You Earn Monthly, Why Pay Rent Yearly?

Nigeria's traditional rent system forces tenants to pay 1–2 years upfront — that's ₦500,000 to ₦3,000,000 or more in a single payment. ShortRent.app changes that. We let you rent an apartment or house and pay monthly, the same way your salary arrives.

No Lump Sum Pressure

Stop scrambling to save months of salary upfront. Pay only what you owe this month and keep your cash flow healthy.

Flexible & No Lock-In

Need to relocate for work or upgrade your home? Monthly rentals give you the freedom to move without losing a year's rent.

Secure Direct Debit

Payments are automated via direct debit mandate — no stress, no late fees, no awkward conversations with your landlord.

Fair for Landlords Too

Landlords get guaranteed monthly income without chasing tenants. ShortRent handles collections, so they can focus on their property.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ShortRent.app?

ShortRent.app is a platform that connects tenants with landlords for monthly property rentals across Nigeria. We make it easy to find, book, and pay for your ideal home without the commitment of a long-term lease.

How are payments handled?

Payments are handled securely through our online platform. Tenants pay on a monthly basis via direct debit, ensuring a seamless and reliable transaction process for both parties.

Are the properties verified?

Yes, every property and landlord on ShortRent.app is thoroughly vetted by our team to ensure they meet our standards for safety, quality, and authenticity.

Which cities does ShortRent.app cover?

We currently cover Lagos (including Lekki, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Ikeja, Yaba, and Surulere), Abuja (including Maitama, Wuse 2, Gwarinpa, Jabi, and Garki), and Port Harcourt (including GRA and Trans Amadi). We are actively expanding to more cities across Nigeria.

What types of properties are available?

ShortRent.app lists a wide range of properties including self-contained rooms, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom flats, as well as full houses — both furnished and unfurnished — available for monthly rental across Nigeria.

How is ShortRent different from a shortlet?

Shortlets in Nigeria are typically priced per night (like a hotel) and can cost ₦30,000–₦150,000 per night. ShortRent.app is designed for people who want to live in a place for months at a time with a stable monthly rent — far more affordable for long-term stays. Think of us as monthly tenancy, not holiday accommodation.

Can I list my property on ShortRent.app?

Yes! Landlords and property managers can sign up and list their properties for monthly rental. Our platform handles tenant screening, digital agreements, and monthly payment collection via direct debit — so you get paid on time without the hassle.

Is there a minimum rental period?

The minimum rental period on ShortRent.app is one month. You are not locked into a long-term lease. You can renew monthly for as long as you need, giving you the flexibility to stay or move on your own terms.

Are utilities included in the monthly rent?

This depends on the individual property and landlord. Each listing clearly states what is included in the monthly rent — such as water, electricity, or service charges. You can filter listings by what is included before booking.
