Buy prices are worked out with the game's own formula (about 52 weeks of rent, adjusted by neighbourhood tier). The in-game economy can nudge prices; check Phone → Houses before you commit.

How rent works

  • Due: every Saturday at 9 AM Lagos time. Every home you rent pays its own rent.
  • Moving in: 2 weeks' rent in advance + 1 week for "Agent & agreement".
  • Falling behind: owe two weeks or more and the landlord moves you to Mushin.
  • Moving cities: your old home can be reclaimed once, free, from Phone → Houses → "Get your home back".
  • House staff: wages also come off on Saturday. If you can't pay, they pack and leave.
Is it time to move? Moving up from Mushin to Yaba adds ₦3,600 a week and costs ₦18,000 up front. A level-2 job covers that easily. Run your numbers in the rent calculator.

Buying a house

Open Phone → Houses, pick a home and choose "Buy it outright". You never pay rent on it again and it counts toward your net worth at what you paid. Sell it later for 80% of the price. You can own up to 20 homes, and you can also buy land and build on it from Phone → Invest.

  • Face-me-I-face-you, Mushin: ₦113k = 47 weeks of rent
  • Self-contain, Yaba: ₦312k = 52 weeks of rent
  • Mini-flat, Lekki Phase 1: ₦910k = 54 weeks of rent
  • Duplex, Ikoyi: ₦14.73m = 59 weeks of rent
  • Mansion, Banana Island: ₦91m = 61 weeks of rent
  • Terrace duplex, Ikate, Lekki: ₦2.47m = 55 weeks of rent
  • Family duplex, Magodo GRA: ₦6.07m = 55 weeks of rent
