I have been searching for a new apartment for about 3 weeks now. During this house hunt I met a landlady who told me clearly that she initially pegged her house rent at N25,000/month for a 3-bedroom flat but agents kept disturbing house to increase it to either N30,000 or N35,000 per month.

Do we call that wickedness or...........?

It is her choice to either increase it or not and she need not tell you what the agents are advising.

...the issue is, why should they be pressurising her to increase the rent? You'll discover that agents are the ones responsible for yearly increment in house rents & high cost of acquiring land.

I feel the agents might contribute to it but the landlords are enjoying the increase or its it the agent that collects the increment on the rent?

To me i dont believeve the Landlady there is no way an agent can inflence the increment if she does not be a party to it the woman wants to chop alone
