Join the Challenge

Platform: Upperoom.ng — No agents. No inspection fees. Just tenants helping tenants.

What Is Upperoom?

Upperoom is built by tenants, for tenants. It's a platform where people packing out of their apartments list them for the next person — cutting out traditional agents entirely and making renting more affordable for everyone.

1

List Your Apartment

If you're packing out, post your apartment on Upperoom before you even find your next place.

2

Someone Reserves It

A renter finds your listing, pays a reservation fee to hold it, and goes on standby.

3

Hand It Over

When you're ready to move, you link that person directly to your landlord and hand over the apartment.

💰

Get Paid

₦10,000 if rent is below ₦600,000/yr
₦25,000 if rent is ₦600,000/yr and above

🔄

Listers Keep Earning After Listing

From the 3rd reservation attempt onwards, listers earn ₦1,000 per attempt; even if the apartment doesn't get rented that time, as long as it's still approved on the platform. An active listing keeps paying.

Who Can List?

Upperoom is primarily built for tenants, but it's open to anyone with authority over a vacant apartment:

Tenants Landlords Caretakers Lawyers Authorized Personnel

What Makes Upperoom Different

🚫

No Agent Dependency

Traditional agents inflate fees and sit between you and the apartment. Upperoom removes them entirely.

Every Apartment Verified

Every listing is verified before it goes live. No fake or ghost listings.

🤑

You Get Paid to List

Other platforms charge you. Upperoom pays you for a successful handover. No agent fees. No inspection fees.
