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.

This is the latest evil in town; landlords in connivance with greedy agents have decided to push people out of their homes to live under bridge. They have decided to pour all their frustration on tenants by doubling the cost of rent amidst this excruciating economic condition. At this rate, people will only work to be able to pay rent and nothing more. Wahala for those of us wey never build house o. Now as your rent due date dey near, na so so vex you go dey vex. The misery of people have just been intensified by this latest woe that is sweeping across the state.... Port Harcourt in particular.

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.

I was thinking you have a solution in mind, I never knew you are relying on government. Chai its obvious they have left you behind. Which government? Una get government? Assuming we had government, you would have expected they build low cost housing estates and that will crash the price of rent and alllowed the poor to breath from the hands of these greedy landlords. But base on say for Naija it is "every mam for himself, God for all".
