Signing a tenancy agreement can feel like the finish line after weeks of searching, but it is actually one of the most important moments in the whole process, and also one of the easiest to rush through.
Many tenants sign quickly out of relief, only to discover hidden charges, unclear repair responsibilities, or confusing renewal terms months later, when it is much harder to push back.
This carousel walks through four checks that take just a few extra minutes but can prevent months of frustration.
None of these questions are rude or unusual; they are exactly what a careful tenant should ask, and a genuine landlord or agent will not be bothered by them.
Think of this as your final checklist before you commit, the last chance to catch anything that might cause problems down the line.
Save this post now so you have it ready the next time you are handed an agreement to sign, because that is not the moment to be reading fine print for the first time.

Nigeria has a real artisan trust problem, and it is not just in your head. Finding a plumber, electrician, or painter who actually knows what they are doing has become harder over the years, and the informal referral system many of us grew up trusting is stretched thinner than ever.
The result is a cycle many homeowners know too well: hire someone based on a vague recommendation, be disappointed by the outcome, then pay someone else to fix the first person’s mistakes. It is expensive, frustrating, and completely avoidable once you know what to check before you hire.
This video breaks down exactly where that trust gap comes from and how a few simple habits, like asking for proof of past work, can protect your home and your budget.
You do not need a big network of contacts to hire well, you just need to know what questions to ask before someone touches your walls or your pipes.
Save this for your next home repair, you will need it sooner than you think.

Imagine paying money just to look at a house, and if you don't like what you see, paying again to look at another one.
This is not a rare story, it is becoming a normal part of house hunting in some cities, with residents describing being charged repeatedly just for inspections, before agency fees even enter the conversation.
For people already struggling with the cost of living, this turns finding a home into an expensive guessing game. It also raises a bigger question about who is protecting tenants in situations like this, since there is little stopping an agent from charging as many times as they like.
We are not sharing this to scare you, we are sharing it because awareness is the first form of protection. When you understand how the system can be used against you, you know what to ask about upfront, what to negotiate, and when to walk away.
House hunting should feel like a search for a home, not a test of how much stress you can absorb before giving up.
Comment below if this has happened to you, your experience could help someone else avoid the same trap.

*🇳🇬🏠 🌎DEED OF AGREEMENT vs DEED OF ASSIGNMENT — KNOW THE DIFFERENCE*
A lot of people buying property in Nigeria confuse these two documents. Let’s make it simple 👇
🔹*DEED OF AGREEMENT*
This is the legal agreement prepared by a lawyer between the parties usually the buyer and seller setting out the terms and conditions of their transaction.
It explains things like:
• The property being sold
• The agreed purchase price
• Payment terms
• The obligations of the buyer and seller
• Other conditions agreed by both parties
🔹 *DEED OF ASSIGNMENT*
This is the formal legal instrument used to assign/transfer the seller’s interest in the property to the buyer.
In simple terms:
👉 *Deed of Agreement = documents the agreement between the parties.*
👉 *Deed of Assignment = documents the transfer of the property interest from the existing owner to the new owner.*
⚠️ *Important:* A Deed of Assignment does not simply mean that the name on the C of O is automatically changed. The transfer may be subject to requirements such as consent, stamping and registration, depending on the property and applicable law.
House hunting in Nigeria should not feel like gambling with your rent money, but for a lot of people, it does. One viral story after another shows Nigerians losing their savings to agents who vanish after collecting a fee, or to landlords who are not even the property's real owners. The scary part is that these scams work because they target people at their most desperate, right when they need a roof over their head fast. That pressure is exactly what fraudsters count on. This carousel breaks down four practical checks you can do before you commit a single naira, from confirming a physical office to comparing rent prices in the area. None of these steps take more than a few minutes, but they can save you months of stress and a painful financial loss. House hunting is already hard enough without adding fraud to the list of things to worry about. Save this post, share it with a friend who is currently searching, and take these questions with you to your next inspection. A few extra minutes of caution is a small price for peace of mind.

The Inspection-Fee Scam Is Still Catching House Hunters In 2026.
You See A Beautiful Apartment Online. You Contact The Agent. They Ask You To Pay An Inspection Fee Before You Can See The Property.
You Pay.
Then Suddenly, The Agent Stops Answering Your Calls.
Unfortunately, This Is Still A Common Risk When House Hunting.
Before You Pay Any Agent, Protect Yourself:
1.Verify The Agent Or Agency.
2.Ask For The Landlord’s Name And Property Details.
3.Never Pay Just To See A House.
4.Get A Second Opinion Before Making Any Payment.
A Good Property Deal Should Not Require You To Ignore Red Flags.

Let us talk about the mistake almost every house hunter in Nigeria makes at least once.
You see a listing, the price looks fair, the pictures look clean, and before you even meet the agent in person, you have sent an inspection fee. Then the agent stops replying, or worse, you get to the address and the house does not exist.
This is one of the oldest tricks in the book, and it still works because house hunting is stressful and people want it to be over.
Here is the truth: A real agent will not disappear after collecting a small fee, because their real money comes from the agency fee once you move in. If someone is pushing hard for payment before you have even seen the place, that urgency is the red flag, not a coincidence. Before you send another naira, verify the agent has a physical office, ask for the landlord’s name, and if possible, get a second opinion from someone who knows the area.
Your money took effort to earn. Do not let a rushed decision take it from you in one afternoon. Save this post so you remember it before your next inspection.
