Penthouse renting on Kololo hill — what to expect

Penthouses sell the view — and inherit the roof. In Kampala rainy seasons, top floor is either the best decision you made or a leak you own emotionally.

Roof and gutters

Ask about maintenance schedule and last repair. Who responds when water enters?

Lift and backup power

Premium buildings should have both. Test lift and ask generator load.

Heat and glass

Large windows mean afternoon heat. Check AC or ventilation plan — and who pays the bill.

Security and access

Gated compounds vary. Visit at night if possible.

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.
