Price it right
The fastest way to let or sell is a realistic price. Published guides give a rough frame, indicative as of October 2026:
- Family houses for salaried earners commonly rent for about RWF 200,000 to 500,000 per month (KT Press).
- One-bedroom apartments in the city centre are quoted at about USD 200 to 400, and three-bedroom apartments at USD 500 to 1,000 (360nations).
- Government-backed affordable homes have been priced from about RWF 12 million to 35 million, which sets a benchmark for smaller homes (Rwanda Housing Authority).
Compare with similar properties in your area, and be honest about the access road, water supply and condition. For area context, see our neighbourhood guides, such as Kibagabaga and Kicukiro.
Taxes for landlords and sellers
Landlords
Rental income tax is a local government tax administered by the Rwanda Revenue Authority under Law No. 048/2023 (RRA):
| Annual taxable rental income | Rate |
|---|---|
| RWF 1 to 180,000 | 0% |
| RWF 180,001 to 1,000,000 | 20% |
| Above RWF 1,000,000 | 30% |
Taxable income is gross rent minus a 50 percent allowance for upkeep, plus a deduction for bank interest if the property was financed with a loan. The declaration is due by 31 January of the following year. Owners also pay immovable property tax, at 0.5 percent of market value for residential property, with one home used as the owner's dwelling exempt (RRA).
Sellers
When you sell, a tax on sale of immovable property applies: 2.5 percent of the value above RWF 5 million if you are not registered for income tax, or 2 percent if you are a registered taxpayer selling commercial property (RRA). Rwanda raised capital gains tax from 5 to 10 percent in 2025 (EY), while a primary residence is listed as exempt, so ask a tax adviser how it applies to your sale. The transfer itself is done on IremboGov and usually takes about 7 working days.
Why owners use a request and match service
Advertising a property on several social media groups often brings dozens of calls from people who are only curious, who cannot afford the rent, or who want a different area. Each of those calls can turn into a wasted viewing. Because every renter and buyer we work with has first told us their budget, area, bedrooms and dates, the people we bring to your door already know the key facts and the price.
It also helps owners who live outside Rwanda or who are busy at work. We handle the first questions, filter enquiries and group viewings, and you only step in when a serious candidate wants to agree terms. For sales, we ask buyers to confirm how they will pay, whether cash or a bank mortgage, before viewings, so you can plan the timeline with confidence.
Tips to let or sell faster
- Fix small repairs and make sure water, power, locks and security work before viewings.
- Clean the compound and clear personal items so rooms photograph well.
- Have documents ready: the title (UPI) for sales, and a clear written lease for rentals.
- If you are married or co-own the property, agree with your spouse or co-owners before you list. Their consent is needed for a sale.
- Answer enquiries quickly. Good renters often decide within a day or two.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a fee to list my property?
Send us your property details first. Any fee is agreed with you in writing before we market the property, so you know exactly what you will pay and when. There is no charge to send details.
What information do you need?
The type of property, location (sector and cell), size, number of bedrooms, asking price or monthly rent, what is included, and for sales the title status and UPI. Photos and a short description of the access road help a lot.
Do I need photos?
Good photos help renters and buyers decide faster. Daylight photos of every room, the compound, the view and the access road work best. If you do not have them, tell us and we can arrange a visit.
What tax do landlords pay on rent?
Rental income tax is declared to RRA by 31 January for the previous year. After a 50 percent deduction for upkeep, annual rental income up to RWF 180,000 is taxed at 0 percent, the next band up to RWF 1 million at 20 percent, and the rest at 30 percent.
What tax does a seller pay?
The tax on sale of immovable property is 2.5 percent of the value above RWF 5 million for sellers not registered for income tax, or 2 percent for registered sellers of commercial property. Ask a tax adviser about capital gains tax for your case.
Can I list a plot without a building on it?
Yes. Plots and land are in steady demand from people who want to build. Share the UPI, size, zoning if you know it, and whether water, electricity and a road reach the plot.
Do you advertise my property publicly?
Our first step is to match your property with people who have already sent us a request. That keeps your details private and avoids dozens of calls from people who are only browsing.
