YOUR ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED
I informed my landlord a month be the expiration of my rent that I am moving out of his house, now the rent is expired and am yet to get a good apartment, my Land lord said she’s only given me a week, but am so sure that even if I get a house within a week, can I renovate it within a week, pls I want to know my right as an outgoing tenant, how many weeks or month am I entitle to as an outgoing tenant, pls lawyer in the house help me.

In the real sense you are not entitled to any free weeks or months. Only if you have a good relationship with your landlord.

You told him you won't be renewing your tenancy at expiration which only implies there would be a close of contract at expiration. However, you are still in possession which means a breach of your contract(though orally).

You would be expected to pay a 'mesne rent' to the landlord which means an amount payable during the period you owe him over. The rent shall be pro-rated per month.



Lol. Pasted this response thrice. Phew.

^^I am being mean ke? That is the hard truth. It all depends on how compassionate the landlord is. The landlord didn't give him a quit notice. Yinkaoke gave himself the quit notice.

Hope you help.
