How Much Is Your Salary? How Many Months Salary Would Make Up Ur House Rent? by Kennedy00007(op): 7:30am On Mar 08, 2022
From how I programmed myself with my job 3 months salary and my rent money
(3bedroom flat)is ready no stress. I earn very close to 240k and married with a child.

My cousin that was transferred to Enugu I helped to secure a house a newly completed duplex where he resides with his family we decided to hangout on Sunday.

From my discussion with him I found out it takes him his six months salary to secure his rent.
For me it ain't funny ooo.

Pls guys how long does it take for you to acquire your landlords money?

Cause I have been saving to build on my land.

I pay rent monthly and it's around 20% of my monthly income. Using half of your salary for rent makes no sense

If 2 months of your salary is not enough to take care of your rent, you're just living above your means and slaving yourself for your landlord

It's been a while since I commented on Nairaland.

This comment is for those fools justifying Yahoo boys and insulting the great Nigeria. They think Nigeria has failed because their poor parents didn't provide for them and they are wallowing in poverty.

Anyway, my monthly salary is 800k plus allowances.

My house rent in 450k a year - 2 bedroom flat

There are so many legit ways to make money in Nigeria.

I won't teach anyone anything.

Go online and learn for yourself.

I was making 400k a month as a student so there is no excuse for any one.

All Yahoo boys must die horrible deaths. Amen

Earn between 190 to 200k ( varies with overtime).. Rent is 240k.
A month and a week pay is enough for my rent right now.

Your 1 month income should b able to pay your rent,max 1 n a half of your income.

Anything more than that u are working for your landlord
I understand your point but it doesn't work like that everytime.

So many factors will determine this.

Your Location
Your pay

A Bank worker in Lagos on the same level/Grade as a Bank worker in Ilesa Osun state for example:

They earn the same amount, let's say 300k.

The one in Ilesa will get a 2 bedroom flat for about 150k per annum.
The one in Lagos(let's say around Ojota/Oregun) will get the same flat with same facilities for about 600k per annum.

Some people also don't mind using 3 months salary to pay rent in a case where choosing an accommodation close to workplace gives them peace of mind and significantly reduces stress. Health is Wealth you know.

Overall, it can be justifiable if one has genuine reasons for going for an accommodation that gulps about 3 months salary. The person will make up for it in other areas like cutting cost on gadgets, devices, vacations, gifts, wears. Some will not even pay tithe to make up for it. It depends on individual.

I don't earn a salary. But one good month can pay my rent. Or two bad/low months.

. Aside salary, some people have side hustle. So with this, they can comfortably pay even quarter of their annual salary as rent.
