I would be returning it by Sunday, I won't be chanced to do it during d week. Thank u.

Do not return the 6 months payment but request that he pay the balance within a specific time period and if he does not you just carry out your rent default escalation as normal.

LKO:


Thanks for ur advice. But what do u mean by rent default escalation? Pls throw a little light. Thank u.

gabbytabby:

l just assume that you have one cos you need to decide what you do if someone owes you rent for me
1) call everyday in the first 3 weeks.
2) Write/paste a weekly default notice after 21 days
3) Issue/paste a 7 day notice of eviction due to none payment of rent after 3 months. Etc.

In this case he paid part rent and is already 6 weeks in so l would taper the timescales differently.

Goodluck.

When you have someone managing your property like I do they need a guide as to your expectations.

kkon:
how about in a situation where the tenant who is a yearly tenant pays 6month rent at the expiration of his rent. Is it legal for the landlord to serve him quit notice on the 6months he paid. Or after the 6months. In such case what can the tenant do within the ambits of the law. Tnks

Good evening, in January I rented an apartment owned by the family of a male friend, we agreed to stay in the apartment together. Sometime in April I found him touching me so I called his dad and he left. I insisted they should refund my money instead but they did not. The aunty of the boy who is the caretaker or landlady have been frustrating me since then, telling my friends I drove her brother away, in June she took away furniture ,fan and refrigerator and said I locked up the other room...few days ago she called and said her family members are coming. I didn't even agree. Only for me to find out she rented out the place to 4 men. 4 total strangers in the same apartment. I just want my money refunded. Also, I met over 5000 electricity debt, I paid 10000, my neighbour gave me her part, my landlady has refused to give me hers. Please HELP!

Hello,

Pls I need ur advice here.

Am in Lagos currently.
And last year August, one man (friend of mine) I have known quite some yrs now, when I was in need of accommodation. Asked me to come n take over his 2nd room of a two-bedroom-flat(sublet). That he plans on moving out of the apartment within a short time. Then I can later becum d major occupant of the apartment, after I might have being recognized.

After considering it, I paid him the agreed amount per annum which was N100,000.

To my surprise he started acting strange, and never moved out till today.

Then when d rent was remaining like 4 months to expire, he told me to move out that he will balance me, after threatening to evict me even my rent is running, because we had no agreement and no proof that i gave him money.

And owing to the relationship btw us, we had no agreement, and landlord was not involved truly.

Now I feel betrayed and cheated.
What can I do now to fight back? Becoz by d end of August, and I don't move out, he may throw away my belongings.
