Navigating the Legal Framework: The Landlord and Tenant (Shops, Hotels and Catering Establishments) Act

In Kenya, tenancy agreements are primarily governed by the Landlord and Tenant (Shops, Hotels and Catering Establishments) Act (Cap. 301) and the Registered Land Act (Cap. 300), along with general contract law principles. Understanding the stipulations within these frameworks is crucial for both parties. This Act provides specific protections for tenants in business premises, ensuring fair treatment and preventing arbitrary eviction. Mwenda Njagi & Co.
