Learn from my mistakes when you want to rent an apartment
I think I need a helmet to protect my head because my pop could fall again at any time, it has fallen twice in a period of 2 years and it takes turns to fall among the tenants in the house.

I rented this apartment last year may because of school, it was so damn expensive because my house rent is now 10 times!, from 48k yearly to 500k yearly, and the annoying part is how small the apartment is...
So many things annoy me in this new apartment
Network
This is one mistake I would never repeat if I want to rent another apartment, I would make sure I test the network before making payment, my new apartment lacks a network and it is not the service provider's problem, because whenever I am in the compound, the network is super fast but the moment I opened my door and enter my room, it feels like I lock the network out because it will become super slow and I figured out the reason, it was because of the big buildings that surround the house I live, I stay on the ground floor hence the network blockage.
You would think it was only a network issue I am facing but no!
No Ventilation
Have you ever rented an apartment that you can't tell the day from the night the moment the nepa takes light? The inside is always dark because the sun can't enter and also no air, I feel miserable whenever there is no light but thank Goodness that we do have light 24/7 and they only take it for a few minutes except it is faulty.
The biggest issue is the house construction, I think when they were building it, the workers made a mistake that caused a pipe leakage which kind of made water leak from upstairs to the decking, now the wall of my toilet is green which irritates me but after seeing my neighbor own, I realized my own situation was better because her own is even worse!

The water leakage is what makes the pop fall, we are 6 tenants on the ground floor and just this year, 3 apartments pop fell, the lady beside me, her pop fell twice this year and I already know it is my apartment's turn next which is why I need a helmet lol.
The annoying part is the landlord has refused to fix the lady's pop since a month ago! it is just tiring, she also got tired of asking him to do it so she lives in the apartment like that.
In case you want to say I should rent another apartment, house is too costly here! and to rent a decent room self contain, you will need 600k above and for a mini flat you will need 1.3m, the agency, agreement, and commission fee are other ridiculous charges on their own because That is almost the same as the yearly house rent, people are making life difficult for others yet blame the government for everything.
I can't wait to graduate so I can leave this expensive area to places where house rent is cheap and the cost of living is low.
If you want to rent an apartment, take note of the problem I listed here so you won't end up like me.

Indeed. I also know what to consider before renting an apartment. I knew it because I had the experience. I would check water quality, security, surrounding environment, transportation facilities, and so many things also before I rent an apartment.
nice one man, the water you mentioned is another issue but bad water is a general issue in my area so we buy pure water and bottle water.... we only use the tap water for laundry and cooking

I’ve learned the hard way too about testing the network before settling in somewhere. It’s tough when rent prices keep going up while the quality of the apartment doesn’t match.
that bad network is just so annoying, now I have to hang my phone near the window just to generate network atimes
That's Yaba area for you. When you graduate you can live in places in shasha, egbeda with good areas and nice apartments. I lived in a house where the bathroom was leaking and the landlord's people refused to repair it. Greed is the problem of real estate
this is the same problem being faced in some apartments here, mine is leaking too but not obvious like the others but it still gets my toilet wall green, i even planned to move to Atan, no good light but solar will fix that issue...
The helmet part got me laughing and it reminded me of when the roofing fell off in one hostel I rented while on campus. The land lady asked me to use my money to fix it, I just packed my bags and left .😂😂💔
I think I have finally found someone who agrees with me on this ventilation issues. I went hunting for a new place a few weeks ago and all the rooms I came across are like half of the room I am currently in, they’re really small with little to no ventilation. I just came back and told my landlord I would maintain the room cos I can’t with these new rooms people building.
lolz the helmet is necessary now, I don't want to wake up one day to post about an injury on my head done by a fallen pop..
honestly, i just know the mistakes won't repeat itself twice if i want to rent another apartment, i didn't bother to investigate much because my previous apartment didn't give me any issue and in fact very cheap compared to where i am now..
You have to investigate like a detective these days just for a place to live in. It is well.
You’re very correct
Also, this is why I always make sure that I rent my house during rainy season so I will know the faults very quick
oh yea that is another factor esp if you are renting the down floors
