On issue of agreement.

Lagos state tenancy law 2011 section 3(a),(b),(c) states that agreement can be express or implied, oral, written, partly oral or partly written, for fixed term.

Section 5(1) states that any landlord or agent acting on his/her behalf shall issue a receipt upon receipt of rent. Section 5(3) says the defaulter is liable to fine of #100,000.

I know our legal system is poor but I pray OP resolves his matter amicably.

I prefer a written agreement which is more valid in the court of law

When ever you are going into any contractual agreement with a person, make sure you receive a receipt or acknowledgment in respect to the transaction.

When next you are paying her, ask her for receipt or written acknowledgement evidencing receipt of the rent duelly signed by her.
Continue to live in the house if you are comfortable living there, but don't forget to collect receipt next time.
Thanks

Thanks i will do exactly what you said. Though i told my wife to video her whenever she is collecting the money without her knowing it. And thats the only evidence we have. But my land lady and lawyer hmmm Thanks

this is where i specialise, embracing troubles

My twin, I greet you Sir

xcommando:
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

My say on this.

First, you made a mistake by not signing a tenancy agreement with the landlady. That is aside for now.

Secondly, if the receipt given to you has a fixed tenancy period stated on it, you are are covered because agreement can also be oral (parol). If you paid for a full year, you are a yearly tenant and should be given 7days of owners intention to recover possession. Mind you, you are not entitled to 6months notice because your tenancy should be tenancy for a fixed term according to Lagos state tenancy law 2011.
In view of the above, your landlady has no other option than to wait for your tenancy to elapse before quitting you unless she wants to use force which is against the law if you know your rights.
If she wants to sell her property to another person, she can do so while you are in occupation and you become the new owners burden.
To cut the whole thing short, contact a lawyer to write to her on your behalf. She should settle her issue with her estate agent.

Thank you

Thank you sir.

Thanks i appreciate. Though i usually take a video of her recieving the money without her knowledge. What do you think?

Videoing her collecting the money can not be enough evidence to show she collected rent from you. She can claim the money people saw in the video is money you owe her for another thing.

The best evidence is she writing a receipt or acknowledgment stating the purpose of the money, amount collected, tenancy period, property address and appending her signature. That is what is obtainable in landlord and tenant law.

na wa for u o.

I really appreciate every one that gave me positive advice on what to do. The Agent came to my apartment on today 21 july, he pleaded with us that is just aware that the landlady sold the house, but we should calm down and put all the blames on him. He promise to get us a place we will relocate to within some little period and for the little period

As for the two weeks nice we should just calm down it won't be possible, he is going to discourse with her and if she persist on the two weeks he will take her to court.

I really appreciate everybody that took their time to tell me what to do. Am so grateful.
