Weekly rent and move-in cash are different.
The official help says rent is paid every Saturday and a rental move starts with three weeks upfront. Multiply the recorded weekly rent by three for a move-in reference, then plan the recurring weekly bill separately. Your live home panel takes precedence.
₦2,400 weekly rent × 3 = ₦7,200 upfront reference. A later weekly budget deducts ₦2,400, not ₦7,200 every week. Preserve money for food, transport and any repayments too.

Test the home against a realistic week.
For Banking Grade I with five completed shifts, baseline gross is ₦50,500. Mushin rent uses ₦2,400 of that week; a higher-rent home can erase the surplus even when a job looks well paid. Use the planner with your actual food, travel, loan and other costs before moving.
Open Phone → Houses to inspect rental and outright-purchase options. The official help also describes building on owned land through Phone → Invest. Purchase prices and construction decisions are separate from the rental table.
Recheck bills before Saturday.
- Read your current home’s weekly figure.Do not substitute another city’s reference.
- Confirm prepaid rent and current dues.Use the live housing/bill screen.
- Keep the next rent accessible.A bond or investment purchase is not ready cash.
- Use costs once in the budget.A move-in payment is not automatically another recurring weekly deduction.
Do not assume catalog rent is the bill shown for your current home. Housing offers and changed rent policy remain unverified beyond the dated source snapshot.
