I dont know about other states, but in Lagos state Landlord no de fit take tenant for granted, thanks to Babatunde Rajiv Fashola, my landlord thought he is wise served me and either tenant in our 2 bedroom flat one month notice, we were not keening him, he wanted to renovate the house according to him, we got a good lawyer followed the landlord bumber to bumber, after one year and six month court has not decided our case, during the cause of renovation, the landlord removed our roof, we snapped that as an exhibit, we went to court and we claimed a damaged of N10m, after 2 years we were still patronizing the court. You have to see how this landlord and his fake lawyer came one saturday started crawling on the floor begging we tenant to go and settle the case out of court. As a person I decided yo pack out of the apartment after 2 years of not paying anything. Could you believe that some tenant still stay in that compound for 4 years without paying? Please just be careful, understand the caliber of your tenant. Here in Lagos, the lady thing a Landlord will do is to have an evictipn issues with their tenants, I dont know of other state. GOD BLESS BABATUNDE RAJI FASHOLA for helping tenant to unplug the wings of done evil landlords here in Lagos. Elo oni baje.

Hahahaha.. grin this your post really made me laugh. How naïve can one be. Do you think we are talking about renting or tenants in Iceland, Sweden or Norway. Try this your suggestion with tenants in Mushin, Agege, Okoko, Orile and other parts of Lagos and Nigeria. In such places, Landlords go to the police crying. To make matters worse, the same PC you are lodging your complaint with at the police station is a tenant in a similar situation. His own case may even be worse than that of the tenant you are trying to throw out.
The law is a complete ass in Nigeria. It's neatly and properly spelt out on paper. But the reality is a nightmare. Come back home, Bro.

I understand the lack of respect for the law in Nigeria. I'm only pointing out the fact that it is not legal for any tenant to occupy one's property without paying rent not even 4 one day except otherwise agreed by all parties involved.

good day, i am a property consultants this is what the law says if you take a rent of one year from your tenant and you want to make use of that house latter you will give the tenant quite notice of one year the same day you collected money from them and if they are the one that refuse to pay all you will do is to give them some time to pay if you take them to court they will give them six mount and if after then they did not still pay the courts wil give them some weeks again before action so what u need to do now is to play along with them cos you cant trow them out of the house and remember they paid you for aggreement .

Brother, I know how you feel, not in this present Nigerian economy, but please before you take your action, please take time to read the following;


PROPERTY EVICTION: The Rights of a Landlord

It is generally believed that landlords are belligerent, troublesome people who lord their properties over tenants and try to make life uncomfortable for them but this is not always true. Just as tenants have been at the mercy of landlords, landlords have also been treated with contempt and maligned by tenants. Frustrated with tenants who refuse to pay rent, damage their properties and cause conflicts amongst other tenants, landlords are often faced with the option of ejecting such a tenant. There are however rules by law that must be followed and a landlord needs to know these rules so as not to be in err of the law.

By law, it is wrong for a landlord to forcibly eject a tenant no matter how much rent he or she owes or how cantankerous such a tenant is. The recovery of property by law in most states in Nigeria and anywhere in the world really unfortunately for landlords is in the favour of the tenant. This is done by the different law making bodies of the states to curb the excesses of landlords and ensure that tenants are not entirely at their mercy to be treated anyhow. A landlord who therefore wishes to eject his tenant for whatever reason must use the method prescribed by law.

The law states that a landlord must give his tenant reasonable time to vacate the property by serving him a quit notice and this is dependent on the tenancy period. For a yearly, tenant, the law provides that he must be given a six months quit notice, a quarterly tenant, a quarter’s notice, monthly tenant, a month’s notice and a weekly tenant, a week’s notice. The quit notice must be written and served on the tenant. These provisions are however subject to the tenancy agreement between the tenant and the landlord. In a case where it is expressly stated in the tenancy agreement that no notice will be given to the tenant, the landlord can go ahead and eject such a person without notice as long as the tenant duely executed the tenancy agreement.

In the case where a quit notice has been served and the tenant still refuses to vacate the property after the notice has elapsed, the law still does not permit the landlord to take matters into his hand and forcibly evict the tenant. Rather, the law expects another seven days notice of owner’s intention to recover property to be served. This notice is usually from the landlord’s Lawyer or Agent’s Legal Unit, informing the tenant his intention of proceeding to court to recover the property on behalf of the landlord.

It is important to note that this seven days notice of owner’s intention to recover property can only be served on a tenant after the expiration of a valid “Notice to Quit”. If served before a notice to quit or during the life span of a notice to quit, it is invalid and discredited. Also, this seven days notice is counted seven days from the date the notice is served. If it is less, the court will most likely reject its validity.

In the case where the tenant is still in possession of the property after a seven days notice has been served, the tenant is referred to as a statutory tenant i.e. a tenant of the law. This is because the law is allowing such a tenant to maintain possession of the property without paying rent to his landlord. However, after the court hearing, the court can order the tenant to pay rent accumulated in the duration the tenant held the property after notice has been served or what is referred to as mesne profits to the landlord.


PROPERTY EVICTION: Rights of a Tenant

Relationships are the bane of human existence; they are what sustains us, keeps us going and makes us alive. Whether we want to or not, our very nature is woven to rely on relationships and in the course of our lives, one of the relationships we will have is the landlord-tenant one. Unfortunately, this relationship is one of the most controversial relationships in life. It s filled with issues, conflicts and disputes and are often not amicable resolved even where attempts are made to resolve them. The sensitization of people to the fact that the law can be used to deal with a lot of the problems characterized in this relationship has however turned things around. Especially the mediation approach where a win:win situation is usually the objective.

Once upon a time, a landlord could wake up one day and decide he wants the tenant out of his house; perhaps out of spite, perhaps because he needs the property urgently, perhaps because he has a better offer. Whatever the reason, it didn’t matter. The landlord is the alpha and omega and the tenant at his mercy. Failure of the tenant to comply would often result in a forced eviction. The tenant is forcibly removed from the premises with his or her things thrown out and sometimes, the tenant’s property is removed from the premises in his or her absence. Call it “Jankara” or “OPC” method, some landlords and quack agents have almost perfected this act of illegality. The trend has however been abated with the realization that such actions is frowned at by the law.

Regardless of the type of occupancy, whether informal settlements, lease, rental accommodation, cooperative housing or emergency housing, or the type of housing or interest of a person in a house, all occupants are entitled to a measure of security of tenure which guarantees equal protection against intimidation, harassment, threats and forced eviction without due process of law. This means that no landlord, whether individual, a corporate organization or even the government, has the right to take matters into his hands by ejecting a tenant without resorting to the law. The landlord and Tenant relationship is guided by Law and both parties have their cover or protection against any untoward behavior of the other party in Law.

As a tenant, it is your right by law to have adequate notice to quit if your landlord wishes to take possession of his premises. No longer can the landlord come in the morning and ask you to quit by evening if he has not served the appropriate and due notice. Lawfully, the notice to quit is what puts an end to the term created by a tenancy and this is usually stated in the tenancy agreement. Where it is not expressly stated, a weekly tenancy is terminated by a week’s notice, a monthly tenancy is terminated by a month’s notice and a quarterly notice is given to terminate a quarterly tenancy while a yearly tenancy is terminated by six months notice. The nature of a tenancy is determined by reference to the time when rent is paid or demanded.

Some tenancy agreements have shorter or longer notices. Some even state that notices will not be given in the case where the landlord wishes to eject the tenant. This is why it is important to read the tenancy agreement carefully before signing because the law honours agreement between parties, and in the case where you sign a lawful agreement that limits your rights, you will be bound by it. Claiming you didn’t know holds no water because ignorance of the law affords no excuse.

In the case where the landlord takes you to court as a tenant, the court cannot eject you without hearing from you. This is because the amended 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria states that all persons in the country have certain undeniable rights which include the Right to Fair hearing. No person (tenant) can be tried in a competent court without allowing him to be heard. As a tenant, you also have the right to sue your landlord if he does not follow the due process of the law and forcibly throws you out.

Thanks

Since you have mentioned Otokoto and Abacha, let me ask you, how long did they live to enjoy their ill-gotten wealth?
There's a great difference between success and good success which the Lord gives...You ask me what I've achieved?
Well by God's grace i have done well for myself without hurting another person and by His grace I will still achieve more

which state did dis happen

Lagos state my dear. I latter abandoned the case cos the tenant latter moved out.
let me break it down for you.
1) the case was mentioned the 1st day and next was hearing date.

2) the next hearing date (after one month) a magistrate burial date.

3) the next date (after one month) fall in when Lagos state declare public holidays for voters card.

4) the next date judiciary went on strike that lasted for three months.

5) the next date was three after presidential election the magistrate didn't come.

6) the next date (after one month) I enter witness box.

7)then followed by another 4 months strike. (Totaling 12 months now)

coolthe next date we were asked to serve the defendant notice.

9)the next date (after one month) the defendant came to court to say they were not served properly within the stipulated time.

10) then followed by re-shufflement of magistrate another 7 months the case was taking to another court.

I can go on and on.

I dont think it will work like that and besides there is no way u will know that they are going to owe you prior to the expiration of their rent fee.
So how come u will know that they wont pay you after some months meanwhile their rent never expire.

Please be coherent


That's why you have to know your tenants well. Sometimes it could just be sensing that one is in subordinate, or one tenant is trying to act like the landlord at ur absence without ur approval. Those are danger signs.

This same issue happened to my mum and her tenants, even though my mum had an agent. Before they could evict all of them, they had to involve the bale of the area. Some of them owing hundreds of thousands, it wasn't funny.

Please don't listen to wrong advice o, I am also talking from experience, 2013, my landlord gave me 7 days quit notice because i could not pay him 2 months rent. I told him to give me 3 months to pay all outstanding, but he refused, instead he gave me 7 days to pack out from the house i have leaved for 7 years. On the 7th day, he came with a quack lawyer, who served me a fake court notice to pack out from the house, they brought my properties out and I went to Lagos state mediating center at Alausa, they were also charge to court and my landlord and the quack lawyer were reminded in prison for 14 days, the apartment remained locked for 3 years of court proceeding, they later asked for out of court settlement, they agreed to pay for all the things i reported missing and damaged and to pay my house rent of where I was staying during the court proceedings....pls don't listen to online lawyers, because there are conditions on tenant and landlord relationship

No wonder.

The landlord was at fault by packing out your items without a proper court order(fake as you called it)

Now , try this again with a Landlord who is learned on this matter and see how it turns out. You go hear am.
