He paid for a year before paying for 3 months, re u saying his right should be denied if he has a cogent reason for paying 3 months after the his yearly rent expired.

Please house, what happen in a situation where the tenant has defaulted in the payment of rent. The tenant is already owing a year rent. Will she be entitled to 6 months as well? No legal document signed. My dad just reported his tenant to me. What a coincidence. Lawyers in the house pls

enygmababe:

Since she is owing rent for a year, she is only entitled to seven (7) days notice of owners intention to recover possession of premises. Once that notice is served, upon expiration or even before expiration, you need to file a process in court to evict her legally. The court will not take it lightly with her that she is in default of rent for that length of time

I rented a house where a friend solicit on my behalf through a woman called mama Mary. My friend met this woman to beg since we heard that the landlady doesn't want single tenant.

The struggle started as to who take bath in the bathroom. She compete with me for the bathroom just like waking up all her four kids as early as 4:00am, taking their bath one after the other for hours. But she and her kids works and school at three buildings distance from our compound. This woman (mama Mary) is a fellow tenant as I do. In fact, just a wall separates my room from hers. There was a time I went to meet her explaining reasons why she need to allow me take my bath first since where I work is far. Surprisingly, my plead finally cause enmity between us.

She finally succeed in helping the landlord to quit me from the room through her lies and others. My rent expired last month and I was called last night that I should quit the room in the next one month. Please what should I do? I'm in state of confusion now and depression. Right now, I couldn't afford to rent another room.

I have a similar case but I'm the landlord. My tenant moved in Jan 2015,paid for a year's rent. this year,she promised to pay me by January ending. Jan 31st, she then told me that she might be transferred to Abuja by 2nd week in February. I told her to still pay and if she gets transferred, I will refund her money.
My agent then called her this Monday when she did not pay to ask about the money. she then told the agent that she does not have money and after all, she should be given 3 months quit notice by law.
Now,I don't even want her in the house again,want her to leave by February ending whether she pays or not and I have told her. what are my options pls? Can I evict her by month end? remember,I didn't have any issue with her till she made that statement.
sorry for the epistle and quoting you. thanks

LKO:


Good explanation, thanks. But, assuming a yearly tenant is in six months arears, and all attempt to make him pay his rent has failed, can the landlord proceed to issue a seven days notice? No tenancy agreement, but the tenant has been paying yearly, because the landlord told him so from the beginning. Thanks.

menix:


Good u paid into his account but next time endeavor to get ur receipts cous he could still deny the payment as ur rent.

Go plead with ur landlord(which in my case I won't do), if he refuses don't fret about it.
When the 1 month elapses, he will certainly come again then tell him u ve not got a place yet nd u need extra 5month to complete the mandatory 6month.

Sure with this he would get where u re driving to, if u like when it's 6month take him court, this will give u another 6month to 1yr free accommodation.

Just start making arrangements for funds to move cous the above ain't going to be easy, the landlord will find every way to make ur living there Hell...

enygmababe:


Oga biko, still look at it from the tenants point of view. Her last rent expired on the 31st of January. Today is 11th of February. She explained that she might be transfered to Abuja and you want her to pay one year again first and if she is transfered you will refund?

Haba! Have some compassion. If she is transfered, she will need to settle down there too. How will she be discussing refund and looking for money to move at the same time? I am certain she replied that she is entitled to that notice because of your demand. It is better that both of you meet in the middle.

My suggestion:

1. We know you are entitled to your rent.

2. She will know if she will be transfered in about four (4) days time.

3. If she is transfered she can pay you rent for a month and use the remaining days of the month to pack out or even pay for two months to make her transition smooth while you open the house for another tenant.

Somehow I think she does not want to have to be asking you to refund. Tenants are human too biko.

dohyn:



thanks for the advice...the transfer is a scam,she is not going to Abuja..the problem is,she has no money,hasn't paid her share of the light and lawma bill this month. she just wants to use sense for me and stay in the house without paying. that is what I want to avoid.

AreaFada2:


Please see it from landlords' perspective too. I hope most people want to be landlord one day.

A man and his family from we pitied to give a flat to rent cheap messed up. Family appeared decent in church.

Instead of agreed initial 6 months rent, on moving in they pleaded to be allowed to pay 3 months first and 3 months by month end. By month end, stories began. Days to each month end, the man will not come home again. He will call his kids to come collect chop money somewhere in town.

When paying, he was paying small bits as if crayfish or maggi money.

In the end, they stayed like 7 months without pay. Though I had rough means at hand to kick them out, I used legal means to do so. Spending another 15k or so in the process.

Now, will such make a landlord nice or strict?

(1) I have been in that house a year and four months now.
(2) I paid yearly but due to circumstances I told him I will pay three months first before paying the remaining this February.
(3) I owe house rent due to he ask me not to pay again.
(4) We are two that you use the same bathroom (myself and mama Mary)
(5) here, the landlady is not leaving with us down stair, she stays upstairs. She was only told lies by mama Mary who wants me quitted.

enygmababe:


Yes,

Actually, the rule becomes enforceable once a tenant is in default of rent for three (3) months; But be informed that all notices have formats and essential elements which make them valid. If you type it yourself and miss the essential ingredients, it may become a worthless document.

sexysegggs:

Thank you, you really revive my happiness again.

LKO:


Many thanks. I learnt a supreme court judgement gives credence to this your submission. So many people dont know this, they so much believe in this six months notice of a thing.

It's a simple matter to handle. I have dealt with such tenant b4, he ended up begging me to let him go but it was too late by then. He paid to the last kobo and packed out immediately afterwards. Feel free to call for free advice. 08032765549

ogawisdom:

Demand six months notice dts d normal thing. If u have money to renew ur rent then go and plead with him to collect it

sexysegggs:

Yes, I packed in there not up to two years now. My first rent receipt expired last year October. I paid him three months after my first rent expired but no receipt for this. This three months rent was paid in his account.

ladyF:
If u no like wahala, when you get money just move, you don't have to wait for 6 months because you will be dealing with harassment everyday. God go bless all of us sha, we go build houses and buy jet IJN.
