Hello,
I am moving to Nairobi in the next week or two and am looking for a place to live. I do not think that I will be able to view apartments before I move in, since I am currently still in the US. Do you think it is okay to communicate with a landlord by email/phone and then move in when I arrive? Or does this put me at a high risk for being scammed? I am not sure how to avoid this, other than staying in a hotel or short term accommodation when I arrive so that I can view apartments.
Also, what sorts or questions should I ask potential landlords? What sorts of security features should I ask about?
Thank you.
