Terms of use

Chuka Homes is an online notice board for houses, land and commercial property to rent or buy in Chuka and nearby towns in and around Tharaka-Nithi County. We are not an agent, landlord or party to any tenancy or sale. Any agreement is between the buyer or tenant and the owner.

You may only list a property you own, or are authorised to let or sell as an agent. You must say honestly whether you are the owner or an agent. Photos and details must be of the actual property, and the price shown must be the real rent or asking price.

Listing fees are paid by M-Pesa and are shown on the pricing page. A listing is checked before it goes live and runs for the paid period. If we refuse a listing for breaking these terms, the fee is refunded to the same M-Pesa number.

Mark a listing as taken or sold as soon as it is let or sold. Listings that are reported as taken or sold and not updated may be removed.

Searching and contacting owners is free. Chuka Homes never asks buyers or tenants for a viewing fee, booking fee or deposit.

Do not pay anyone before you have seen the property and met the owner or caretaker in person. Chuka Homes cannot recover money sent to a third party.

We keep your name, phone number and email so owners and tenants can reach each other, and to send you notices about your listings. We do not sell your details.

We may share information with the police or other authorities in Kenya when required by law, for example when investigating a scam.

We may remove any listing or account that we believe is misleading, offensive or unlawful, without refund where the terms were broken.

Chuka Homes is provided as is. We do our best to keep listings accurate and the site available, but we are not liable for losses arising from a listing, a viewing or a tenancy.

These terms are governed by the laws of Kenya.
