In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at some things you must look out for before renting an apartment in Nigeria.

1. The surrounding or home’s security situation

One persistent problem that is on the rise in most places is the issue of security, thus; it is important to conduct a thorough inquiry before deciding where to live. It is important to conduct thorough research on this topic because some areas of Nigeria are known for their violence and ongoing unrest, robberies, cult conflicts, and other things that pose a threat to peace.

2. The attitude of the caretaker or landlord

Before selecting an apartment in any location, it’s necessary to take into account the landlord’s attitude and relationship with his renters. There have been numerous instances of conflict and unfairness between landlords and tenants due to a simple miscommunication that turned into something terrible. The majority of homeowners have a history of taking advantage of their tenants and exploiting them by establishing unreasonable and unfair policies.

3. The apartment’s background

What was the state of the apartment’s previous occupant? Was the apartment ever entered by burglars? Had there been a fire accident? What was the previous tenants’ complaint? Before renting an apartment, you should consider these and other questions. Making the move to rent an apartment without conducting adequate research can lead to regrets.

4. The topography or environmental conditions, particularly during the wet season

This is a significant problem that is prevalent in Africa, particularly in Nigeria. It is crucial to conduct your search for an apartment during the rainy season, whether you’re renting in an urban or rural area.
