I need your advice please 🙏🙏🙏 long post but please bear with me So I currently live in a "boys quarter" apartment where I share toilet with about 13 other neighbors living in the face me face you plus the rest of the BQ tenants. The good side of the house The house is just about 2 minutes from the main road (trek able) so I don't spend anything on TFare when I'm going to the bus stop. The area also has about 23hrs of power supply which is very rare to find in some other places in Lagos. All of which are important because I work hybrid and electricity and transportation are major expenses for anyone in Lagos . The bad side of the house I share bathroom and toilet with about 13 other neighbors living in the face me face you plus the rest of the BQ tenants and the toilet is at the far extreme of the house. I pay someone each time it's my turn to clean the toilet and sweep. I also share prepaid meter with everybody (about 15 plus shops) which causes issues whenever we need to buy units and all. The house has a rule of always switching off the light during the day and putting it on at night by 8pm which means if I have to use light during the day, I either buy additional unit (which the whole house will use because I can't use it alone - no personal switch) or turn on my generator. No water in the compound so I have to pay someone to help me with fetching water or I carry bucket The neighbors are one of the most bitter people I've ever seen, but the landlord doesn't stay with us I pay about 7,500 monthly on electricity based on this arrangement. The situation I plan on renting a room self contain (budget 300k max) around the area but I couldn't find any, other places are either too far, not enough power supply, shared prepaid meter, or even sub par apartment for high price. So as an alternative, I'm thinking about liaising with the landlord to renovate my apartment, get a personal prepaid meter and also channel water from around the neighborhood. The budget which shouldn't exceed 200k. Considering all of this, what should I do? 16 Likes 2 Shares |
