@ Mama4dworld, don't attempt to fix anything without a written and documented agreement. I was once with a lawyer of a landlord who had an issue with his tenant. The tenant had fixed the house to 'his own taste' and said it cost him 100,000 to fix and would be shifting it to the landlord as future rent. The yearly rent of the house was 20,000  The lawyer simply said "who send you message?" The proper procedure is to let the landlord himself access the issue and using his own workmen, you pay the bill and it gets receipted to you or at least a letter acknowledging your deal is drafted. There is a possibility the landlord does not have any funds left - there is no need for a fight on this - but even if you 'help out', do it smartly so it does not come back to bite you. Should the landlord refuse your offer, let there be a promissory note of a reasonable period of time when it would be fixed (I don't see why he would refuse the offer though). If he reneges, you can proceed with pictures and so on to the conflict resolution department of your local government that will call him with the aim of mediating. The escalation after this is to go to court and claim damages as well as enforce repair work. I hope it does not get to this. Wishing you well - Teemy 1 Like |

You live there, so keep waiting for him until all the properties in your house is destroyed. Over-sense people like you is the reason why Landlords are wicked. I know your type. Note that this is Nigeria, a lawless country so you'll always be the loser. |

dingbang: Oga, don't ever try this if you live in Lagos. Trust me, you will do time without the option of fines. Many are still in jail for similar offence. @OP, sorry please, if he doesn't want you to fix it and you can't afford it, just relocate for your peace of mind. That's why I encourage people to do property inspection in Lagos. during raining season. |

Mama4dworld: It is terrible to fall into the hands of this kinda landlord and of a truth he won't do anything about it no matter how much u complain. Repair it urself and out it into writing signed by your lawyer and he's too and the cost ll be offset against next rent circle. If need be invokve police for their info and know into it. When next rent comes, close eye like sey u no see am let him shout them u bring out papers. Otherwise u ll repair it and he still collect his rent all to his advantage |

For starters, your landlord may not have the funds now and may be waiting on the next rent payment to fix it. Have a discussion with him on substituting the cost from your next rent provided you pay timely too. And fix it. |

Mama4dworld: Politely go to him with anyone in the street that gets close to him Tell him again about the leakage you and I knows he will not respond Simply wait and hear what he will say, after that, tell him you will look for money to repair it and deduct it from you next rent Worst case he will increase the rent, it's your choice to stay there or not Never quarrel with your landlord, just avoid the devil 1 Like |

Since he doesn't want to do anything, see if u can go to arbitration n see if they can make him repair it or a promise that if u do u deduct from ur rent. But he might want to witch hunt u by giving u a quit notice once d money has expired. |

all you have to do is to fix it. you will get the landlord attention when its time to pay house rent by reminding him of the leaked roof you fixed. some feel they are smart but you can remove the amount you spent before paying. there your landlord will be loyal |

OgaRico: What I strongly don't have an idea about is how Civil Defense has a RESPONSIBILITY that includes Landlord/Tenancy issues. Your personal experience was an abuse of uniformed officials.
