Nigerian property company advertise rental for R13 a day
That's approximately R390 a month, which certainly sounds affordable. What's the catch?
It goes without saying that when you are renting a place, you want to live in a place that you can make into a home.
But not everyone has that luxury. Some people are forced to rent based on the rental price as opposed to the comfort and appeal that a place exudes.
A property hub in Nigeria that often posts videos of rentals has gone viral for sharing a property on their page. The rental unit's selling point as noted by them is the price, which was advertised for 495 Nigerian Naira (Approximately R13).
After watching the video, there is nothing wrong with the property per se, in case you were wondering what's the catch.
It looks like a studio apartment with a tiny kitchen and a toilet. But here's the catch. There's no bathroom!
People were obviously attracted to the video with the promise of the price, which sounded appealing.
But after watching the preview of the unit, they were quick to share their opinions.
