Teespice:
first of all you are a yearly tenant which means that your landlord going by the provisions of the tenancy laws of lagos state is meant to give you six months notice. he ran foul of that when he gave you five days notice. you are not a weekly tenant na. weekly tenants even get seven days notice.

him resorting to self help by threatening to call OPC as well as blocking certain areas of the house with brick is trespass on your landlords part. you can sue him for damages. a tenant has certain rights one of which is freedom from unreasonable disturbances and right to privacy as well as the right to use and enjoy the common areas of the house which in this case is the back door.

he has no right to disconnect your electricity nor your water supply. it is a clear breach of his obligations as a landlord.

you have a good case against him.

hope this helps. cheers.

Cest' Fini............This piece of advice is all you need.

By law you cannot just get up and sack your tenants without issuing a quit notice and after this is done the tenant has up to six months to leave your apartment.

BULLSHIT STORY! you said it all, move this to the FrontPage! i stopped believing your c0ck$hit story from the time you said your landlord who just came back from UK sweating over 60k which is is less than £150, tot fashola laid some guidelines on housing issues. if you are really in distress you would not be online /NL wasting time and money to buy data to upload this c0ck and bull, you will be straight to the police or your local area council to complain about this injustice. Abeg Go park well and i meant that in literary terms... kmt!

my own house is in Ikorodu, my tenant didn't pay for one year, took her to court, before the eviction notice, ran off, one year rent gone, agent did jack$hit, I don't pity tenant! when its not their house they lord-it.. when will i recoup my investment if tenant keep running of with my rent! God will judge all bad tenants!

Everyone MUST live and abide by the law of the land. The Lagos state government has prescribed a minimum of 6 months notice/grace for eviction - anyone doing anything in contrary is committing crime.

Laws are made that people do not turn themselves into gods.

Bro, how much do you have as we are talking? I live close to your area and we can quickly get a small apartment to rent. Then you can begin to discuss other things with the Landlord. Guys let come together to help.

I can volunteer to visit his house and verify things after which we can make the needed support today or latest tomorrow.

Take him to court. Trust me, you'll use 1 free year extra.

He's supposed to serve you a 6 month's notice before proceeding to court to get an eviction notice.

The govt takes such cases seriously now.

Re: My Landlord Wants To Throw Me Out! Please Help! by kaziblake(f): 11:42am On Mar 17, 2016
I don't know who to believe because some tenants are very troublesome.

Some tenants will fustrate you,they won't pay house rent and light bills and still,they won't go.

Instead of going to court to challenge him,use the the money to look for another apartment.
It's well

Storming your tenant's place is a crime and can send you to jail.

He has diabolical powers yet he still needs to oppress his tenants to augment his income. He should have been using the powers to make money instead. This Landlord or any other landlord is subject to the law of land on tenancy.

You have to use full force in some cases,those tenants are too stubborn,You can not recoup the money you spent to build a house in 20years let alone playing with a tenant who refuse to pay a token or refuse to leave the house

I appreciate all your contributions, He is only using the other tenants as excuse to throw us all out, people who have been on this street for long told us that is his usual routine especially when he needs money. I will work on the public defender thing and post all feedbacks here. Please I need more suggestions. It's Thursday already and he is coming tomorrow Friday. I still have not taken any concrete decision

Oga Desperate situation requires desperate actions,,,
...............................................................
I believe that house is situated in Lagos state,,,,,,,,,if YES,,,then what you need is to "buy" more time so you and your family can move,,,,, That time is what your landlord is not willing to give you willingly,,,,,,,,,Oga you can get that time "Forcefully" however with a very nice plan.........
.....
Trust me you can survive in lagos without kicking some balls..........How ?...
....
...
.1. Don't tell anyone about these plan.

.2. Go to the nearest Police Station,,,Report that your landlord that he's harassing your wife and threatening your little children....

.3. Make sure your statement and complain is well documented at the police station,U can even ask for a copy,,that police issue won't cost you more than 2k,,,Remember to include the OPC issue in the statement...

.4. Look for the Nearest Lagos State Citizen Mediation Centre close to You and report your issue to them...(Pls make sure Your case is handled by a woman),,,Explain everything to her,"add emotions & ur childrens security issue".....go with copies of Utility bills and Rent Receipt .......Make your case believable,,,,You can do all these within 3days.....Trust me.

.5. Your Landlord will be invited Over,,,,Don't worry, he'll come to you to shout and shout but trust me he'll honour that invitation unless if he doesn't want that house again...........You just grow to be deaf and dumb to abuses......Just for ur family and time.....

.6. If you do all these well,,U'll get at least 3months time to move,,,,FREE of CHARGE,,,starting from when the agreement is reached.

.7.Don't overlook my advice,,a tenant has done it to us before.......

.8. If u need more info just Metion me on Nairaland...........




...... I hope that helps,,,,,,

my bro.Legally by virtue of d.provision in section8 of the Recovery of Premises Law u r entitled to 6 months after d.end of ur term to remain in possession.and dis 6 months must expire at d eve of the anniversary of d tenancy.e.g if a tenancy was created 6th of march 2016 u r not expected to leave unless d notice asks u to leave on d 5th of march 2017.If d landlord goes ahead to use thugs make sure u sue him for Trespass and u would make alot of money in form of damages
