What Should Be in Your Zimbabwe Lease Agreement, and the Clauses That Quietly Favour the Landlord

A lease clause does not have to be illegal to work against you. This guide covers what a Zimbabwean residential lease should contain, and then goes further: the specific, entirely standard clauses that shift risk, cost, and leverage toward the landlord, including a landlord's right over your belongings that exists whether your lease mentions it or not.

How to Screen a Landlord or Rental Agency in Harare Before You Sign

Almost everything written about rental screening in Zimbabwe explains how a landlord should vet a tenant. This guide reverses that order, and covers a specific, common Zimbabwean scenario most rental guides skip entirely: a landlord who lives on the same property as the cottage or room you are renting, and the personal restrictions that arrangement can bring with it.

How to Find and Evaluate a Property Manager in Harare: What to Look For and What to Avoid

Property management in Harare is an unregulated service; anyone can call themselves a property manager. The difference between a competent property manager and an incompetent one is the difference between a rental property that reliably generates 5% net yield and one that generates disputes, defaulting tenants, and maintenance crises. This article gives you the evaluation criteria that matter.

Septic Systems, Sewer Failures, and Water Table Contamination in Zimbabwe: The Cluster Home & Chitungwiza Connection

Harare's own sewage treatment plants are receiving more waste than they were built to handle, and one of them discharges untreated waste into the lake that also serves as Harare's drinking water source. This guide explains what actually happens to waste in a Zimbabwean home, why cluster housing is overwhelming suburbs that were supposed to be safe, and what a buyer needs to verify about sewage and septic infrastructure before signing anything.

The Norton and Ruwa Property Market: What Is Driving Growth, What Buyers Should Know, and What the Risks Are

Norton and Ruwa are the two satellite towns absorbing the most residential development pressure from Harare's middle-income buyers priced out of the capital's established suburbs. Combined, they represent Zimbabwe's fastest-growing residential development corridor; but they operate under different municipal authorities, with different infrastructure reliability profiles and different title risks from the development activity that is driving their growth.

Property Inheritance in Zimbabwe: Deceased Estates, Wills, and How Property Passes After Death

Inherited property is one of the most common sources of prolonged family dispute in Zimbabwe, and the disputes are almost always caused by the same things: no valid will, a surviving spouse who does not know their rights, and heirs who do not understand what the administration process requires. This article explains the Deceased Estates (Wills, Inheritance and Protection) Act in plain language and maps the full process from death to transfer of title.

Zimbabwe Property Law and Regulation Changes 2026: The Complete Timeline for Buyers, Sellers, Agents and Developers

Zimbabwe's property market has gone through more regulatory change in the first half of 2026 than in the previous decade combined: a new VAT rate, a presumptive rental tax, mandatory title deed digitisation, a parallel development ban, abolished building permits, mandatory short-let registration, a demolition campaign affecting over 5,000 homes, and a live land ownership dispute in Marondera. All of it traces back to one $3 billion state land corruption inquiry. This is the complete timeline.

Cession and title deed are not two versions of the same thing. One gives you enforceable ownership, the other gives you a personal claim against whoever sold to you.

SI 76 of 2025 Explained: What Zimbabwe's New Title Deed Law Means for Buyers, Sellers and Mortgages

Statutory Instrument 76 of 2025, the Deeds Registries Regulations, 2025, requires every holder of a paper title deed in Zimbabwe to submit it to the Deeds Registry for validation and replacement with a "securitised" deed within 24 months. It was gazetted on 18 July 2025 and repeals the 2018 Deeds Registries Regulations. If you are buying, selling, or financing a property right now, this affects your transaction directly, not just your long-term paperwork.

Zimbabwe has a functioning mortgage market, but it is smaller, slower, and more conditional than first-time buyers expect. FBC, CBZ, ZB Bank, and CABS all offer mortgage products with meaningfully different eligibility criteria, LTV ratios, and processing timelines. This article covers what each institution actually requires in 2026 and gives you a realistic picture of the approval timeline, so you do not make an offer contingent on mortgage approval you cannot get in time.

Marondera vs Mutare vs Bulawayo 2026: Which Zimbabwe Property Market Is Moving Fastest?

Marondera's property boom is not a social media story that got ahead of the facts. It is traceable to a specific, sequenced infrastructure decision that reached Marondera years before it reaches Mutare, and a distance from Harare that Mutare cannot close no matter what else improves there. Whether that makes Marondera a better bet than Bulawayo depends on what you are actually optimising for, and this piece sets out the framework rather than the hype.
