Abuja's rental market moves fast. Here are five common mistakes—and how to avoid them:

  1. Skipping Physical Inspection: Photos can hide defects; always visit.
  2. Not Checking Water & Power: Confirm borehole/pressure and the power backup plan.
  3. Ignoring Lease Clauses: Read penalties, increments, and exit terms carefully.
  4. Paying Agents Without Receipts: Always document every fee.
  5. Overlooking Commute: Traffic patterns can make or break your daily life.

Do these right, and you’ll avoid unnecessary costs and frustrations.
