Your safety is our priority. Learn how to stay safe while finding or listing accommodation.
Viewing Safety Tips
• Always bring a friend or family member when viewing a property
• Schedule viewings during daylight hours when possible
• Meet in public areas first before going to the property
• Inform someone of your viewing location and expected return time
• Trust your instincts — if something feels wrong, leave immediately
• Verify the person showing the property is the actual landlord or agent
Landlord Verification Process
All landlords on CampusHub Housing undergo a verification process to ensure legitimacy. The process includes:
• National ID or passport verification
• KRA PIN validation
• Business registration confirmation (where applicable)
• Phone number and email verification
• Ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity
Look for the verified badge on landlord profiles to confirm they have completed our verification process.
Scam Prevention
Watch out for these common scams:
• Too good to be true: Luxury properties at unrealistically low prices
• Upfront payments: Demands for deposit before viewing the property
• Pressure tactics: Claims that others are about to book the same property
• No physical viewing: Reluctance to allow in-person property inspections
• Payment outside platform: Requests for direct bank transfers or mobile money
• Fake landlord: Someone claiming to be the owner of a property they don't own
Remember: Never send money before viewing a property or signing a lease agreement.
