WHY DO WE DO WHAT WE DO?

 

It is very stressful for the average young Nigerian to find an apartment in places like Lagos. getting a space can be hell, it may seem like all the standard self-cons and mini-flats are occupied or just too expensive, and let’s be honest here, there are just not enough self-cons and mini-flats to accommodate all of us: landlords solemnly think of the single working-class Nigerian when constructing a residential property and let us not even dive into the agent cause of the problem. Plus, even when we get that apartment/space, we are most time saving up for rent and not our future.

Now i am not writing this to give the perfect solution to solve this basic hosing problem lol, that would involve a lot of economics and finance talk that would bore you out. I am writing based on the area I have experience and knowledge in which is the co-living spaces. We have redefined peer-to-peer housing rental and our platform is designed to fit those needs, with Sheruta, you can list a space in your apartment or an apartment still in the market and get possible flatmates who share rent with you. We protect our community by ensuring that our member's identities can be identified and verified and you can find the right match based on different features.

 

Why Use Sheruta?

 

1)   Verified Users

Listing available co-living spaces have never been more fun and easier for the young Nigerian, we pride ourselves in creating a community for better peer-to-peer housing assistance. However, the security and safety of our community are of utmost importance to us and that’s why we provide not just the best options for users but the opportunity for users to identify their identity to build trust within the community.

2)   What you see is what you get.

    We ensure that all listings and requests listed on the platform are what is physically available and hence the reason for subscription, we are very strict on this because we understand the pain of having an expectation and not getting it. In rare a case where you face this issue, we Implore you to make a complaint and send a mail to uploads@sheruta.ng with the link to the post or the username of the user. 

3)   Flexible payment option

     We give payment options for users who are interested in listing their spaces or posting a request. You can post content with different payment plans, whether annually or bi-annually, we leave the choice to you. This is also aimed to improve the choice of long stay or short stay plans.

4)   Relocation made easy

This is one of the advantages of peer-to-peer renting, in a case where rent has been paid recently and sudden relocation is very much required, getting someone to carry over the rent is usually tough. We have a service that tends to that need, we provide a service called CARRY OVER that offers this to users simply deduct the months spent in the space and list the apartment.

5)   Choose who you Vibe most with.

     We have provided peer-to-peer services to over 600 individuals of the flatshare community physically and online, we now apply this knowledge to create the best factors needed when choosing a flatmate. You can easily visit the profile page of whoever you are interested in to make connections more fun and know if a connection will be worth it.

6)   Lower rent and living cost

Co-living surely has its advantages and disadvantages, having an opportunity to lower the cost of living is definitely an advantage and a major lure to the flatshare community.
