@ slimmy05...Enough of your boisterous assertions on a faceless forum as NL. The agreement would read you're a monthly tenant paying up a years' rent advance. Come to think of it would you not also be paying for the services of the lawyers you'll be engaging? What about the man-hours you'll have to loose yourself? You need to also jam a very good Landlord who upon discerning your antics would either have you framed up by corrupt law enforcement chaps or outrightly killed by hired street urchins.

@slimmy05......Once the right steps as provided for in law are adhered to...culminating a valid order of court for the recovery j reversion of the possesion of the let property back to the landlord...No one needs a Festus Keyamo as his lawyer....for you to be cleared of all your recedivist doubts...You'll be made an instant neighbourhood celebrity to the delight of street urchins when the mechinery of the Nigerian state is brought to bear in enforcing the valid order of the court.
dude, all this are mere rants. You think getting court injunction to evict a tenant is like buying newspaper? You don't get the jerk bro. It will dawn on you when you meet that tenant who will go the extra mile with you

The landlord caused him damages worth 300,000 and ends up being given an OPTIONAL fine of 50,000?
I don't get it. Someone should please explain the maths and reason behind this.
the Fine is paid to the state. In lieu of imprisonment. The accused will still pay damages to the complainant to the extent he was able to prove.

I am amused by his boasts. If he were to be my tenant, I wonder how things will play out when he defaults on payment. One is that, I hardly give anyone more than three months grace. After that, the whole talk will be done in writing through my lawyer.

I will make you a tenant in your own house. This is not a boast. An averge Igbo business man despite a tenant can still buy your house and make you a tenant. Dude, you'll beg when it happens. I will never default on payment, I don't stand on that grounds. But if otherwise giving flimsy excuses relating to the notice. Then be ready from r flimsy excuses moving out. You never jam Igbo tenant.

It's not irregularities. The laws are made to protect the tenant and landlord.
Unfortunately, if your tenant refuses to pay rent and does not move out, from that moment begin to seek legal redress.

The problem is that some persons who are supposed to stay in one-room or even half-room get themselves into flats and to pay rent becomes a problem.

Gbam, so they can form big boy/girl. Some will even start claiming that they own the house (Emeka Ike) type. If you have problems paying the rent then the building is too expensive for you, go and cut your coat according to your size.

Don't mind all these people who are quick to judge. And while I don't condone harsh treatments from Landlords, some tenants are simply wicked!! One of my mum's tenants is owing rent for more than 2years now. She has neither refused to pay nor leave, even when my mum asked her to forget the rent she's owing and move out. This is just one of them. And my mum is the type that has too much sympathy on people. She ends up pleading for them each time we want to take it up

Now tell me how many people here can tolerate such tenants

Those people hailing the tenant and totally condemning the landlord obviously are equally irresponsible as this wicked tenants.
It is simply irresponsibility that will make someone not to make the paying of his or her rent a top priority.
This is my dad's style. He pays his house rent before even considering paying our school fees. When he lost his job at a point, the land lord was very considerate and did not border us over a period of two years after we overcame the ordeal and eventually ended up collecting just half of the whole amount and extremely commended my dad to be a very responsible man.

Your mum need an agent. A good one. I had a similar problem sometimes ago. All four of my tenants conspired not to pay for two years after the initial payment when they moved in.+ that they were dirty and vandals. When it became obvious I can't get them to pay or move out, I unfortunately had to go through the stress of contacting a lawyer who served them a court summon. The lawyer used his experience to fast track the process, within three months, the court ordered that they be evacuated forcefully and their vital property worth the cost of rent where seized pending when they are able to pay up. Though I parted with some 75k to the lawyer and police, but the tenants were all disgraced. He made sure the evacuation was sudden. Most of their belongings were destroyed in the process, they had no plans of what to do, because it was too sudden.
I was thereafter advised to get an agent and since then, I get my rent in due time or notice of inability to meet up + that the property is well taken care of and maintained. So tell your mum to get a good and trusted house agent and save her self from these set of irresponsible human beings. As you can see from this thread, they are numerous.

Uncle, the law is clear about how to evict a defaulting tenant and yet recover your outstanding rent which in law is technically known as mesne profits. Taking the laws into your hand because you are the landlord is callous and irresponsible beyond its illegality. I am a landlord and accord tenants their rights at law without prejudice to my legally recognized rights too
