One Marketplace, Four Ways to Rent

However you want to live — a standard yearly tenancy, paying month by month, a furnished shortlet for a few nights, or sharing a flat to split the rent — ShortRent.app has a category for it. Every listing is free to post and free to answer.

Yearly Rentals

Classic Nigerian tenancy — apartments, self-contains and houses listed with their yearly rent. Chat with the landlord directly.

Monthly Rentals

Pay as you stay. Ideal for remote workers, NYSC members and anyone who'd rather not drop a year's rent upfront.

Shortlets

Furnished apartments priced per night for holidays, business trips and in-between stays in Lagos, Abuja and beyond.

Roommates & Flatshares

Post your spare room or find one. Splitting rent is the smartest way to live well in Nigeria's expensive cities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ShortRent.app?

ShortRent.app is Nigeria's free rentals and roommates marketplace. Browse yearly rentals, monthly rentals, shortlets and flatshare listings, post your own listing for free, and chat directly with listers in the app.

Is ShortRent.app free to use?

Yes. Browsing listings, posting a listing, and chatting with listers are all completely free. There are no commissions, agency fees or subscription charges — rent and deposits are agreed directly between you and the other party.

How do I avoid scams on listings?

Always inspect a property in person before paying anyone, never pay to "reserve" a viewing, and use the in-app report button on any suspicious listing so our team can take it down. Our guide to avoiding rental scams in Nigeria covers this in detail.

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 listings are available?

ShortRent.app has four categories: yearly rentals (standard Nigerian tenancy), monthly rentals (pay as you stay), shortlets (furnished stays priced per night), and roommates/flatshares (share a flat and split the rent). Listings range from self-contained rooms to full houses.

How do I contact a landlord or lister?

Every listing has a free in-app chat. Tap "Chat with Lister" to ask questions, arrange a viewing, and agree terms directly — no agents or middlemen required.

Can I list my property on ShortRent.app?

Yes, and it's completely free. Post a yearly rental, monthly rental, shortlet or a room in your flat in minutes from the app — add photos, set your price, and interested people chat with you directly.

Can I find a roommate on ShortRent.app?

Yes. The Roommates category lets you post a spare room in your flat or browse rooms others are sharing — a much more affordable way to live in cities like Lagos and Abuja where rent is high.

How does ShortRent.app make money if it's free?

The app is supported by ads, which keeps browsing, listing and chatting completely free for everyone.
