Rent or Buy in Tanzania? Find Your Next Home on WhatsApp with DANI

Still scrolling endless WhatsApp groups to find a house?

If your house-hunt looks like forwarded photos, broken links, and “is this still available?” messages—you’re not alone.

House-hunting in Tanzania: what actually works

1) Get your shortlist right

• Commute first: Map travel time to work or school (avoid rush-hour traps).
• Utility check: Ask about water schedule, security, and backup power.
• Essentials within 10 minutes: Daladala routes, shops, clinics, and markets.

2) Budget smartly

• Beyond rent/price: Add service charges, deposit, agency fee, and moving costs.
• Compare areas: For the same budget, you may get more space a little further from the CBD.
• Decide must-haves vs. nice-to-have: Parking, balcony, ensuite, compound security.

3) Speed wins

• Be viewing-ready: Keep documents and deposit plan ready; good homes move fast.
• Visit in daylight: Check noise, ventilation, and water pressure in person.
• Confirm details on chat: Rent, terms, and move-in date to avoid surprises.

For agents and property owners: grow your reach with DANI

• More exposure: Tap into active renters and buyers already on WhatsApp.
• Pre-filtered leads: Get contacts who match your property type and price.
• Less back-and-forth: Share key details once; DANI routes the right prospects.

Why WhatsApp-first works in Tanzania

• Familiar, fast, and local: Everyone’s already there — no learning curve.
• Real-time responses: New listings and quick follow-ups keep momentum.
• Simple sharing: Forward to family, save photos, pin key messages.

Safety and clarity: protect your decision

• View before you pay: Always confirm property and landlord/agent details in person.
• Receipts and agreements: Keep written terms and payment confirmations.
• Ask specific questions: Meter type (LUKU), water source, service charges, and maintenance rules.
