Nigerian Lady Achieves Milestone by Renting Apartment in Canada After Relocation
A Nigerian lady has shared her joyous achievement of renting her first apartment in Canada, 14 months after moving from Lagos. In a TikTok video posted by @i_stefhannie, she showcased the interior of her new home and revealed an unusual aspect she noticed about the rental process abroad, which differs significantly from practices in Nigeria.
Unusual Payment System Noted in Canadian Rental Market
The lady explained that, as a Nigerian, she was not accustomed to paying rent on a monthly basis, a common practice in Canada.
