The agent suggested that she finds someone to pose as her husband in order to secure the landlord's approval.

She captioned the video:

"I have to rent a husband before I can rent this apartment. I was denied an apartment just because I'm not married. The agent asked me to get somebody that will act as my husband just to get the landlord's approval.
"The house is a mini flat and it is going for N800,000. It was quite spacious and to be honest I wasn't expecting it to look this good based on what the outside compound looks like. The bathroom is one of the spacious that I have seen so far."
