As a landlord, talking from experience, tenants are wicked, just a few are nice,
Tenants will put on the pumping machine running all nights and it's burns and you expect the landlord to fix it? Nepa takes the light no tenant will switch off the pumping machine, but if it's their 50 inch smart TV, they will switch it off, lights comes could be high voltage or low voltage. These are the things that damage pumping machine

Good

No matter how you put it, its the landlords responsibility to fix things such as pumping machine. This items are not what the tenant's handles themselves, its spoilage could be linked to faulty electricity or expiration.
Except stated in the agreement, if not the landlords want to be getting new tenant yearly.

Levels1:



Why are you displaying your ignorant to the general public?

No one is an island of knowledge but your own problem is that you are not ready to learn.

It is the duty of the landlord to provide water for the tenants since is within the agreement.

If along the lines the pumping machine got spoiled, it is the sole duty of the landlord to repair it.

You are judging base on the fact that the landlord doesn't stay with them I guess?

For the fact that the tenants are the ones using it doesn't mean they are to repair it.

The fact that they on the machine on behalf of the landlord as such it was the duty of the landlord they're doing simply because it affects them directly.

For better illustrations all this hostel builts do have pumping machines and the owners offen times employ securities to guide the house and also to on the water when there's light.

So if along the lines it got spoiled, who's to repair it? Certainly the landlord.

What I'm saying is that the landlord naturally supposed to get someone whom to be operating the water but for the fact that the tenants decided to on it doesn't make them liable for repairing it.

I talked as a landlord whom have been repairing is own more than 5 solid good years.


Hello, sorry who's to evacuate the soakaway?

Do you mean is the duty of the tenants to do so?

If yes, am sorry to ask you; How old are you please?

you are a bloody tenant buying time with court quit notice.

Some comments here are futile, landlord that's not living with you will help you to fix your fix your faulty pumping machine or buy you a new one right?
When you're ask to contribute money to fix your street transformer that's faulty or the cable stolen, wait for the government to buy the stolen cable back for you then

Normally it's the landlords responsibility. But things are not normal in this part of the world. Pumping machine is something that is in the ground and I don't think any tenant can go in the ground and spoil it.
The best tenants can do is help. Tenants can pay 50% of the cost.
Some wicked landlords leave it for tenants who have no choice than to repair it. But it is the landlords responsibility.

Jones4190:

if the tenant fix it for you then they reserve the right to remove it when they are packing out

Then the tenants should return the one the landlord put in place for them in good and working condition

Good point there!! It depends on the situation. If it due to carelessness on the tenants landlord shouldnt be called on. If it spoiled due age , land Lord should be involved

What of the landlord installed substandard pump

Enemyofpeace:
Help us solve this matter. Who should buy the pumping machine?

Ideally it is the tenants after the first one is provided by landlord when tenancy started. This is the breakdown is most likely due to ware and tear after prolonged and excessive use by tenants. It’s like replacing the bulbs in the house etc.

Is work of landlord to provide what his/her Tennant needs, in case Tennant has financial capacity they can go ahead but depends on their relationship

Depends on how the pumping machine got faulty

Tenants should just close eyes and buy that machine if they are in Lagos.

If landlord disguise say him wan renovate his building and give una quit notice una go see shege ooo

Houses in Lagos now are not only expensive but very hard and depressing to find. Even if you find one it will be so substandard and cost will be on the high side...

I am talking from experience, don't go and be reading yeye law that you know your right, there is no right in lagos ooo landlord will always win unless you have money and time to be going to court and paying lawyer


I sha Don talk my own. Lagos now so long as where you are is OK, just be overlooking landlord's excesses till you have money to move out else you go hear word by force

fergie001:

The landlord left it for them in good condition and doesn't even live in the house.

They are the ones using it. They either buy/repair it or stay without water.

So the tenant now went in there and spoilt it. If the landlord wants no hold the tenant responsible he should provide a stabilizer especially if its a multi apartment. Why because water was considered in the rent.

To replace a pumping machine, it means the machine is old and weak OR severely bad due to constant damages. Hence, it is the duty of the Landlord to replace. But it is the duty of the tenants to fix a damaged pumping machine, if the landlord isn't staying with them. (This is what we do in my compound)

I work with an estate management

This man Sabi..

Responsible tenants repairs it while the idiotic ones keep hoping for the landlord

Gbam. You just nailed it

somehow:
To avoid issues like this, landlords should charge service fees.

Beside service feel, there is what is call causion feels that cover things like that

Enemyofpeace:
Help us solve this matter. Who should buy the pumping machine?

To be candid, if my tenants are good people such that, whenever I go for inspection, the house is still well kept, I will fix the pumping machine whenever it spoils.

But if na guragura tenants, I nor dey fix anything. When you nor pay I go dash you three months from my heart (streets) and expect you to pack out after a grace of 90 days..

IF you nor commot, OYO!

whose own the machine, the tenant or the landlord?

who is the owner of the machine? landlord or tenant?

So as its the duty of the landlord to ensure there is electricity before rent was collected, hence if nepa takes light landlord will come on generator for you. muumuu agbado boy like you

Semaj77:

that is not how it works, I taking rate, the landlord collect 5% as causion feel, that feel cover all this expenses like pumping machine

Everything depends on the agreement on maintenance, but normally the pumping machine can be in place before tennats move inn.

Caution fee is for when you're moving out.
To cover for anything you must have damaged internally.

If everything was working fine.. bfr the tenant enter. And landlord isn't staying there. Na tenant go arrange am. But if landlord is staying there. Both are to contribute in arranging it... Some landlord however take responsibility. But it's good tenant share from it so de won't misuse it... Most things that get spoiled in rented apartments are caused mostly by tenants

Oracleee:


It's quite cheeky. That's why it's always okay to have a future agreement before paying for rent

Any sensible landlord should know that. A tenant can cause a long term damage fixing a pumping machine in the wrong part of the house all in the name of giving freedom to do what he likes

CaptainFM1:


The landlord only need to buy it once. And once the tenant damage it, it's there duty to buy replacement pump.

who owns the machine? landlord or the tenant?

Agbegbaorogboye:
Pumping machines especially the submersible type are buried underground.
If it spoils, it's the responsibility of the landlord to fix it.
If he doesn't, anytime the tenants are going, they reserve the right to remove it and leave his faulty one for him.
Any landlord wey wan show himself, his eyes will clear when the tenant is packing out.

I once had a landlord who showed himself and I cleared his eyes

Best answer

Buddha3:


I dey like tenants like you wey dey always feel like Nigerian version of Saddam Hussein.

You use facility for my apartment until e spoil, you come dey carry shoulders on top.

LMAO!
E be like e dey hungry you to sleep for cold dark cell with no window.

What is this one saying?
Cold dark cell on top say I remove my property
You must be highly high
I'm sure folks like you if you own a house will tell the tenants to sleep outside once it's 10:00 p.m.
As I said, your eyes will clear
