Rent Shock in Lagos: A Tenant's Plea Amidst Rising Costs Lagos, Nigeria - A recent rent increase has sparked outrage and highlighted the financial pressures faced by many residents in Lagos. Miriam, a tenant in the Apapa area of Lagos, shared her story on social media after receiving a notice from her landlord demanding a rent increase from \u00a31,000,000 to \u00a31,800,000. This represents a significant 80% increase. "Is this not too much?" Miriam questioned in her video, visibly distressed. "People are trying to survive. What is happening?" Her emotional plea resonated with many viewers, generating a significant online response. The letter, issued by Ezinwa Chambers, cited the prevailing market price as the reason for the increase.

Her case underscores the challenges faced by ordinary Nigerians struggling with rising costs of living and the lack of tenant protections. Miriam's video serves as a stark reminder of the economic realities in Lagos and the need for more affordable housing options and stronger tenant rights.
