Who is a Property Owner in Nigeria's Shortlet Market?
A property owner in the Nigerian shortlet market is anyone who owns a residential property, whether a studio apartment, a one-bedroom flat, a two-bedroom apartment or a whole building, and wants to earn income from it by renting it out to guests on a short-term or long-term basis. You do not need to already be on Airbnb. You do not need experience. You just need a property. Stayven handles everything else.
3 Types of Property Owners We Work With
| Property Sitting Empty | You own a flat or apartment and it is just sitting there. No tenants, no income, nothing. We set it up, list it and start earning for you. | |
| Already on Airbnb But Not Happy | You listed your property yourself but bookings are low, reviews are average and you are doing too much work for too little return. We take over and fix it. | |
| Planning to Build or Buy | You are about to invest in property and want it shortlet-ready from day one. We advise on setup, design and list it the moment it is ready. |
What Does Stayven Do for Property Owners in Nigeria?
Questions property owners ask us about shortlets
A property owner is anyone who owns a house or apartment and wants to rent it out for short periods. You qualify if you have a furnished space to turn into a steady income source.
You make money by converting your furnished home into a short stay rental for guests. By listing it on platforms or using a management company, you can earn daily rates often higher than yearly rent.
You list your apartment by creating a host account on Airbnb and uploading clear photos of your home. Provide details about amenities like power and Wi-Fi to attract guests.
Your earnings depend on your property location and management quality. A well-managed shortlet generates more profit than a regular tenant, after accounting for cleaning and maintenance costs.
No, you do not need to be in Nigeria if you have a professional team on the ground. Many owners live abroad and use management services to handle check-ins and supervision.
You can use any residential property that is safe and in a good area. From studio flats to luxury duplexes in gated estates, the space just needs to be furnished and comfortable.
Stayven manages your bookings and tracks all revenue. After subtracting our management fees, we send your net profit directly to your chosen Nigerian bank account.
A regular tenancy is a contract for one or two years with one tenant. A shortlet is for brief stays lasting days or weeks, offering more flexible income opportunities.
