buygala: Well said. He can even go to EFCC and get an order to arrest the old Lanlord because he defrauded them. He knowingly collected rent from his tenants and also sold the house off. He should be charged for fraud. If you have a lawyer, go to EFCC, he will end up sharing that money he sold the house as he end up refunding all those he collected their money form of which their rent are still running. 2 Likes |

Well from my little experience The new landlord had to wait 8 months for my rent to expire. After then he gave us additional 6 months grace to search for alternative accomodation. |

I have read the first page and seen countless wise counsel. However, let me add my own little idea. Your lawyer is doing well. Also, I want to use this medium to advise us, once a property is sold and you are given 6 months, please gladly take it and use that time to look for new apartment. If the 6 months would expire while your tenancy is still running, it is illegal but please ask for refund for the months beyond the 6 months' notice. Now let us discuss as friend, from the way the new landlord is behaving, it is likely he wants to use LABSCA or touts to eject you. If he does that, your lawyer can bring contempt proceeding. He could be jailed at the pleasure of the Court. You know a crazy landlord may not mind going to jail for 2 months just so he gets you out. If a landlord throws your things out illegally, what you would get is damages but you would not be restored to possession. Bottom line, as the case is on going, do a serious house hunting. I wish you all the best. 3 Likes |

peacekante: I'm not sure what kind of injunction your lawyer got, but I'd advice that you get an interim injunction, owing to the fact that this is a matter of extreme urgency... If he still tries to evict you after that, he'll be guilty of contempt of court. The interim injunction would last pending the court's determination of whether the landlord has the right to evict u. At least, that would buy u some time too. I'm also not sure how active your lawyer is about this issue, but make sure he's someone that's concerned about your matter, and knows his job. |

That's serious o, I don't think they will overide the court judgement because that will be contempt, my advice is for you to get a land and start your building to avoid landlord ambarrassement, such thing like that can't happen in the north, cos there lot of houses for tenants to live in. |

On august 2017, news were flying that our compound has been sold to a new buyer. on hearing the news, we contacted the former landlord to know if it were true..... Your story is fake... You said on August 2017.. But this is just April 2017.. |

As much as i agree that the Lawyer has done his best in protecting your interest, i still feels that won´t stop the new landlord from carrying out his threat. I see this issue escalating very fast with the use of area boys and touts to intimidate the tenants. Hence i believe you should also make a formal complaint to the Police (yes they are ineffective and sometimes for the highest bidder), tell them your lives and properties are being threaten despite the court injuction. In the long term, I don´t see anyway out for you guys because we know how Nigerians takes the law into their hands and nothing is done to them. Lastly, i will suggest you start looking for not only a new flat, but also somewhere to keep your valuables because, you will not be ready when they come for a forceful eviction. |

pokipoki: Not true! If you have 8 months of rent outstanding, he will give you 6 months notice in 2 months time. So the end of your notice will be same with end of your rent. |
