Our Story

Built by people who faced the scams firsthand

We know what it feels like to lose money to fake agents, hunt apartments with forged title deeds, and suffer from neglected structural issues. LandlordnU was born out of a mission to fix renting for everyone.

Why traditional renting in Africa is broken

For decades, house hunting in Nigeria has been a stressful gamble. Landlords struggle with untrustworthy agents who disappear with rents, while tenants face massive pressure: paying 1 or 2 years' rent in advance, 10% agency fees, 10% legal fees, only to find the water doesn't work, or worse, that three other families paid for the same apartment.

We believe that finding a home should be safe, transparent, and dignified. By introducing strict KYC verification, physical title auditing (C of O & R of O checks), and secure funds escrowing, we protect both parties from fraud and delays.

Our Core Pillars

Double-Side Title VerificationLandlords prove ownership (C of O / R of O) and listings are checked physically.
