Shelter is among the basic requirements for everyone but a major challenge for hustlers trying to make ends meet.
Each and every individual will want to stay where the rent is affordable depending on his or her pocket depth.
This makes it necessary for most people, especially the youths to move around from place to place, trying to secure suitable places.
This can, however, lead to much waste of time during the process of looking for a suitable place, if he or she is not aware of where to find an affordable shelter.
