Mr Folarin buys a parcel of land in Highlands Estate, off Kensington road. He is eager to develop his newest acquisition and in eighteen months, five semi detached houses are standing.

Enter the tenants. Mr Folarin collects part payment of the rent, hands over the keys to his new tenants over palm wine and pepper soup, and everyone is happy. Written agreements are unnecessary and stressful, the landlord and tenants agree.
It does not take long before Mr Folarin regrets the decisions he made. The tenants disturb the neighbours, damage the property and refuse to pay the balance of the rent. Mr Folarin comes back to collect the rest of the money, but the tenants refuse to pay and deny Mr Folarin access to the property. He is not interested in the rent any longer, as he wants to evict all the tenants from the property.
Can you identify at least one thing Mr Folarin could have done differently?
