Enforcement is the key word here. Announcing it is easy but implementation is the Koko.

I love the governor for this...

If only our Delta state governor can replicate this here in Delta state,the massive jubilation that will storm the whole state will be so massive.

Good one, Delta and Edo should follow suit please. Imagine an agent charging 500k for a rent of 1.6M as if Na me and him papa gather build my house.

All states in Nigeria should do same, the wickedness in the land is too much.



I know of a landlord that collects agent fee, even if na you use your two left legs find house go he compound he go still collect agent fee and one bottle of Campari.

He's nicknamed Mr. Campari in the street.

A very welcome development other states should emulate this, they don't have work to do just to inflate prices on properties that's not theirs.

Best news i have heard this year, nice one governor Nwifiru

These funny governors. They want to make it appear as if the high rents or cost of housing is the fault of the agents, when they the governors have refuse to invest in housing schemes.

As a matter of fact, this agent stuff is what is feeding majority of the youths these governors rendered jobless.

It is not even like we don't want to pay agency fees, given Nigeria doesn't have a robust automated system for house-seeking.

But which one is 400k agency fee on a 1m flat?
Almost 50% of the annual rent.

I want to relocate to Ebonyi right now.

Good one from Ebonyi

Until landlords and homeowners stop employing the services of these so called agents before this their greed will stop.

Agent go dey collect money pass landlord himself.

So, how will agents be compensated?

Hope they won't start to build it in the rent

The rest state can still learn from this, this is a welcome development..

This is a good news and I hope all Nigeria governors follow same direction

That's a good move and I hope other states in the southeast would do same especially Enugu. Those so called agents are criminals!

Good move but why not with immediate effect



Other states should emulate ebonyi state

It's easier said than done and besides how will someone looking for house to rent get information about them and location of not for agents 🤔

Well I think they should just make sure the 10% fees on commission on whatever they want to rent can be sticked to is the only answer here .


Even in Lagos state sanwo olu announced the 10% but yet only few adhered to it and they haven't arrested anyone yet of such act and it's still going on.


Government can only say words as cheap as anything but for them to manifest it effectively is the biggest problem 😡

Enugu is worse

Those guys are evil the way they behave I just don't gerrit

The Frowning Governor doesn't condone any nonsense

Beautiful

All those hungry and greedy people are more problems to the society than the evil government of the day.

LAGOS AND OGUN SHOULD COPY THIS IMMEDIATELY.

If it is your Property, he can't dictate what his earnings or commission is, you give him what you feel like (if at all you want to give). There is no Law that says you must pay anyone that brings a Tenant to your property.

This ain't no jokes. I stayed in Ebonyi when I was doing my 1 year mandatory internship in one of the federal hospitals there and I can tell beat my chest and say, this is a big welcome development.

Back then in 2022, I wanted to rent house with one yeye agent. This man took me to a very dangerous deteriorating and dilapidated house. Omoh, the house was literally smelling. Luckily, I saw a colleague there and he made an eye contact mk a fashie the house.

I say mk I play with the agent small. I went to the landlord behind the agent and asked him how much for the rent, he told me 90k. And he will fix tolielt, bathroom and blah blah. I said ok no wahala.

I want agent and asked him how much for the house, the wretched smelling idiot told me 210k. I open my mouth and shouted Jesussss. I told him, I want to go and ask the landlord and he told plainly that I have no business with landlord and I must go with his price.

I said ok. No walms. Mk he kukuma drop me along the road with his Keke. I paid him 2k for showing me the house and blocked his stupid ass.

Meanwhile this is a state whose population is not up to 2 million. Throughout my 1 year stay there, I have never experienced traffic, not even on there busiest capital. Very minute population.

So many empty shops in there international market. Very few sellers and buyers compared to states I have been to.

Ebonyi mall closes by 6pm as at 2023. They claim they are owing EEDC and there general power plant spoilt.

So many empty shops in the mall.

Well I believe by now things has changed a lot there shaa

Good news no doubt, but whoever is linking the landlord with people seeking accomodations won't be doing this for free, someone will still fill that gap.

EXCELENT!!!!

u type like who never go find house rent
8 more characters needed

It should be banned all over the country person no build house but him dey collect money pass who build house dat one no be magic

Agent billing is what’s give landlord moral to increase rents imagine agent getting 300k landlords will add his own since the agent is making it more than the landlord. Agent has zero capital investment. Property seekers will pay consultation fee and still pays for transportation. Even if they use the agent car they will buy fuel 20k and above.

Zero capital investment and yet making it more than landlord. This act is causing landlords to increase their rents. If people can pay agent 500k than they can pay 1.5m rent.

I don’t think they can ban agent because people still need their help in search of a property. Majority of people cant search house themselves. Agents have contacts. And Landlord do call to inform them of available property and the type of person they want. Agent is always needed for a middle man.
In as much as agent is causing rent increases they are still needed
