Landlord

Extortist lawyer..it non of your business.. purely landlord business..

It's the responsibility of the landlord, but tenants can pay tenement rates subject to indemnity from their landlords as occupiers.

It's d landlords duty... Please don't let dem put dat on u.

The Tenement rate is a tax on the occupation of property not the ownership of property. You may own a property and not live there, so the responsibility to pay the Tenement Rate then becomes that of the tenant. However, if the property is owner-occupied then the landlord/owner pays the Tenement Rate. The Tenement Rate is a critical source of revenue for Local Governments.

However in Lagos, the State Government usurped the powers of the LGAs to demand and collect Tenement Rates, by promulgating the Land Use Charge through it’s House of Assembly. So the Tenement rate, Ground rent and Neighborhood Improvement Charge were all fused together to become the Land Use Charge (to the chagrin of the LGAs) and landlords became primarily responsible for it’s payment, not tenants. In other words, the LUC became a tax on the ownership of property.

Now there are so many properties in Lagos that have not yet been enumerated or captured in the LUC database, so they are currently not being assessed yet for LUC payment. Properties in this category are most likely still being assessed for the old Tenement Rate, so tenant(s) or whoever is in occupation is still expected to pay the Tenement Rate into the coffers of their Local Government Area.

They are always looking for opportunity to add their duties to tenants own just because accommodation is becoming hard

It should be the landlord. He can pay it though but if he's doesn't want he can go elsewhere then

occupier could either be the landlord or a tenant so write in clear terms.



land use act - Land owner
tenement rate - usually factored into rent in most cases. It is similar to how VAT is factored into purchases.

Please I want to put up a post.. how do I go about it?

For land use act it must be obasanjo

For tenant rate it must be LASG or tinubu.


For tax that one is for buhari.

For house rent that will be you.



What else

No allow anybody scam you......what is your business with land use and tenement .....na you build the house

Oboy waka fast.........

Slap and headbutt the lawyer. He is a thief

Tenant

You

Tenement rate suppose to be paid by occupant of d apartment while land use charge is to be paid by landlord

Landlord pays for all those except utilities bill that will be used by you. He is the owner of the property. Don’t let them put all the responsibilities on you because you want to live in their house. I will advice you look for another house because in the long run that lawyer and the landlord will give you serious issue.

Its like the landlord
