It seems Lagos is the state with the highest rent. However, it is not all part of Lagos there are some parts of Lagos that you should avoid especially if there is nothing important keeping you there or else you won't be able to save anything, all your earnings will go to rent, food, and other bills.
I got a text from my next-door neighbor asking me if I also received a call from the landlord and I replied no, I asked her what he said and she told me the landlord said her rent had been increased to 650 000 Naira from 450 000 and after she flared up, he told her the lowest he can accept is 600 000 Naira.
If other landlords/ladies are increasing their rent, my landlord isn't supposed to try that because the house is problematic! The network is F9, Ventilation is F9, so many ants, and earthworms are found in the bathroom, different kinds of flies too in the bathroom and no one knows where they come from, molds on the wall because of leakage and so many other problems and he dares to increase the rent.
Unfortunately, the tenants have no choice but to succumb to the decisions of the landlord unless he/she is ready to move out, so my neighbor has no choice but to pay that ridiculous amount, as for me I am leaving already so if he messages me concerning rent increase, I will just say okay, I won't reveal my intention of moving out until I rent another apartment.
The other neighbor by my right is also moving out, her POP fell 7 months ago and the landlord did nothing about it, he didn't fix it because he fixed it 9 months ago before the thing fell again, but whose fault? so that one is also moving out as she can't bear the problems in the house anymore.
Yesterday, I was gisting with one of the tenants living upstairs and I mentioned how lucky he was that his apartment is upstairs, he said that is true but doesn't mean he didn't share in the problem too because most of his foodstuffs always rot because there was no ventilation in his room and sometimes he also has to climb his bed to find the network but his own is better than us occupying the ground floor.
I can't wait to finish school so I can run away from this area cos I should not be there if not because of school, paying millions of house rent is ridiculous and not something I would practice if not for the necessity and lack of other options. My mind is fixed and the decision is made now that I am parking out by May or before May!.
As a young man, if you have the funds, prioritize building a house even if it is a two-bedroom flat to save yourself from wasting funds on rent in the future... A man shared his story that he built three houses in 2019 and the total cost was 30 million Naira and the 3 houses are now worth above 100 million Naira this year... The cost of house building materials becomes more expensive every day so do not procrastinate if you have the funds now... Cement that was 3000 Naira in 2022 is now 10,000 Naira, it is just crazy! rent will only keep going up too, so think about it.
