The CIL Improvement Protection Policy

We solved the problem of move-out vandalism. Finally.

How It Works

  • 1. You make quality improvements to your home with CIL approval (POP, wiring, fixtures, doors, windows).
  • 2. When you're ready to move, we inspect the improvements.
  • 3. We refund you for the value of the improvements, or install equivalent upgrades in your new CIL home.
  • 4. The property owner keeps the improvements. No one damages anything on the way out.

Everyone wins. You get value for your improvements. Landlords get better properties.

Before CIL

❌ Tenant improves property, then vandalizes it when leaving to "take what's theirs."

❌ Landlord loses value, tenant loses deposit.

With CIL

✅ Tenant gets refunded. Landlord keeps improvements. Property only gets better over time.

What Tenants Are Saying

Real stories from real CIL tenants.

"I was tired of house-hunting for months. CIL found me a home in 3 days. No agent fee. No stress. When I wanted to move to a bigger place, they handled everything again. Best decision I ever made."

Chidi Okonkwo

Tenant, Ikeja • Moved with CIL twice

"The solar program changed my life. I now have light all day without generator noise. And when my fridge broke, one call to CIL and they fixed it within 24 hours. I'm never renting anywhere else."

Amara Nwachukwu

Tenant, Ajah • CIL member since 2025

"I've moved three times with CIL. Each time, they found me a home in days. The relocation fee is so much cheaper than starting over with agents. My friends all think I'm crazy, but I'm just a CIL tenant."

Tunde Balogun

Tenant, Surulere • Relocated 3 times

"I installed POP and new kitchen cabinets with CIL's approval. When I moved out, they actually refunded me for the improvements! My new CIL home already had the same upgrades waiting. This is how renting should work."
