Find Your Perfect Rental Home in Nigeria

Short-lets are fully furnished apartments rented on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis - perfect for business travelers, tourists, or those needing temporary accommodation. Short-lets usually include utilities, internet, and housekeeping services.

Standard rental deposits in Nigeria typically include: 1-2 years rent paid upfront for long-term leases, agency fees (usually 10% of annual rent), legal/agreement fees (5-10%), and a caution/security deposit (equivalent to 1-2 months rent). For short-lets, you typically pay per night/week/month with a smaller refundable security deposit.

For long-term rentals, utilities (electricity, water, gas) are usually NOT included - tenants pay separately. However, some serviced apartments include basic utilities. Short-lets typically include all utilities, internet, DSTV/cable, and sometimes housekeeping. Always confirm what's included before signing your lease.
