Frequently asked questions
How does splitting rent work in Nigeria?
Instead of paying a full year's rent alone, you share a verified apartment with one or more flatmates and split the rent, service charge and bills. On Mushrooms you are matched with a compatible flatmate, the rent is held in escrow, and each person pays their fair share.
How much can I save by splitting rent?
Up to 50%. A ₦2.5M apartment in Yaba becomes ₦1.25M each with one flatmate. A ₦5M flat in Lekki Phase 1 drops to ₦2.5M per person. The more you share, the more you save — without dropping to a worse neighbourhood.
How do I split rent fairly and avoid disputes?
Agree the split before moving in, put it in a simple flatmate agreement, and keep payments transparent. Mushrooms helps by matching you with someone whose budget and lifestyle actually fit, so money conversations are easier. See our guide on splitting rent and bills without the drama.
Is it safe to split rent with someone I met online?
On Mushrooms, yes. Every flatmate completes NIN identity verification, and our Vibe Check algorithm scores compatibility on lifestyle, schedule, cleanliness and budget — so you are matched, not gambling on a stranger. Rent is held in escrow until move-in.
