My House Agent Is Demanding 5% From Me For Agent Fee Every Year by success9000: 9:56pm On May 20, 2020
I'm very confused right now.  my rent expired this month after I renewed my rent. My house  Agent told me that I will pay her 5% for agent fee. I asked her why should I  be paying her 5% every year she said that's how agent work.

Because I  have paid her for agent fee before I moved into the apartment last year.so why should I  be paying her 5% every year.

I want to know if it's right for my house agent to demand 5% equivalent to my house rent every year?

She has simply seen that you are a "MAGA". A woman at that, having the effontery and temerity to come and tell you such nonsense and such nonsense and scam to your face and you let it slide? Coming here to expose you naivity?

You are a disappointment to manhood.

She wan scam you!

That's not how agency fees are made. Agent fee is a one off thing. Unless you and her have a written contract to that effect. Tell her you've asked around and they said that's not how it's done. if she pressures you too much (If she's not related to the landlord o) then talk to the landlord (I'm sure you've been at your best behaviour in the house) - your landlord will take sides with you and that will be the last you hear from Auntie 5% Billings.

Did she tell you that you will be paying an annual 5% to her when you were paying for rent last year? Because is she told you and you agreed passively or not... You're legally bound to pay her. Agreement na agreement

That's because you are the only person in the world that it has been told to.
Next time she tells you that nonsense warn her seriously not to ever try it again.

We don't have such an agreement that I will be paying her 5% annually. I asked why she no informed me about it she told me that I supposed to know that's how agent works so no need to remind me about it.

Hungry Agent.

The fact that you are confused about it explains why she had the audacity to tell you such BS


One came to tell my Ex he will pay her 40k after he has paid all their exorbitant bill.

And when I told him to tell her no, she said he shouldn't dare call her for any legal advice shocked and I was like...you are not even his lawyer, we don't even like you for starters. Who talks to a person they don't like?

You mean that tenants in Lekki pay agents, annually. I thought once you pay agent once you don't have any business with the agent again.

I'm an Estate Agent. It's not right for her. She only wants to scam you. I have never heard of that before. No agent has the right to do such thing. She's hungry. Call me 08066749943 if she disturb you again. I'll talk senses into her brain

Does that do it are armed robbers. It is only landlord that has the right to pay the Agent or lawyers incharge of his house every year with 5 or 10% depending on their agreement.
