Apart from the 1 year "thingy", price and all. . .there are other reasons for this e.g experience from BAD TENANTS! ! ! Some landlords have had the unfortunate experience of having horrific tenants residing in their property. These tenants pretend to be "holier than thou" when getting in but less than three months after getting in, they become something else giving you unnecessary heart ache. On top of that, to eject them from the house is another problem courtesy of the inefficient court system in Nigeria. A tenant can live in your house for over 5 years without paying one naira all because you are both in court. I have such a tenant that has lived almost 4 years in my house and on top of that, he has incited other tenants in the house NOT to pay me and every now and then, they bring one useless piece of court paper inviting me to appear in court over one made up issue or the other all in a bid to destabilize me. . .YES, there are evil people in the world. My property right now is a phucking kalakuta republic a.k.a no nation!

My point is, after going through this kind of embarrassment, most landlords would definitely take it out on the next intending tenants and thus become "wicked landlords". They will increase the rent to skyrocketing prices, asking for 2-3 years rent as well as other "agreement fees" which are undocumented and untenable in the court of law. Some will even refuse to let the house to you based on your ethnicity. The Igbo tribes are the most victims and the reason isn't far fetched. They are the most troublesome. Before some people crucify me, i am partly Igbo myself (from my mother's side) and i speak fluently but ALL the troublesome tenants i am facing today are ALL IGBOS! ! ! Go to any court sitting over landlord versus tenant and you'll discover that 9 out of 10 are of Igbo descent. I don't mean to be tribalistic and i am sorry if i come across that way but THAT'S THE COLD TRUTH of how things really are.

Nuff said! ! !


I totally understand your trouble, this all comes down to the fact, we nigerians are our own biggest enemies and the cause of all our troubles!
