10 Terrible things you need to know about Lagos (With Pictures)

7. House Agents/ Caretakers/ Land Grabbers

Getting an accommodation in Lagos can be a very risky thing. If you are renting an apartment, you need a trusted agent. If you are not careful, you might be putting your money into a pit. A lot of agents or caretakers give out apartments to more than a single person and it is difficult to tell until you have paid and ready to move in. That is when you might discover that you have been scammed. The same also happens in the process of getting a land or house. Land grabbers might come suddenly and claim the land belongs to someone else.
