1. Pls tell the landlord to remove covenant in the agreement.
2. Tenement Rate is paid by the property owner to the govt, it is not the tenant that pays it. So tell him to remove it.
3. The aspect that says Landlord will be allowed to enter the property anytime, should be "when necessary" for inspection. Anytime here could be whatever period of the day even if it is midnight.
4. I am not too comfortable with the 3months notice for vacation. Someone might not have intention of vacating, but something like sudden transfer or relocation comes up which wouldn't permit 3months notice. That aspect should be amended too.

The Agreement is Ok if all these are corrected.

somehow:


This must be changed.

The landlord does not have right to enter his premises once payment is made without his permission.

. Fake ass, you are asking for money for advice on ordinary tenancy agreements furthermore saying he shouldn't sign it so he will come back to your lying ass.. What set and which Nigerian law school did u pass out from? Answer that before I take you seriously.

TheAdvocate:
Whether you sign it or not, 90% of the terms therein are implied by law. My only worry is that paragraph where the landlord can determine your tenancy by giving you 3 months' notice. The law provides for 6 months notice on the part of the landlord. Don't agree for less.

rottable:
The agreement is okay except for number 4, where it states that the landlord can enter your apartment at any time....... You are about to give away your privacy.

So I decided to rent a better apartment for myself. So my landlord gave me this tenancy agreement to sign. This is my first time of signing such since I have been renting house so I decided to bring it here for the Learned and Legal practitioners to help me go through it before signing.
Thanks

Did you see the part I said he should seek a nearby lawyer ? Lol .

Lastmankc:
Wetin him mean by allowing the landlord or adult to enter demise premises?Him dey pray make him tenant die?

TrebleChamp:
It is not the responsibility of the tenant to pay tenement rate, plus which one be the term covenant (term looks suspicious)...

dominique:
Confusing English. Which one is demised premises Bayi?

makemoneywbsite:


Demised owner may be living with the tenant as a ghost in the house.

Psoul:


You are very very wrong.

The law gives him that right but he must access the house/rooms in agreement wt u.

achillesfoot:
No I didn't see that. I hereby retract my damnning words and offer my sincere apologies. You told him not to sign the agreement that was the part that got to me. I see nothing wrong with it. Those that say the use of covenant is scary, covenant and agreement is just same thing based on different dimensions bound together by a signature. Do not forget English language is derived from Latin. They are inter related. Have a blessed week Mister. You really do have a tough skin, keep it up it will serve you well in the days to come..

drealcivilceno:


Yes, when you will banging the bed against the wall like you are fighting WW1. I would like to check if a hole has been made somewhere in my house. Come na space you rent abeg!!!

just kidding. No not regularly, though...

incogni2o:


tell him to change the word covenant

This is a poorly drafted and ambiguous agreement .

Clause b3 and b4 are ambiguous . The attention aspect of the agreement is ambiguous , unneeded and poorly drafted .


What you are asking for is a professional legal advice which I can offer but of course, it is not free .

I would advise you don’t sign the agreement and if you need proper reasons as to why and what to do next , you can contact me via Pm or seek a nearby lawyer .

Remember , ignorance of the law is not an excuse and violenti non fit injuria .

somehow:


He said at all times

So if he's with his wife in the bedroom, the landlord have the right to burst in?

Like he's living there for free or what?

Even parents seek permission before entering their children's room.

Synord:


You are welcome boss .

Well, asides the poor draft and use of English language , an agreement is meant to be clear and not open to multiple interpretations.

Clause B3 and B4 is not favorable to the tenant because of the use of “ prior written consent of the landlord “ in B3 and “ to permit the landlord and his duly authorized agent into his apartment “ in B4 do not align with the right to private possession and enjoyment which the tenant is legally entitled to .

The “ Attention” Part that was emboldened in the agreement is even far more problematic .

There are two other stuffs wrong with that agreement and that’s why I advised he consulted a nearby lawyer or even a law student that is well grounded in tenancy and land law to help him .

Thanks

Charge and discharge...na this small question you dey find pm up and down!!!

Lekan239:
and this same ibos are too dirty.

somehow:

I did not say he can't come check, but that must be with his permission.

Leaving the phrase on the contract that way gives the landlord right to break in without his permission even if the door is locked.
