My Tenants Said I Should Give Them 3 Months Free House Rents. by gucciplay: 5:46pm On Oct 04, 2016
Hi everyone i sold my 2 plots of lands last year to build a house . so the issue now is that my 4 tenants rent have expired since last month. my junior brother informed them there house rent have expired the told him that i will have to give them 3 free months. that is what Nigeria law said unless i should them Quit Notice .It's very sad that a house i build with my hard earn money somebody will be telling me that he will live in my house for free. I want to know which step i have to take

Get a caretaker/property manager preferably a lawyer who would ensure there's a signed agreement by tenants and you as well before rentage.


This happens only to Oga Landlord who wants to be landlord, caretaker and agent.

There's an agreement between me and the tenants which both of the parties signed. inside the Agreement we agreed that the tenants will renew there house after 7 days there rent expire

Why not reach a concrete agreement with them where they will all sign that after the 3 month they will leave...

If you decide to quit them, they would still stay 6 month and u will also spend extra...
Yes the 6 month they spent, u can still get ur rent but if the tenants re people like me, ur name nah Joseph of Aramantia cous i will frustrate you..

Oga dont listen to negative advice or let your anger get the best of you, if not you may end up paying "rent" to your tenants. I am saying this from 'experience', its either you give them the three months grace(which is legal by the way) or hand over your property to a "reliable" lawyer or property manager.............

Are you saying that if somebody paid for one year house rent. he will get 3 months for free because i don't give them Quit Notice. So if the house belong to you it will be fine by you.

Stop dealing directly with your tenants. Get a manager or caretaker.
Enough said.

What exactly is the free three months for? All four tenants requested for that? Was there a delay from the time they paid you to when they moved in?

You don already enter one chance. Better play foolish and hope they will move after 3 months.

I ve not said so but the truth is that u ve got mischievous tenants nd since its glaring to you, why not settle things amicable..
Some dude here will tell you throw their loads out, i swear the day u try such, u go know say some tenant pass landlord.

You happen to be landlord nd lawyer, else ur lawyer would ve done the right thing and they would even advise you. The truth of it is that if u give them quit notice they would still occupy that house for 3 month..

So why not reach an agreement with them..

Hey,

There are several ways to go about this.

First you need prayer, then you need a plan of action and surely God will help you get rid of them.


Type of House? location of house? will be very help. From your posting I guess you are not on ground, You will need professionals not your brother to manage your house. He can be the main contact.

Bros this is not a matter of prayer. My tenants house rent have expired instead of them to park out the told my brother to give them 3 months rent for free or he should give them Quit Notice. i saw all the comments here nobody have said what the tenants are doing is bad expect 2 persons. that showed that will live in unlawful country where people behave like an animal. i sold my lands to build that house. it's very painful to be watching some foolish tenants telling me to give them 3 free months for what. The will see the other side of me since there's no law in the country again.
