Bro, check out the ones in Lagos
Lagos dey play...

The amount you pay as charges here is almost times two of the actual rent.

Agreement,
Legal Fee,
Agent Fee,
Caution Fee,
Community and Development Fee,
In some cases, drink money for landlord.

You go just weak.

The additional N350,000 added to the rent is likely to be for Agency, Agreement and refundable deposit.
Now that he has given them his house without agreement and caution, hope he will not complain if something is damaged tomorrow? Secondly, whenever there is any trouble with the tenant, hope he will also not call the agent to intervene?
The truth is that the additional fees are for the professionals he engaged or how does he intend to pay for the services of the Agent that brought the tenant and the lawyer that will prepare the agreement? The caution deposit is for a security that the landlord will keep to be refunded whenever the tenant is moving out if nothing is damaged.
You think the man doesn't know what agency is ? The evil agent clearly inflated the rent .

Lol, it’s very possible, so you mean apart from internet, giving money to strangers isn’t possible in real life?
Or do you know the worth of the landlord?
People gift money. I'm not doubting that. But the story up there na lie.

The house owner is a business person. If the story said he told the couple to pay 600k, that's more believable. But like always because of the hate for house agents, people will run along with the story to claim some imaginary victory. Hate on house agents is justified though.

It’s good to collect agent fees but it’s too much , agent fees should be around 20 to 25 percent of the rent.

Not every agent, moreover it's wrong for agent to ask landlord to increase he's rent.
kingthreat:
House agents are a very greedy, lazy and wicked people. They need to be checked by the government as their excesses are getting out of hands.
Then when I was house hunting, I got referred by a personal friend to a 3-bed apartment for 1.2M which was undergoing a renovation. I even saw the property manager who was ready to accept payment immediately. 3 days later, one house agent on my contact list put that same property on his whatsapp status for 1.6M. I was like what manner of madness is this? I got to learn that what these guys do is, they go and talk to landlords to inflate their prices to satisfy their own greed. They are the reasons for the excessive rent costs in big cities like Lagos, PH, Abuja, etc.

If people can gift money to stranger, why can’t they reduce fees for tenants? It’s very possible. He might do that to disgrace the agent for not faithful.

Lmaooo... Dolts are already calling this guy an house agent because he laid down a logical angle. It's easy to see people with nothing going on in there life. If not, they will see the landlord is already playing a losing game from kickoff.

The story is make believe. But feel free to believe whatever you want because of some faux hatred on house agents.

It is not the responsibility of the tenant to pay agreement fee but that of the landlord who is the one employing the service of a lawyer.

If the tenant is to pay for the lawyer, let him or she seek the service of one and pay the lawyer directly.

Wrong practice have been normalised for too long.

The agent didn't even want the owner to see him as an agent. Why? Na thief eyes dey pinch am.

He go cheat the landlord and cheat the tenant at the same time instead of him settling for his own commission and percentage on rent.

Bro forget this talk. Who build house for rent then dish them out like father Christmas? Maybe you don't know until you recoup your construction expenses, you are on a clock year in, year out to mean your ROI. We are not even taking maintenance expenses on the long run, if the landlord or landlady sis not ignorant or greedy.

House renting business is not Telemundo bro.

Some house agent are agents of darkness,sent from beneath to ruin peoples effort of getting a good shelter as a result of high charges and the funny part,most of them, don't even own a 🏡🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠any day..

if you want to rent a house, ask if it is DIRECT 😟some has chains and links of agent attached and ready to exploit one ,to settle themselves.

In addition to lawyer's,they are making it difficult for people,with their agreement fee's and w!cked advice....

Agreement: 10%

Agency: 10%

Caution: 10% (It's not every landlord that demands caution fee btw)

Now, 10 x 3 is 30%

30% of 600k is 180k naira

Ask that agent to do a breakdown for extra 350k

Imagine over 50% of annual rent as extra charges

😂
