals.
  • Always view the property in person (or send someone you trust) and verify the owner before paying anything. On HomRadar you contact owners directly, with no agent commission.
  • Most homes use prepaid "cash power" electricity; gated compounds with 24/7 security and a water reserve tank are common and worth asking about.
