Question 1

How do I find a verified room or self-contain in Nigeria?

Accepted Answer

Browse Flatmates Nigeria - every host is identity-verified before they can publish a listing, and rent is held in escrow until move-in is confirmed. Filter by city, area, budget, lease term (monthly or short-let), bedrooms, and amenities, then message hosts directly through the platform.

Question 2

Is Flatmates Nigeria safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hosts complete a BVN/NIN identity check, listings are reviewed by our moderation team before going live, and rent payments are held in escrow until you confirm move-in. Contact-info sharing inside chat is blocked to keep negotiations on-platform with our buyer-protection guarantee.

Question 3

What fees do hosts and tenants pay?

Accepted Answer

Tenants pay a 5% platform fee on first-month rent only. Hosts pay 10% on move-in rent and 5% on each recurring rent. Commission fees, agreement fees, caution deposits and service charges set by the host are passed through with zero platform cut.

Question 4

Can I list a long-term flat and a short-let on the same listing?

Accepted Answer

No - each listing is either long-term (monthly rent, 6-24 month leases, agency/legal/caution fees) or short-let (per-night pricing, weekly/monthly discounts, cleaning fee). You can publish separate listings for the same property under different listing types.

Question 5

Which cities does Flatmates Nigeria cover?

Accepted Answer

Lagos and Abuja have the largest inventory today, with active listings in Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Enugu and other major Nigerian cities. New cities are added as verified hosts publish listings.
