Extend your lease before it is too late: An Analysis of the Supreme Court’s Decision in Harcharan Singh Sehmi and Another v Tarabana Company Limited and Five Others (Petition E033 of 2023)

In our experience, the most prudent approach is to apply for a lease extension at least five years before expiry. This rule of thumb exists for good reasons. In Kenya, there is a legal distinction between a lease extension and a lease renewal. An extension, if applied for before the lease expires, preserves the leaseholder’s legal interest and ensures continuity of title. Renewal, on the other hand, occurs after expiry, by which time the land has already escheated to the Government, the lessee’s rights have lapsed, and any new grant is subject to reallocation risks and fresh terms. When you factor in persistent delays at the land registry and the complications that can arise when life happens (such as the death of a co-tenant activating a procedural burden in the form of succession proceedings before any land dealings can occur), it becomes clear that waiting too long transforms a manageable administrative process into a precarious legal one.
