⚠ Note to tenant

This notice puts your landlord on formal written record that you dispute the eviction and will not vacate voluntarily. Serve by hand against written acknowledgement or by registered post. This notice does not by itself stop an eviction — if the landlord proceeds unlawfully apply to the Rent Restriction Tribunal, the Business Premises Rent Tribunal, or the court for an injunction.

⚠ Note to tenant

A rental deposit is your money. The landlord holds it on trust. Illegitimate deductions — for fair wear and tear, pre-existing damage, or without supporting evidence — are recoverable. This letter creates the written record for Tribunal or Small Claims Court proceedings if the landlord refuses.

⚠ IMPORTANT — LICENCE NOT TENANCY

A licence to occupy grants permission to use premises without conferring exclusive possession. If the arrangement gives the occupier exclusive possession for a term at a rent, it will be characterised as a tenancy regardless of what it is called. Seek legal advice if unsure.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

A settlement agreement permanently extinguishes legal claims. Once signed, settled claims cannot generally be revived. Both parties should seek independent legal advice before signing.

⚠ IMPORTANT — LEGAL NOTICE

A property sale agreement is one of the most consequential legal documents you will sign. Conduct a title search, confirm no encumbrances, and obtain independent legal advice from a qualified advocate or conveyancer before signing.

⚠ IMPORTANT — SWORN DOCUMENT

An affidavit is a sworn legal document. Making a false statement is a criminal offence and may constitute perjury. Only swear to facts within your personal knowledge. Do not sign until you are before a Commissioner for Oaths or authorised officer.

⚠ IMPORTANT — LEGAL NOTICE

A guarantee creates a serious personal financial obligation. Understand the difference between a pure guarantee (secondary liability) and a guarantee and indemnity (primary liability). Seek independent legal advice before signing.

⚠ IMPORTANT — LEGAL NOTICE

A Will that does not comply strictly with the Law of Succession Act, Cap. 160 (Kenya) or the applicable Wills Act (other jurisdictions) is void. Errors cannot be corrected after the testator's death. Have this Will reviewed by a qualified advocate before signing.

⚠ IMPORTANT — EMPLOYMENT vs AGENCY DISTINCTION

A caretaker who works exclusively for one property owner under direct supervision is almost certainly an employee regardless of what the agreement calls them. Kenyan courts look at substance, not label. Choose the engagement type that reflects the genuine nature of the relationship.
