Lagos rentals, posted by the tenant moving out

Rent from the person moving out.

They know the place better than an agent who's never lived there: the light, the water, the flooding, the landlord. You rent straight from the landlord, with no agency fee and no inspection fee.

Amounts confirmed with the landlord by the tenant moving out.

Moving out? Your place can pay you one last time.

You already know your landlord and you already live there. Help the next tenant find your place, and get paid when they move in. It's a side hustle, not a job.

Ask your landlord

"I'm moving out. Can I find you the next tenant?" Confirm the rent and any other charges with them.

Post your place

Take photos of every corner with your phone and answer a few quick yes-or-no questions. It only takes a few minutes.

Show it to a serious tenant

They've already seen the photos, the price and the location, so you won't be showing it to ten people.

Get paid

When the new tenant moves in and confirms everything was as described, you get paid.

A few minutes of questions and some phone photos. When your place is rented, you get paid. The amount depends on your rent, roughly ₦10,000 to ₦50,000. We're still finalising it and will confirm yours before you post. No obligation: if nobody takes it, you move out as normal.

Why rent this way

The person moving out has nothing to hide. They only get paid if you're happy with the place.

The honest truth

Hours of light, water, flooding, noise, and whether the landlord fixes things. Answered by someone who lives there.

No agency or inspection fees

You rent straight from the landlord. You pay what the landlord charges, shown upfront, and nothing for viewing.

The real location

How far from the main road and the bus stop, before you go. No more "it's not far".

One viewing, not ten

Photos of every corner, including any damage. When you go to see it, you already know what to expect.

Questions people ask

If you're moving out

Do I have to find someone before I leave?

No. It's completely optional. If nobody takes your place, you move out as normal and nothing changes.

How much can I earn?

It depends on your rent, roughly ₦10,000 to ₦50,000. We're still finalising the amounts and will confirm yours before you post anything. You get paid once the new tenant has moved in and confirms everything was as you described.

Do I need my landlord's permission?

Yes. Ask them first, and confirm the rent and any other charges with them. The landlord decides who moves in, and the new tenant pays rent straight to the landlord.

What do I actually have to do?

Take photos of every corner with your phone, answer a few quick questions (mostly yes or no), and show the place once to a serious tenant. Be honest about any damage. It saves you from wasted viewings.

If you're looking for a place

Do I pay an agency or inspection fee?

No. You pay only what the landlord charges, shown upfront: the rent, and things like caution or an agreement fee if the landlord asks for them.

How do I know the listing is real?

We check the outgoing tenant's rent receipt and that their name matches. When you go to view, make sure the person showing you is the person in their profile photo. Before you pay, your bank shows the account name. It must match the landlord.

Is RentStraight an agent?

No. We connect you with the person moving out. You rent straight from the landlord, and your rent goes straight to the landlord.
