Simpleroomsng has launched what it calls Nigeria’s first 0% commission online rental platform, aiming to upend the country’s costly and opaque property market by eliminating agent fees and directly linking landlords with tenants.
The platform’s pitch is simple: no middlemen, no hidden charges, and no commission. By allowing both landlords and tenants to register for free, Simpleroomsng says it is tackling one of Nigeria’s most persistent housing frustrations — the high costs and inefficiencies associated with property agents.
“We are incredibly excited to introduce Simpleroomsng.com, a platform built on the principles of fairness and efficiency,” said Biodun Olusesan, the company’s founder.

“Our mission is to empower Nigerians by providing a direct, transparent, and cost-effective way to manage rental properties. We believe that finding a home or a reliable tenant shouldn’t come with exorbitant fees.”
The platform’s features include AI-powered tools that guide conversations and simplify rental processes, a landlord dashboard for tracking property performance, and the ability to generate professional-quality listings in minutes. It also offers an optional property management service and premium listings, with the first 50 property owners receiving free promotional exposure.
Simpleroomsng’s launch comes amid rising housing costs and a growing digital shift in Nigeria’s real estate sector, where platforms such as PropertyPro and PrivateProperty still rely on traditional agent commissions. By removing that layer, the company hopes to appeal to cost-sensitive renters and property owners seeking more control.
The startup positions itself not just as a listing site but as what it calls a “complete rental ecosystem” designed to make renting in Nigeria simpler, fairer, and more accessible.
