How Are You Coping With The Ridiculous Rent In Lagos by Theyemmie: 8:01pm On Mar 26, 2023
My house hunting journey has been horrible, is it the single room that they convert into self con,kitchen that two people can't fit in grin grin,or the self con that the bathroom is outside grin grin

What infuriates me the most is the agents fee ,are these people insane??
House rent 350k agreement stuff and stuff 210k
A friend rented a self con in ketu ,rent is 435k total package 700k shocked shocked,do these people even have conscience
Is this not extortion??
Are they not supposed to look into these things
Be like na ikorodu I go go Las las grin grin

700K is about $1000. I know Nigerians in Cali or NY are salivating at the prospect of paying that a year for a room!

Sometimes all you need to do is ensure you avoid paying the agreement and commission especially if you aren't in a hurry.
I got an apartment recently and one agent was going to charge me close to 350k extra for just a room and parlor self contain. I was lucky I already had eyes on someone's apartment for a few months. He just renewed the rent on my behalf and that was it. I could have spent close to 900k if not for this guy. Then again, location matters.

Rent is not the problem it's the stupid money they add on top that is almost equivalent to your rent
