To begin with, who started all the mess we're in today? When the government cares less about the public and their welfare, every individual follows suit. If the governor or president enforces a law that says rents must be collected either every 6 months or monthly, dem no born that agent to misbehave. The government also has the right to ensure value for money.

because many don't leave the shores of Nigeria, they dont tend to know how much they're suffering in the hands of their leaders they're praising. In kenya, rent is paid monthly. Nothing like all these ridiculous agency fees. Same in Botswana,Rwanda,etc. These are the countries we call mushroom.Rents are fixed based on some facilities in place. You don't need to move in your fridge, washing machine and cooking gas. But here, an agent could take you to the slum and ask you to pay 2m naira. Who would you cry to? Democracy in Nigeria is the opposite of it's true meaning. They don't care if you exist or not.

Has usual,that's Ago palace way, formerly musibau mojeeb street. The agent is not lieing someone will even add on top to get the house. Ago has become a crazy place with vampire agents.

Beuberry:
Is that a house or refuse dump?
Naso my bf took me too one agent like that in June. All houses he showed me were trash in kogi.

GreenCovering:

See 2.5m house, house I no fit pay 200k for.

The Abnormalities going on in Nigeria with agents, and government isn't doing nothing about it.

The government should restrict all agent fees to 5-10% of the actual rent.

Imagine these idiots charging x2 of actual rent as agent fee... It has gotten so worse to extend that even if you meet the landlord yourself, he'll still charge agent fee.

If you recently relocated to Lagos from the North, I won’t lie, it will be difficult.

House agents in Lagos are the most exploitative people ever.

It’s one sector that I’m surprised the government haven’t stepped in to regulate.

In Lagos, everyone wants to exploit everyone, everything is an opportunity to cash out, it’s why Lagos is a difficult place to live.

The government is making life hard, while Lagosians are making it harder for themselves with their greedy nature.

Na only work they carry people come Lagos, if not, Lagos na trashy city.

Lagos is overrated.

Demand for house in Lagos is extremely high. Just normal for rent to go high with demand

This is exactly the issue. No matter how exorbitant the price is, there is always someone eager to pay. This is what will emboldened these agents to keep on increasing the prices.

keemsleek:
No the house is available, the owner lives at the other side. That's the street I grew up. You get old houses less than 2m at ago.

Kobicove:
Overrated or not it's the Centre of gravity in Nigeria!

This is where the action is!

MemoriesAndMe:
Bro, have you thought of the cost of building a house today in Nigeria? If a landlord decides to start getting his rent monthly from tenants, that landlord will die of heart attack with the crazy tenants that may owe him or her for 6 months and above.

I'm a landlord, and I don't want to rent any of my flats out to any tenants anymore, worst case, convert it to a hotel or AirBnB units.

Who has the time to be chasing tenants around for rent every month? Even the rent they pay will not let you recover what you spent to build the house plus the recurring maintenance fees in about 30 years.

U
For how many room?

sslcrypt:
As par very disgusting place. The day I mistakenly stepped out of my estate to visit someone the smell from the gutter was horrible. I couldn't believe people breath that nonsense everyday.
