The area influences the rent rate in Delta State

The area in which you stay in Delta state really determines the rent prices and rates.

The type of apartment

Another important factor that determines the rent rate and how much a particular place will cost is the type of apartment. By this, I mean, a three-bedroom flat, two bedrooms, self-contained or one room and a living room. For example, in Asaba, a one-room and a living room could go for as high as 150,000-200,000 Naira or a three-bedroom room could go for 500,000-600,000 Naira. Just remember, the larger the space, the more rent you will have to pay.

Do not just pick any area

Consider this a tip. Do NOT just pick any apartment you see. It is possible that you could end up finding a place you can afford, but bare in mind that without checking the place first, you might run into certain issues in the future. Some places in Delta experience floods during the rainy season, especially places that are close to the rivers. It may be cheap, but who would want to have flooding problems during the rainy season?

So that’s a wrap. When it comes to picking a place anywhere in Delta State, it is important to first consider the type of apartment, the space available, and the area where the apartment is. By putting these things into consideration, you would be able to budget for the rent payment.

Always remember that when getting an apartment, it is best you deal directly with the landlord or the owner of that apartment. Dealing with agents and agencies could save a lot of money, but you don’t have the time. So yeah, now you have an idea of what to expect if you're planning to relocate to Delta State.
