The problem

Finding a home shouldn't cost a fifth of the rent.

In Nigeria, renting usually means paying an agent 10 to 20% of your rent, chasing listings that turn out to be fake, and handing over cash with no protection if something goes wrong.

Landlords struggle too. They can't easily prove they own the property, and they have little to go on when choosing a tenant.

What we built

Trust, built into every step.

Verified ownership, transparent pricing, and money that stays protected until the deal is done.

01

Zero agent commission

Tenants search and landlords list for free, always. No 10 to 20% agent fee on top of rent.

02

LUC-verified landlords

Each landlord's Land Use Charge document is checked against their name before their listing gets a verified badge.

03

Escrow-protected rent

Rent is held safely until both tenant and landlord confirm move-in. It is never released blind.

04

Real tenancy agreements

State-specific clauses, e-signed by both sides in the app, instead of a screenshot in a chat.

05

Ratings you can trust

Only tenants who completed a real rental can leave a review.

06

Credibility profiles

Tenants add employment and guarantor details so landlords can screen them before saying yes.

How it works

From search to keys in five steps.

  1. SearchBy area, budget and property type
  2. MessageTalk to the landlord directly, no agent in the middle
  3. InspectBook a viewing at a time that suits you
  4. SignTenancy agreement e-signed by both sides
  5. Pay into escrowReleased only once you confirm move-in

Two sides, one app

Fair for tenants and landlords.

For tenants

Free to search, protected to pay.

Search across Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and more. Message landlords directly, book inspections, pay rent through escrow, and keep every conversation, agreement and payment in one place.

For landlords

A flat 2.5%, not an agent's cut.

List for free, earn an LUC-verified badge, screen tenants by their credibility profile, sign in the app, and get paid straight to your bank once rent clears escrow.
