I really do find the House renting system on the Mainland very funny. Having stayed on the Island for a couple of months, i find life really comfortable and easy here but for some reason i have to move to the Mainland.
A few days back, i went House hunting on the Mainland with a supposed one year budget, only to discover that most houses here are compulsorily a 2 year down payment, an absurd Agent fee(Whether or not an agent helps me find the apartment), an Agreement fee(Payment for a lawyer to draft an agreement between myself and the Landlord, which in some cases the Landlords drafts themselves) and a Caution fee.Is it just me or does anybody else find the Housing system on the Mainland quite expensive?
Why should i have an apartment of 150k per year and i get asked to pay 50k Agent fee, 50k Agreement, 20k caution.
The major problem i face here is
1) Compulsory 2 year payment
2) Agent fee isn't fixed anybody gets to quote whatever they like as an agent fee. In Port Harcourt, there is a fixed 10% agent fee(that is if you found the house with the help of an agent).
3) Why the Heck should i pay 50k for agreement fee (WETIN WE DEY AGREE FOR SELF CONTAIN:grinning:)Is there a reliable platform that can hook me up with a place but eliminating at least 2 of the problems i face above?
Is there a platform that could hook me up with a possibly Monthly rent? I think i would find it more comfortable paying rent on a monthly basis(wouldn't mind paying more) instead of this yearly or 2 year sh*t.
