A 'self-contain' in Lagos is a single room with a private internal bathroom and toilet — distinct from a shared-bathroom room, and more compact than a mini flat. It is the most affordable private rental option in Lagos and the first-choice housing for recent graduates, NYSC members, market traders, and budget-conscious single renters. Lagos self-contain rents range from ₦80k–₦200k per annum on the outer mainland (Ikorodu, Badagry, Alimosho) to ₦200k–₦450k in closer mainland areas (Surulere, Mushin, Oshodi, Yaba) and ₦350k–₦700k in better-connected areas near Ikeja or Lekki fringes. Power supply is typically through a shared compound PHCN meter or a contribution to a shared generator — confirm the arrangement and cost explicitly before paying. Water supply in most self-contain units relies on borehole or manually supplied overhead tanks. Flood risk and drainage quality at street level are the main infrastructure risks to assess before signing.
