Frequently asked questions
How do I know a listing is real?
Real RentFlex.ng listings show a verification status, and all payments run through Paystack with receipts.
What if an agent asks for cash off-platform?
Do not pay. Keep everything on-platform; off-platform cash collection can suspend a listing.
