About us
Tenant-firstrental discovery,built in Nairobi.
Traditional rental search often asks you to commit too early. PataSpace keeps discovery open and only charges at the moment you decide. It's built around outgoing tenants handing over to incoming tenants, with no agents in between.
“Browsing and posting happen in the PataSpace mobile app. This site is the front door.”

Renters can compare homes, media, and neighbourhood context before paying anything.
Pay only to reveal contact
Credits are used only when a renter decides to reveal the exact address and phone number.
Verification is built in
Listing capture, GPS-backed media, notes, and disputes stay inside one system.
Marketplace guardrails
Unlock pricing stays tied to rent, and commissions move only after both sides confirm the outcome.

Listings are captured on a phone, so the photos and location proof are stronger. Unlock prices are tied to rent, so you always know what a reveal is worth.
House tours
Tour first.Travel later.
Every handover in the PataSpace app is captured on site by the tenant moving out, with GPS-stamped photos and an optional walkthrough video with sound. You can walk through a home in Nyali from your sofa in Kilimani.

Step 1 · GPS-verified
Outgoing tenant posts from mobile
Listings are created with GPS-backed media, structured details, and verification notes — so what you see is what stands there.

Step 2 · Free
Incoming tenant browses for free
Renters see the listing context, media, map preview, pricing, and amenities before any paid action. Compare as many homes as you like.

Step 3 · M-Pesa
Credits are funded through M-Pesa
Wallet top-ups create pending records first, then settle after callback or reconciliation. You type your PIN into Safaricom's own prompt — PataSpace never sees it.
04
Step 4 · 3 per package
Unlock reveals direct contact
A valid unlock reveals the exact address and phone number and signals serious intent. Your first unlock opens a package of three houses, and reopening a house is free.
05
Step 5 · Audited
Both sides confirm the outcome
Confirmation records the move-in outcome inside the audited unlock timeline. Commissions move only after both sides confirm.
06
Step 6 · Refundable
Disputes and refunds remain available
If the listing or handover outcome is invalid, the dispute path can adjust the result — disputes, refunds, and confirmation are handled inside the product.

Browsing stays free, so you can compare homes before paying anything.
If you report a house that turns out to be unavailable, the contact is restored. Valid contacts you decide against still count.
No confirmed move-in means no success fee, so nobody pays for a dead end.
Privacy policy
Privateby design.
Our privacy policy is written to meet Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019. Wherever the Act gives you a right, the policy tells you how to use it, not just its name.
Unhappy with how your data is handled? You can complain to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner at odpc.go.ke at any time.
Browsing is anonymous — you only need an account to unlock a contact, post a listing, or get paid.
We never sell your personal data, and we run no advertising or tracking SDKs.
A listing shows an approximate map pin until someone pays to unlock the exact address and phone number.
You can delete your account, and everything attached to it, from inside the app at any time.
The honest part: once a contact is revealed, we can't un-reveal it. Treat an unlock the way you'd treat handing someone your number in person, because that's what it is.
