About SpareRoom Nigeria

Making Room Rental in Lagos Safe, Fair, and Simple

We are building the infrastructure that Lagos room rental desperately needs — verified users, protected payments, and legal clarity.

Our Story

Finding a room in Lagos has always been an ordeal. Prospective tenants face fake listings, fraudulent agents, and enormous upfront payments with no guarantee of quality or safety. Hosts face unreliable tenants, missed payments, and little legal recourse.

SpareRoom Nigeria was born from the frustration of watching friends, colleagues, and family members fall victim to rental scams — losing hundreds of thousands of naira to fake landlords and ghost agents.

We asked a simple question: What if renting a room in Lagos could be as safe as buying something online with buyer protection?

That question led us to build a platform where every user is identity-verified, every payment is escrowed through Paystack, and every agreement is a proper legal document. No more transfer-and-pray. No more hoping your new tenant pays next month.

The Problem We Solve

  • Fake listings and fraudulent agents
  • Massive upfront payments (2 years rent)
  • No identity verification for hosts or tenants
  • No payment protection or receipts
  • No legal agreements or dispute resolution
  • Lack of trust in the entire process
