Why this exists

Renting in Lagos runs on word of mouth.

There's no public number to hold an agent to, so quotes stretch as far as your desperation lets them. RentJury gives everyday renters a reference point before they commit.

01 · Pricing

Out-of-towners get quoted more

The same flat can be priced two or three different ways depending on how new to the area you sound.

02 · Reference

No shared reference for "fair"

Everyone relies on a friend's anecdote from two years ago. Prices move faster than that gossip does.

03 · Fees

Fees get stacked, unexplained

Agency, legal, and caution fees are quoted as one lump sum, so an inflated agency cut hides easily inside it.
