Rules vary across Eldoret. I don't have reliable information about short-term rental regulations specifically for Eldoret, Kenya. Short-term rental regulations in Kenya are still developing, and enforcement varies significantly by municipality. I recommend contacting Eldoret municipal authorities or the Uasin Gishu County government directly for current regulations. Verify requirements for the property's jurisdiction.
