Full Property Management in Nigeria

A property management company in Nigeria handles the day-to-day running of your property on your behalf. This covers finding tenants or guests, collecting rent or booking income, managing cleaning and maintenance, handling repairs, dealing with complaints, and sending the owner a monthly report and payout. Stayven goes further by also managing staff, guest communications and platform listings so the owner does not need to be involved in any part of the operation.

Most property management companies in Nigeria charge between 10 and 30 percent of monthly rental or booking income, depending on the level of service. At Stayven, the fee covers the complete management of your property including staffing, maintenance coordination, guest management and reporting. There are no hidden charges and you only pay from what the property earns.

For most property owners in Nigeria, yes. Managing a shortlet or rental property takes significant time, local knowledge and constant availability that most owners simply do not have. A good property management company like Stayven keeps occupancy rates high, protects the property from misuse, handles all the moving parts and still gets the owner more monthly income than they would earn managing it alone.

Look for a company with a track record of managed properties you can verify, clear reviews from other property owners, transparent fee structures, and staff who are easy to reach. Ask specifically how they handle guest vetting, maintenance requests and what happens when things go wrong. Stayven operates across Abuja, Lagos and Kano and has managed properties for owners based locally and abroad, with documented income reports for every property.

Yes, and this is one of the most common reasons property owners in the diaspora use Stayven. We manage the property completely on your behalf, send you monthly income statements, and handle everything locally so you never need to fly back for a maintenance issue or tenant complaint. You stay informed through regular reports and receive your income in whatever account you specify.

Shortlet management involves daily or weekly bookings through platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com, requiring guest communication, cleaning turnovers, dynamic pricing, and review management. Long-term property management involves monthly tenants who stay for months or years, needing rent collection, property inspections, maintenance and tenant management. Stayven handles both models under one roof.

At Stayven, any fault reported by a guest or identified during an inspection is logged, assessed and assigned to a vetted technician or contractor from our network. Minor repairs are handled immediately without owner input. Larger jobs are communicated to the owner with a cost estimate before work begins. The owner never has to source a plumber, electrician or technician.

Stayven handles all guest communication and complaints directly. Guests contact our team, not the property owner. We resolve issues on the same day where possible, follow up to protect the property's review score, and only escalate to the owner when a decision directly affects the property in a major way. No midnight phone calls, no difficult conversations.

For Airbnb properties in Nigeria, Stayven creates and manages your listing, sets dynamic pricing that changes based on demand and local competition, responds to every booking inquiry and guest message, coordinates cleaning crews between stays, handles check-in and check-out, manages reviews, and sends the owner a monthly payout and income report. The owner hands over the property and receives income without any day-to-day involvement.

Stayven currently manages properties across Abuja, Lagos and Kano, with active operations in areas including Wuse 2, Mabushi, Lugbe, Maitama and Jabi in Abuja; Lekki, Ikoyi and Victoria Island in Lagos; and Hotoro and Nasarawa in Kano. We are expanding to Port Harcourt, Enugu, Ibadan and Benin City. If your property is in any of these cities, contact us to discuss management.
