Things to know before you rent in Kigali

  • 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.
