Expat and corporate relocating to Kololo — rent guide

Relocating under deadline is when tenants pay for unverified listings. Kololo attracts diaspora searches — scammers know that.

Never pay full deposit from abroad without verification

Use someone you trust on ground for viewing, or video walk-through live — not a recorded tour only.

Corporate packages

Some employers offer housing allowance — match UGX budget to realistic Kololo inventory, not brochure fantasy.

Lease length

Landlords may prefer 12 months. Negotiate break clauses if your assignment is uncertain.

What we are not saying

We are not saying every agent is bad. We are not saying every Facebook ad is a scam. We are not saying an app replaces visiting the property.

We are saying you deserve a rental market where location and price are not mysteries — and where founders do not inflate numbers to impress investors.
