4. The condition of the house

A lot of people don’t seem to put this into consideration, but it is very very important you know about the state of a property before you rent it.

If an agent takes you to a property under construction or being renovated, don’t ever pay in advance. You’ll be assured the renovation will be completed in no time but don’t ever fall for it. Many apartment finders have been scammed with properties like this. So, don’t ever be too forward to pay.

5. Get your money ready

If you’re not financially ready to get an apartment, don’t bother to look for one, because no landlord will allow you to move in when you’ve not completed your rent.

Also, apart from the rent, you must also prepare for other charges like agreement and commission fee, which may cost you N100k or N150k. There’s also a damage or caution fee which is said to be refundable after you decide to move out.
