Frequently asked questions

RentFlex.ng is a verified rental platform for Nigeria. For tenants, we negotiate flexible monthly payment on yearly-priced homes so you skip the 1–2 year upfront lump. For property owners, we list idle property free, verify it, screen tenants, and bring qualified leads.

Where the property and landlord allow it, yes. RentFlex.ng contacts the landlord on your behalf, presents your verified profile, and negotiates monthly terms near the listed yearly value. Whether monthly is available depends on the property, your qualification score, and the landlord's agreement.

No. RentFlex.ng does not lend money. We negotiate the terms and run the payments on-platform. (A rent-finance option may be added later with a licensed partner — it is not offered today.)

A one-time success fee when your lease closes — 5% of the first year's rent, or 3.5% if you are a verified A/B-tier renter. That replaces the traditional 10% agent + 10% legal load, so you pay roughly half the usual fees.

Securely through Paystack — card, bank transfer or USSD. Rent goes to the landlord; RentFlex.ng keeps only its fee. Every payment generates a downloadable receipt in your dashboard.

Listing is free. RentFlex.ng earns a success fee when a lease closes and a small recurring management fee on each monthly rent it collects on your behalf — deducted from your payout, never added to the tenant's rent.

Deposits, rent, fees and refunds are tracked as separate on-platform records. Money moves through Paystack, not informal cash hand-offs.

We check property photos, location, ownership or agent authority, availability, pricing, and inspection status before a listing is promoted. Bait pricing, fake availability and off-platform collection can suspend a listing.

Tenants complete a screening — income, employer, government ID, and a prior-landlord reference — and get a transparent A–E qualification score. Higher-ranked tenants are cheaper to place and unlock the lower fee.

Keep everything on-platform: never pay inspection, booking or rent fees off-platform or in cash to anyone. Real RentFlex.ng listings show verification status, and all payments run through Paystack with receipts.
