My State of residence has been one of the most expensive cost of living states in the country (Nigeria).
I am making this thread after been overwhelmed about how students are being frustrated over high cost of house rents.

Imagine houses built between 2018-2023 where a single rooms rent is placed @ #130K which the rent fee is evaluated according to the nature of the economy and the cost of building materials which would be extremely expensive and houses built between 1990s-2017 charging its house same 1 single rooms at same rates at #130K even when the houses were build when the economy was kindly impressing comparing to today's.
    
I learnt about lot of students having the schools environment for their homes and the classroom desks for the mattresses simply because they can't afford even a single room for a rent.
A lot of them are able to have that one single rented room (s) only if they are partnered (roommate) while some others are struggled before they can have their own private living rented apartments.

We all knows the nature of single rooms and its inconveniences, how do we imagine such rented below #130k per year excluding sub fees and lavys.
This has got a lot of people taking the streets and the bridges as mansions Worth living due to the inabilities to the hike cost of rent and has also sent lot of masses who lives in the cities and rural areas back to villages where most of them has lost hope to lives and carriers supposed to be encouraged when in the cities has been buried beneath the foots.

This state of accomodations rent fees has left lots frustrated.
Last night I was on some significant reasoning with my friend on how possible the government can put an end to this increasingly house rentage following the economical inflations on its basis.

Solution opinion to the situation
The government could play and help minimize this hiking rents issues simply my issuing mandatory orders on every landlords and give them a specific range of charges they are expected to rent their house and anyone violating the rules must be penalized and every landlords must issues rentage receipts to every of its tenants because the amount stated in the receipt would be used to justify any of the reported landlords if overcharging their house occupants and there should be an active functioning phone number that is to be reached and report any forms of the landlords.

I think the cautioned of governments authorities to the landlords would help this nature of situations.
