@tosinataiwo: Why do African landlords demand a year’s rent upfront? It’s not always greed. Banks won’t lend them the money to build. In Lagos, whatever your rent is, you often pay a full year at once, yet over 90% of Nigerian workers are informal, often paid by the day or the week. In Nairobi, rent is monthly. #lagosrentals #nigeriantiktok🇳🇬 #rent #realestatetiktok #africa

Also, there are no proper title documents for most properties, hence most properties cannot be used as security for loans.

No be wickedness, na survival. When bank no dey give developer loan, na tenant go finance am. Nairobi banks dey do mortgages, that's why their rent is monthly. I believe if we fix our mortgage credit, Lagos rent go become monthly too. 🙏

Umm Tosin mortgages are not the norm in Kenya. They’re not the norm in most of Africa. This yearly rent business has nothing to do with it
