uzolexis:Yes in developed countries, they pay monthly, but you forgot to add that in those developed countries salaries are paid promptly. The reverse is the case here. For it to be implemented here, certain things have to be put in place Otherwise the aim will be defeated. 1 Like |

Springz: Don't mind him. And there when your electricity bill is not paid you are cut off and remain in darkness. Here they will climb pole and reconnect illegally. There when your airtime is finished your phone goes dead, here mobile phone 'cheats' are even advertised. There when your house rent is due you pack out, here the next thing to do is to threaten the landlord, take his name to the shrine or prayer house or get a lawyer to defend you in court to remain on the property in perpetuity. Paying bills in Nigeria, a nation of rent seekers, subsidy thieves and free riders is alien so will paying house rent on a monthly basis. Who wants to die young. 3 Likes |

No mind the minister he's as high as highness... Compating Nigeria to Europe is like comparing water to fuel. In Europe before you get an accommodation uou go know what's up and without having a job thrn you might be on a long thing or the government might help you out. Yeah the rent is on monthly basis but in some parts of Europe u gotta deposit down 3 months house rent just incase of incasity, so if your house rent per month is 500 euros then you need a caution of 1500 euros and you can't move out just as you want (you need to give your landlord notice of 3 months in advance otherwise if you move out without paying your caution is gone and even if it's not enough the houseowner will take you to court and that's it.. If you damaged your Relationship with your last landlord then you're sure gonna find it hard getting anothet accommodation cos you always need to have like a positive reference from your former landlord. All this is been done despite the fact that you can get benefits if you're jobless,this benefits includes accommodation allowance but thr govt won't give it to the landlords directly so there are usually still conflict. Now can Mr minister tell us how this is practicable in Nigeria. They shouldn't bother asking landlords to collect on monthly basis,what they need to do is build millions of apartment themselves Nd if possible collect rents on daily basis,let them do this and see if the landlords can do same. pendusky: 1 Like |

Finally the minister had spoken my mind. This is long over due, but I agree some changes has to be in place to make it possible. |

Nigeria is a funny country. As d fct minister av rightly said, d problem is dat, dat statement wil die as a statement, he wil neva make any effort or action to ensure dat monthly payment of house rent becomes a law. Dis guys are jokers. Am sure he said it to gain attention. I bet u, afta 3yrs of dis administration, ask him wat he has done to ensure it becomes a law, then u wil hear super story. 1 Like |

He made sense on the surface but our salary structure/in flow wouldn't survive such implementation. For now they should abolish that 2yrs upfront payment, agency fee and all those useless fees that rip off tenants. 2 Likes |

It's easy for a non- property owner to support something so ridiculous. Landlords invest in property for financial gain not charity. Some depend solely on rent for sustenance. Already there are laws which make it difficult to evict tenants quickly and legal proceedings take several months . The defaulting tenant would get to live for free in the mean time and would then look for yet another person to cheat of their means of livelihood when they are finally evicted. A swindler could live for a full year in 3 different properties paying rent for 3 months only. This law would only drive up costs. Landlords would charge multiple times the rent if their hands are forced. These old men need to be more innovative and progressive in their thinking. 1 Like |

uzolexis:Again don't those countries pay their workers promptly? This is Nigeria and it's common knowledge that civil servants here don't always get paid monthly, many are owed for months. I get the idea is since one gets paid monthly, rent should be monthly. But they don't. When the government starts taking the citizens seriously like the countries you listed and other developed countries, then a law like that can work. |
Re: "House Rent Should Be Paid Monthly In Nigeria" - FCT Minister by Springz(f): 3:03pm On Apr 08, 2016 |
hisoko:Exactly the point I'm trying to make, when you're not being paid monthly, how the hell are you supposed to be paying house rent monthly. |

Springz:I get your point and I agree that these countries(especially he ones in Africa are doing better than Nigeria) but don't you think it will be easier to gather the rent bit by bit(monthly) than in bulk (annually) |
Re: "House Rent Should Be Paid Monthly In Nigeria" - FCT Minister by Springz(f): 9:52pm On Apr 08, 2016 |
uzolexis:Of course, monthly payment is better than the annual rent. It is supposed to be easier too if not for the salary style in the country. 1 Like |

All this mumu ministers. I work in the U.S and my salary comes at the right day without no delay or shift so then you can pay rent monthly. But in naija some companies will owe for 5 months and tell their landlord stories? The landlord will simply throw you out. Not to talk of people that will only pay a month's rent and wont pay after. How will the system track those people. Or people that will move in one month and not pay at all and run away to another town. 1 Like |
