Compliance and safety

Be licensed. Arrive safely.

Kenya has tightened rules on short-term rentals, and guests want proof they are safe. Staybite helps hosts get and stay compliant, and gives guests an optional arrived-safely check-in.

What you get

Everything in the pack

TRA registration

Short-term rental operators have been ordered to register with the Tourism Regulatory Authority. We help prepare and file the paperwork.

Landlord consent

If you sublet, registration reportedly needs the landlord to allow short-term rental in writing. We provide the letter pack.

Levy reminders

A 2% tourism levy on short-term rentals has been reported. We remind you monthly so nothing is missed.

Safety inspection

We prepare your property for the safety checks reportedly required, with a clear checklist.

Staybite Verified

A badge for homes that meet our standards: registered, inspected and guest-ready.

Arrived safely?

On request, we message guests on arrival day and again at night. They reply with one word.

Questions answered

Is this legal advice?

No. Check current TRA and KRA rules and speak to a qualified professional for legal and tax matters. We help with the process and paperwork.

Are the rules certain?

Rules have been changing. Dates, levies and requirements here come from public reports and may change, so we confirm the latest before we prepare anything.

What does Staybite Verified mean?

The home is registered or in progress, inspected, guest-ready and managed to our standards.
