ShiftTenant
Hello, landlords and property managers! Recent changes in Kenya’s housing regulations have left many of us scratching our heads. The new Housing Levy, introduced through the Finance Bill, 2023, brings a 1.5% deduction from employees’ gross salaries towards the National Housing Development Fund (NHDF). Employers are also required to match this contribution. While this initiative aims to boost affordable housing, it adds another layer of complexity to managing properties and finances. But don’t worry – ShifTenant is here to help you navigate these changes seamlessly.
