RentInDex By The Numbers
You don't just pay rent.
Most renters are hit with multiple fees on top of their annual rent — often without knowing upfront.
Paid agency / lawyer fees
Also paid a finder's fee
Paid caution / security deposit
Paid service charge on top
Only 1.4% of renters found their house through a property website. 55% relied on a real estate agent — the very person charging the fees.

The problem with renting in Nigeria
Millions of Nigerians are at the mercy of landlords and agents with zero market data to protect themselves.
No transparency on fair rent prices
Landlords quote whatever price they want. There is no public data on what rent should actually cost in any neighbourhood. Renters are negotiating blind.

Hidden fees inflate true cost by 40–50%
Beyond the annual rent, you pay agency fees, caution fees, legal fees, and sometimes 2 years upfront. The real move-in cost is almost never disclosed upfront.
40–50%
extra you actually pay beyond quoted rent
Renters have no data to negotiate with
When a landlord quotes ₦1.2m for a 2-bedroom in Gwarinpa, how do you know if that is fair? Without data, you either overpay or walk away from a potentially good deal.
₦0
negotiating leverage without market data
RentInDex is built to fix exactly this — with real data, real transparency, and tools that put the power back in renters' hands.
