Around 2017 I was looking for house around surulere, saw one apartment on olx and it turned out someone else has taken the apartment according to the agent. So the agent told me he has other places. I was looking for a room self contain

Na so he carry me go one place wey be like Hut asking me to pay 250k, no ceiling (yet) , toilet and kitchen are in one place..

It's a storey building and guess what? The floor is supermarket so anytime I'm entering my own house I have to pass through the supermarket grin
They demarcated inside the supermarket so I can't steal anything if they close but I still need the supermarket key nevertheless..

I couldn't believe my eyes... I'm sure someone will still rent that kind apartment but not me!!!!
The mofo collected 5k# inspection fee for my hand

[quote author=foster212 post=81683387][/quote]It's the truth o.

I went with the Agent to a certain place here in Lagos. He entered a police station and I followed him. Later he took me into a room without windows, only to discover that it's a cell.

I took off before he could say Jack.

One took me to a house in Gbagada that year I think the landlady converted the security house to a room & parlour self contain. 2 toilets, a bedroom, parlour & kitchen she wanted 250k & request that I pay 2yrs plus agent & agreement 100k. Funny thing is that the entire apartment is about the size of my bedroom in my father's house. She told to pay immediately that because she likes me. I told to keep am to pay. I vamoose

Agent matter don tire me for lag.

I have encountered lots of agent palaver, but this is the most Unforgettable.


Ok. I want a room sefcon around ojota. After paying the mofo reg fee. He called another agent that call another agent.

(Meanwhile I already told my agent what I wanted. I even told him, don't bother to call me if there's any deviation from what I wanted)

We were like four sha. Naso we reach this house(not a new house but not bad storey building) around 2pm. Then we started knocking the door of one apartment (I was like maybe they want to take the key to my own apartment). We knocked for more than a hour but nobody responded. Meanwhile, we all can sense that people are inside because they curtain was stretched to a side for ventilation and door shows it was locked from inside. After a while, the door was opened. We saw two elderly people, a man and a woman believe to be couple.

Then the next show (me expecting someone to lead us to the vacant apartment after the waits),
my agent asked :

Nibo ni Yara ye wa with (where is the apartment ? with anger). The old man then told us to enter. Baba, we mean the house that is vacant, my agent asked again. The man said we should follow him.

Guys, this man showed us a room from their apartment of 2-bedroom flat. Hahahaha, at that point I was sweating profusely.

A tenant wanting to rent out a portion of the house to another person.

Wait, I ll be living and paying rent with this elderly people (that was the first thing that came to my mind)

I just kept quiet and calm. I refuse to listen to what is inside me, coz if I do, ...........

My agents, having shown him the kind of person I am in the past, almost beat up the other agent that took us to the house. He was visibly angry.

We chartered napep, to and fro, and alighting from the tricycle, I just stroll as if nothing happened, my agent was like, oga e wa San wo nw( I should come and pay the tfare), I was like, because I didn't cause a scene there, you still want me to pay. It's like you want to Ogun lakaye to visit you this night. I just walked on to join the next bus to my house.

Guys, if you re reading this and looking for a house in Lagos, Take your time.

Give it like one and half month to look for a house.

Budget like 6k for inspection

Engage like 4 agent(some will tell you to pay reg. fee. these agents most cases do not have a good apartment to rent, they are "anyhow" agent that will take you to anyhow apartment. Avoid them)

Do not rush (plead with the person you re squatting with to give you time.

Don't show desperation.

That the situation we found ourselves, huge housing deficit.

And lastly, Lagos is overpopulated. (The smallest state in landmass yet the highest in population density)

na wa o.

Drill a small hole at the bottom of the wall and put a small water pipe into the hole for the water to flow out. If outside the house is dry, you you can have temporary reprieve.

cry

Or call carpenter to build bed matress support like platform with plank all over the room... Or small wooden podium to cover the whole room.... Use carpet or rug to cover the wood surface.

You can build such for half of the room so you'll have dry space to put your things on.

Is extra cost... But since you're just 2 months in... You still have a long way to go in the house
