See how we stack up against traditional property portals and general classifieds in Kenya.
Finding a place to rent in Kenya has traditionally meant dealing with high agent fees, outdated listings, and a high volume of fake broker scams on general classified sites.
Traditional property portals are dominated by agencies, and general classifieds allow anyone to post, which often leads to frustration and wasted time. Tuzama was built to fix this by connecting renters directly with landlords and property owners, with no middlemen involved.
We built Tuzama to be fundamentally different. Here is exactly how we stack up against the other options available in Kenya.
