Rent Monthly

Pricing & fee schedule

We run a marketplace and payment infrastructure for monthly rent — not a financing product. Fees cover verification, rent processing, and enforcement. Landlords choose their monthly rate; we apply the platform fee when rent is paid through Rentamnow.

Rent transactions

5%10% platform fee on each monthly rent payment through us. Salary-linked tenants are quoted lower within this band.

Tenant verification

One-time fee by tier (identity and employment checks). Required before using tenancy features that need a verified tenant profile.

Salary-link setup

2,500 per activation (tenant or employer may pay, depending on your arrangement).

Late payment

Contractual penalties apply for late rent, including a fixed charge per incident, daily accrual, and a reinstatement fee if an agreement reaches defaulted status.

Primary fee — monthly rent (platform)

We charge between 5% and 10% on each monthly rent payment processed on-platform. We recommend modelling at 7% unless your agreement states otherwise. Short-term lets of about three months or less may include an additional 1%–2% surcharge due to higher onboarding cost relative to tenure.

Frequently asked questions

Who sets the monthly rent?

Landlords set the advertised monthly rent for each listing. Rentamnow does not dictate rent; we facilitate verified listings and rent collection under your agreement.

Why is salary-linking cheaper?

Salary-linked repayment reduces missed-payment risk, so eligible tenants receive a lower platform fee than standard or escrow-only setups.

What payment methods do you support?

We support bank transfer, card, and mobile money where enabled for your flow. Exact methods appear at checkout.

Are these amounts final?

Fees in your agreement and at checkout prevail. This page summarizes our standard schedule; regulatory or partner changes may apply.

How do you use my income and bank details?

Income, employment or business, and bank details you submit (with NIN/BVN) are used for affordability checks and fraud prevention—not lending or a full credit score.
