Digital Leases Under Kenyan Law
Navigating digital contracts can be confusing for property owners. However, under the Kenya Information and Communications Act, electronic signatures hold the exact same legal weight as traditional wet-ink signatures, provided certain security and consent criteria are met.
Making E-Signatures Binding
When executing leases digitally, platforms must capture clear intent to sign from both landlord and tenant. Automated logging of IP addresses, device signatures, and secure timestamps creates an immutable audit trail, ensuring your lease agreement is fully enforceable in the Rent Restriction Tribunal.
