don't you have rent tribunal in your area. report as soon as possible.

even with that there is no guarantee of getting back your money. as a result of Nigerian factor.

you know what I mean.


Please I'm begging you, start making provision to pay for a new apartment.

I'm telling you this out of experience.

is the landlord rich? if yes, I'm sorry.

Na you build the house?

If the owner decides to sell his property so be it


Meet the agent​ and collect your money or better still meet the new owner and negotiate



Or look for another apartment.

Make sure you hold that caretaker very well and ensure you collect every damn money both commission and agreement because eventually if u will pack out you will need that money to get a new apartment ...

He can't collect anything, he didn't collect d agreement of the house.

Sufficing that the Agent you contracted with is the one that manages the landlady's estate, then you are safe.
The principle in this case is that he who does something through another, does it himself.

The Land lady is under the obligation to hv an agent whose character is unquestionable. because sufficing the Agent has been known to have been acting on the landlady's behalf..
The customers contracting with the Agent, will be shileded by the law, should in-case the Agent does something and the landlady complains that she knows nothing about.
If a Principal (ur landlady finds out that the Agent is questionable, she is to put the public on notice, because even after sacking the Agent without notifying the public, anyone who enters into an agreement with the Agent, believing that he is entering into a contract with the landlady will be protected by the law.


in this case, the Agent is still working for her principal... so you are covered.. get a lawyer for cover.
Your advice come long pass the guy problem

My caretaker told the landlord that I paid part of my rent and he is pleading on my behalf that I will pay the rest *while it's all lies*..,
The landlord came for normal inspection and fortunately, I m home. We've never met before, I spoke/relate freely with him like somebody who is not begging for mercy.
He then told me what the caretaker said about the money issue I laughed and refer him back to his dubious caretaker who has even increase the rent without him knowing.
In a nutshell we became friends and now chat on whatsapp.

Back to the topic, if OP knows that the information getting from the neighbours is true, then go and confront the landlady directly.

I got this new apartment in April, through a caretaker/agent, we did all necessary discussion though no any written agreement. I paid him both the rend and commission and he gave me my receipt, I move into the apartment in June. I got home last night and got information that my landlady said he has sold the house out that they need to start working on the house before August rain. So we should start preparing on how to move out.

After my findings from the person that passed the information to me I discover that she is having money issues with the caretaker because my neighbour told me that she claim not to know that they are new tenants in the house, she heard it from people that they are new tenants in the apartment which she is not aware of so i just concluded that for her not to be aware the money has not be giving to her by her caretaker.

Now, the information reaching me is that the caretaker claim he want to balance the people that pack out of the house. He said their rent did not expire before they move out.

I told my neighbour that she sent to us(me and the other guy), if she is having issues with her caretaker they should resolve it within themselves for me I no dey pack
I need your advice on what to do

NO written agreement!



NO WRITTEN AGREEMENT!

CHief....I don't even know where to start with you.

I have been renting accommodation since my university days. The very first property I rented....I signed a rental agreement with the agent who was acting on my landlord's behalf. Halfway through my tenancy, the landlord died...and his sons shared the property. Yet.....because I had signed a legal agreement....the son who inherited the building where I was living could not move me out....until my rent had expired (and he even came to offer me a new rental agreement....but at the time I had to move due to changed circumstances).

SInce then, I have been signing rental agreements. Even the brief time I spent outside Naija....I signed rental agreements. I am in the process of moving out of my rented flat to a new place....and I signed a prepared agreement yesterday.

Bros....no document. In fact, thank God your landlady no come call Agbero and police to come and violently evict you. Even if you go to court....na waste of time.

Next time....ask for signed agreement....prepped by a lawyer and /or legally recognized agent representing the landlord/landlady/owner of the rental. Even if you are renting from your BEST friend......do that thing...so that when wahala strikes....at least you get defence.
.

Thank you sir, this will be an eye opener for me because here we don't sign document..All the houses have stayed I have never sign a document, once you have been issued a receipt case close. moreover. The Agent involve is a recognised agent in that area.
