The Spleet Digest

The Nigerian renting landscape, especially in bustling cities like Lagos and Abuja, can be overwhelming at times, both for landlords and tenants alike. Things like finding decent apartments, scheduling viewings, vetting tenants, collecting rent promptly, and managing multiple apartments & tenants at the same time present clear challenges.

With technology becoming and more common in the Nigerian market, new age businesses have risen to the challenge, pushing new, exciting, and tech-powered tools to solve different problems in the real estate and property management sector. Among them, Spleet Africa stands out.

In over seven years, Spleet Africa has focused on building systems that make the process of renting easier for both landlords and tenants. From designing and implementing fool-proof flexible rent payment systems to building easy-to-use tools for property managers.

Here are five ways renters, landlords, property managers, and housing agents can use Spleet to improve their renting process.

1. Finding verified apartments  

For tenants, finding a decent, reliable, and safe place to live is important. Spleet Africa offers a comprehensive database of verified apartments, ensuring that renters can browse listings with confidence. Each property is vetted, which means you won’t waste time on listings that are scams or misleading.

With detailed descriptions, high-quality photos, and essential information such as location, amenities, and rental costs, you can make informed decisions. Moreover, the platform’s filtering options allow you to customize your search based on your budget, preferred area, and specific needs, such as pet-friendly units or furnished apartments.

2. Enjoy flexible rent payment options  

One of the standout features of Spleet Africa is its commitment to flexible rent payment solutions. Traditional rental agreements often require tenants to pay rent for a year or two upfront, which can be a significant financial burden. Spleet Africa offers alternatives that allow tenants to pay rent monthly or quarterly, making it easier to manage finances. This flexibility is especially beneficial for students and young professionals who may not have the means to pay a lump sum at once.

Additionally, Spleet Africa offers on-demand rent financing to support renters in need of financial assistance to pay their rent. All of these payments is facilitated by a secure payment platform, ensuring that transactions are safe and transparent. Renters can rest assured that their money is handled responsibly, and landlords are guaranteed to get their money promptly.

3. Find vetted tenants

Renters are not the only ones who need to be convinced. For landlords, one of the most critical aspects of property management is finding trustworthy tenants. Spleet Africa’s tenant verification tool, Spleet Verify, is designed to help landlords conduct thorough background checks on potential tenants. This feature streamlines the tenant selection process, allowing landlords to make informed decisions and reduce the risk of problematic occupants in the future.

With Spleet Verify, landlords can access comprehensive reports that include credit history, rental history, and criminal background checks. This information is invaluable, as it helps landlords assess a tenant’s reliability and responsibility. In a market where tenant turnover can be costly, having vetted tenants can lead to more stable and profitable rental arrangements.

4. Efficient property management services  

Managing multiple properties can be a full-time job, especially for landlords with multiple units. Spleet Africa offers efficient property management services that simplify this process. Landlords can easily track rent payments, manage maintenance requests, and communicate with tenants through the platform.

The dashboard provides landlords with an overview of their properties, making it simple to track occupancy rates, handle tenant inquiries, and keep records organized. This level of efficiency not only saves time but also enhances the overall management experience, allowing landlords to focus on growing their portfolios rather than getting bogged down by administrative tasks.

5. Property management tools for agents and property managers  

For housing agents and property managers, Spleet Africa is equipped with a suite of property management tools designed to optimize operations. Managing multiple tenants, handling rent collection, and facilitating property maintenance can be overwhelming, but Spleet Africa streamlines these tasks.

Using the platform, agents can manage all their properties in one place. They can set up automated rent reminders for tenants, track payments, and easily generate financial reports. Additionally, the system allows for seamless communication between agents and tenants, making it easier to address maintenance issues or tenant concerns quickly.

This comprehensive management system not only improves efficiency but also enhances tenant satisfaction, which is crucial for retaining good tenants and building a positive reputation in the market.
