Understanding Common Property Disputes in Nairobi

Nairobi, as Kenya's bustling capital and a hub of real estate activity, frequently sees a range of property disputes. These often involve complex issues arising from land ownership, including fraudulent title deeds, adverse possession claims, and disputes stemming from the Land Registration Act, 2012. Other common conflicts include breach of sale agreements, boundary disputes, landlord and tenant disagreements often governed by the Rent Restriction Tribunal, and disputes related to inheritance of property. Issues also arise from subdivisions, amalgamations, and development projects.
