Key Legal Considerations for Private Lenders
Private lending in Kenya, particularly in a commercial hub like Mombasa, is subject to a stringent set of legal requirements designed to protect both lenders and borrowers. The Money Lenders Act, 2022, is a cornerstone, mandating licensing and regulating interest rates, fees, and disclosure requirements. Lenders must ensure they are properly licensed by the relevant authority to operate legally. Beyond this, loan agreements must comply with the general principles of contract law as enshrined in the Contracts Act, 2019. This includes clarity on repayment terms, interest calculation methods, collateral provisions, and default clauses. For secured loans, perfecting the security interest under the Land Registration Act, 2012, and the Movables Property Security Rights Act, 2017, is crucial for effective recovery. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd ensures all these aspects are meticulously addressed, offering comprehensive legal drafting and advisory services.
