Everything You Need to Rent Smarter
Directrent.ng gives tenants and landlords the tools to connect directly — with identity verification, secure payments, and digital leases built in.
Features designed to help you find, verify, and secure your next home.
Built for Renters
Tools that put you in control of your housing search.
Direct Landlord Access
Message property owners directly through our secure in-app chat. Schedule viewings, negotiate terms, and ask questions without a middleman filtering or delaying your communication. Our research found that agent-managed properties take 63 days to fill vs just 25 days for direct connections.
Verified Listings Only
Every property on Directrent.ng is verified through document checks and physical inspections. Landlords must provide ownership documents, C of O validation, and utility bill cross-referencing. No more wasting hours visiting properties that don’t exist or look nothing like the photos.
Paystack Escrow Payments
Your rent payment is held securely by Paystack until you confirm move-in. If the property doesn’t match the listing or the landlord fails to deliver the keys, you’re fully protected with a refund process. No more handing over large sums with no recourse.
Save Up to ₦300,000 in Fees
Traditional agents charge ~32% of annual rent in combined agency, legal, caution, and misc fees. Directrent.ng charges just 2%. On a ₦1M annual rent, that’s ₦300,000 back in your pocket. Our primary research confirmed that 50% of tenants find current fees unacceptable.
Digital Lease Agreements
Sign legally binding lease agreements directly from your phone. Every lease is compliant with Lagos State Tenancy Law 2011, replacing the traditional 10% legal fee with a simple digital process. Both parties get a signed copy stored securely in the app.
Neighborhood Insights
Know your area before you move. Get safety ratings, amenity data, proximity to transport, and community reviews for every listing. Compare neighborhoods side by side and make informed decisions about where you’ll live.
Verified Properties
Every listing on Directrent.ng is inspected and authenticated.
Quality Spaces
From studio apartments to family homes across Lagos.
