Fellow Nlanders, please I need your help urgently. I 'subleased' a room for eight months, the woman I paid to told me her rent will expire in December. I paid in June so my rent is supposed to expire in February when I'll be through with my service (I'm a Batch A corper).

This morning, the caretaker brought a quit notice and it turns out the woman pays monthly instead of yearly. She was given a month notice earlier (I wasn't aware of this) and now she's been given one week to leave or the caretaker will file a summons to eject her... I paid to the woman and not the caretaker and even though the woman assured me nothing will happen, I'm scared she'll pack out during xmas period in my absence.

Please what do I do? Help a troubled soul!

@ corper, I expected that as an educated fellow you should cross check documentations before payment for an apartment. I hope it is Lagos, if it is, the process may run through January/February and by then you would have completed service year.

Yeah. That's the mistake I made. I was in a haste to secure accommodation so I didn't make proper enquiries.
