Holding
The new rent is Kshs.30,000/- per month, effective from January 1, 2024
Facts
The landlord served a notice to increase the rent from Kshs.5000/- to Kshs.15,000/- per month, citing market value. The tenant disputed the valuation and filed their own report.
Issues

- Each party bears their own costs
