When we wanted to stay, we turned to a seller. A seller, is a kind of estate agent without agency but with a phone number which is obtained by talking with people. This seller, once informed on our budget makes you visit houses in connection with your request if it is serious, and totally inadequate with what you had asked if it is a handyman. The problem is that the seller is paid a third of the rent, he has an interest in a house you rent the most expensive possible, which explains the higher socio-professional category to which we belong, since we set foot in Niger is particularly coveted. What also makes he must learn to say no when we consider you to visit this beautiful villa with pool quite expensive, even if you do not want to offend your seller.
It was during these visits we see the gap between ourselves and the seller. We look at whether the fans walk, we open the faucets to see if it sinks, we try to turn around, we are prosaic. The seller, he extols the great outdoors (yes, but how does he want a piece of furniture that 60 m 2 ?), All these tall, heavy furniture that came with the house (yes, but 2 sofas and armchairs 9 for a single house is not a bit much? And two closets and a dresser in the lounge, is it really necessary?), This refrigerator that cools so well, supporting evidence: they put the bottle in the fridge and now it is cold! *
You have many questions, but you have trouble understanding the answers without knowing if it is the cultural gap or a scam pure and simple. However, as you're not paranoid, you choose the first solution.
We did well because we are renting a furnished house (without pool those who were wondering) to Yantala above. Oh sure, there are some minor details: the owner who happens to be the spitting image of Mike Tyson is just dragging their feet when there is a small repair (I dread when I submit the invoice); the neon flashing before the passage of electrical lights now in just 5 minutes by the clock (sic) the switches are placed at locations defying logic. But today we have worked and eaten under a tree in the garden, the keeper up for its lack of French by high efficiency, we will not running around to bring beds, stoves and other furniture, and especially we are finally home.
* All this is strictly true.
