How It Works
Whether you are looking for a room or listing one, every step on SpareRoom Nigeria is designed to protect you.
Every user is BVN and ID verified before they can book or list.
Deposits held securely. Released only on move-in or dispute resolution.
Auto-generated room license agreements protect both parties.
Follow these steps to find and secure your ideal room in Lagos.
Sign up with your email and complete identity verification using your BVN and a government-issued ID. This protects you and shows hosts you are a genuine person.
Search verified rooms across Lagos. Filter by area, budget, gender preference, and amenities. Every listing is reviewed and approved by our team.
Contact hosts directly through the platform to ask questions, arrange viewings, and discuss move-in details. All communication stays on-platform for safety.
When you find the right room, book it and pay through our Paystack-powered escrow system. Your deposit is held securely until you move in.
Both you and your host digitally sign a room license agreement. This legal document clearly outlines terms, monthly rent, house rules, and termination clauses.
Move into your new room with complete peace of mind. Your monthly payments are managed through the platform, and our dispute resolution system has your back.
Turn your spare room into reliable monthly income in six simple steps.
Sign up and complete full verification with your BVN and government-issued ID. This is required for all hosts to maintain platform trust and safety.
Submit your host application. Our team reviews your verification documents and approves your account for listing. This typically takes 1-2 business days.
Create your room listing with detailed descriptions, high-quality photos, monthly pricing, deposit amount, and any preferences (gender, house rules, etc.).
Our moderation team reviews your listing for accuracy and quality. Once approved, your room goes live and becomes visible to verified tenants.
Get notified when verified tenants book your room. Review their profile, communicate through the platform, and manage your bookings from your dashboard.
Receive your full rent directly to your bank account. The tenant pays a 10% service fee separately — your price stays exactly what you set.
