Rent a flat or a house in Douala

Thank you Christine for these questions.
I'm living here in Yaounde.I have help many people to find accommodation here in Yaounde.Let  me Start by answering your first question:

In Yaounde,you can easily find and apartment.Many new houses are being built in the Capital of the country.

To find a house here you need to work with a person you are use to but no upfront fees should be paid until confirmation that is an accommodation available.

The price of an apartment depends on the landlord.There is no official price.It depends on the house also.It depends on whether it is furnished or not.Furnished apartments are usually very expensive ranging from  1000USD-1500usd PER MONTH.

Any body looking for an accommodation will need to sign an agreement with real estate agent and then see the house first before making any accomplishments according to agreement.

The advice I have to give here is that never pay out money upfront for any reason.Come and see the house then talk with the person responsible and make sure you get the lease contract before making payments.

Thanks for your contribution kolem2!

Harmonie.
