The county government of Nairobi is taking drastic measures to recover land rate arrears from landlords, impacting tenants significantly.

• Ksh 10 billion is owed to City Hall by landlords, prompting a crackdown.
• Charles Kerich, the County Executive for Finance and Planning, indicated that tenants might have to pay rent directly to the county.
• The county plans to auction properties of over 1,000 defaulters, risking loss of essential services like water and waste collection for tenants.
