How to rent a property through Sam Associates

Renting through a professional agency is simpler and safer than going direct. Here is the step-by-step process from first enquiry to moving in.

Tell us what you are looking for

Share your requirements — area, budget, number of bedrooms, preferred move-in date — either by browsing our available listings or by registering your brief with us directly. The more detail you give us, the better we can match you,

We shortlist suitable properties

Based on your requirements, we present you with a shortlist of available rental properties in Gaborone and surrounding areas — including those not yet publicly listed, drawn from our landlord network.

Property viewings

We arrange and accompany you on viewings at times that suit you — weekdays and Saturdays. Our agents know each property personally and can answer your questions on the spot, including the neighbourhood, security and available utilities.

Application & tenant vetting

Once you have found your property, we submit your rental application to the landlord — including employment verification and references. We guide you through every document required and keep you updated throughout.

Lease signing & deposit

We prepare a REAC-compliant lease agreement clearly setting out rent, deposit amount, lease term, maintenance responsibilities and all other conditions. Both parties sign and the deposit is handled transparently — no surprises.

Keys & move in

We conduct a joint property inspection on move-in day — documenting the condition of the property before you take occupation. This protects both you and the landlord regarding the deposit at the end of the tenancy.

Frequently asked questions — renting in Gaborone

How much does it cost to rent a house in Gaborone?

Rental prices in Gaborone vary significantly by area, size and condition. Bachelor flats typically start from around P2,500 per month, two-bedroom apartments from P4,500, three-bedroom houses from P7,000 and larger family homes from P12,000 upwards. Phakalane commands a premium. Contact Sam Associates for current available properties within your budget.

How much deposit do I need to rent in Gaborone?

The standard security deposit in Gaborone is typically one to two months' rent, paid upfront before occupation. The deposit is held by the landlord or managing agent and returned at the end of the tenancy, subject to the property being in the same condition as at move-in. Sam Associates documents the property condition on move-in day to protect both parties.

What is the typical lease term for rentals in Gaborone?

The standard lease term in Botswana is 12 months, although shorter and longer terms can be negotiated depending on the landlord's requirements. Month-to-month arrangements are less common in the formal rental market. Sam Associates advises on the most suitable lease structure for your situation.

Are utilities included in Gaborone rental prices?

In most cases, utilities — water, electricity and rates — are the tenant's responsibility and are not included in the monthly rent. Some furnished and serviced apartments include utilities in the rental amount. Sam Associates confirms exactly what is and is not included for each property before you view.

Can foreigners and expats rent property in Gaborone?

Yes. Non-citizens can rent property in Gaborone — a valid passport and current work or residence permit are typically required as part of the application. Sam Associates regularly assists expatriates, foreign professionals and corporate relocation packages with finding suitable rental accommodation in Gaborone.

Do you have furnished properties to rent in Gaborone?

Yes — both furnished and unfurnished rental properties are available across our portfolio. Furnished properties are popular with expats, short-term contract workers and corporate tenants. Contact us with your specific requirements and we will match you to available options.

What happens if there is a maintenance problem during my tenancy?

When you rent through Sam Associates, you contact us directly for maintenance issues — we liaise with the landlord and coordinate repairs on your behalf. You are never left chasing a landlord yourself. Our ongoing management service ensures issues are handled promptly and professionally throughout your tenancy.
