Good day house, please I need to relocate to Cotonou and therefore need guidance from people that are well experienced in this country.
First I've been trying to search online for accommodation but there are no recent information to this effect: I'll like to know how much a room n parlor self contain will cost per month.
Also, I'll like to work with NGOs there, and pending the job, I possibly will like to engage in a little business for sustenance before getting the job. However if there are jobs available for a start
Kindly help, you response is much anticipated. Thanks

ask God for directions, pray hard too, if it's his wish you will get there

Hmmmm I hope its better off naija

Well Accomodation is slightly different there compared to Nigeria. A good self contained apartment room and parlour will cost about 30kcfa(20k₦ approx) per month, also expect to pay at least three months rent in advance as caution which would be given back whenever you eventually ɗecide to move elsewhere more like an aɗvanced damages fee. Electricity and water bill is on the high too. For a stanɗard house with friɗge, tv, sound system, laptops, fan expect to pay around 20-25kcfa extra

In addition to this, if you are not financially buoyant, do not rent an apartment upstairs as this require using surface pumping machine to get water in real time. This unavoidable use of pumping machine will substantially boost your electricity bil - especially if you are using prepaid meter.

Also, caution are usually not given back, so be smart to use some month for free to reduce your outstanding caution.

Peace!

Thank you so much for sharing, I really appreciate

@Dubaiking I really Appreciate

@Folakemi I hope so too, atleast regular power supply and water with a bit comfortable accommodation will be okay for a start, after all half a loaf is better than none.
Thank you so much
