Before paying rent in Lagos, inspect the home and the area well.
Visit during the day, at night, and when it rains.
Ask about water, power, security, flooding, service charges, and transport costs.
Speak with people who live nearby, inspect the rooms, test all fittings, and confirm the landlord or agent’s right to rent the home.
Read the tenancy terms and collect a valid receipt after payment.
A few checks can help you avoid fraud, hidden costs, and regret.
