OAP Moet Abebe has described renting an apartment in Lagos as a single woman as complicated.
The media personality said even though she can confidently pay her rent in full, landlords are requesting that a man stand-in for her.
According to her, the perception is that if she is given an apartment, she may not be able to afford the rent for the subsequent years.

Moet stated that being popular does not help her situation as the landlords believe that she may be promiscuous and also throw noisy parties.

She said:
"Yes, I'm a woman. Yes, I'm single. Yes, I can pay my rent in full. Yes, I have a job, and Yes, I'm a law abiding citizen.... Aren't these meant to be the requirements? And not my marital status. This is just so backward and I can't get over it."

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that for his 'act of prostitution,' a landlord served his tenant with a quit notice.
In the viral notice shared on Facebook by Gist Ville, the landlord noted that the tenant formed a habit of always bringing home different girls.
The letter addressed to one Babajide, went on to explain that it became necessary as the tenant failed to heed series of warnings with respect to his sexual activities.
