How Do I Handle My Landlord? by Feranchek(m): 8:17am On Dec 13, 2017
Hmmm.... my landlord na lawyer and just dey bully other tenants. Now na my turn and when he called me, na vex he take drop phone cos our discussion HOT. I paid towards the end of November last year. Light renovation was to take place in my apartment meaning I'll park in in about 2 weeks. Agent kon kukuma move my rent to Jan 1st. Landlord has been sending me messages to renew my rent and the messages usually come as threats. I just discarded them till he called me last month demanding renewal of my rent. I told him my rent was due by Jan 1st. He argued, threatened to throw me out buh I no send am. Na so he use vex cut. Called his agent and that one told him what was written in my receipt. Now Dec don reash and the man don start work again. He sends me bout 5 threat messages everyday (check the attached pictures) reminding me of my rent. I can afford to pay the rent but I don't plan to renew cos I wanna relocate due to work. Buh na by January ending my money go reash due to the kind of apartment I intend getting and yearly allowances being paid.


Question: How do I tackle this landlord come Jan

Nairalanders, make una epp me biko.

Easy. Simply ignore him.

**First to comment again within few minutes**

OP as a landlady myself I'd advise u you to stay till the end of your money and quietly move out. He is only trying to make u pay your rent on time when due because most tenants resent paying rent and will not pay their rent on time unless pressured in advance.

SIMPLE: Since he knows your rent will be due by January,just ignore him cos he can't do anything till then

The best way to handle your landlord is to buy his house. Or get yours.

Some landlord are funny and wicked some times but many tenants are stupid.
That money they pay to landlord seem to pain them to their bone marrow as if they want to live freely in another man's investment.

What stops you from being diplomatic and talk to the landlord with respect knowing that he is your host for the moment other than this arrogance of yours.

He is human and if approached with the proper language and in proper way he must yield.

We all dream to have ours someday or you may have yours somewhere but you don't move with house like tortoise.

Remember whatever you do to someone,same shall be done unto you. That is Karma for you.

Meanwhile,I'm a tenant somewhere too so don't misunderstand me.

Nairalanders, make una epp me biko.
just reply the text and say you do not wish to renew and give him your date of moving out simple, the landlord is a Biz man not your friend, he does not need to be nice to you niether do you need to be nice to him.

with the way you have treatred the issue by ignoring his text guy take my advice, just move out of the house when your rent is due, do not live one day past it.If I was your landlord nah outside you things dey go, sorry but thats the truth.Move out at the end of your rent or Renew, as things stands, you are meant to give him notice of renewal or notice of moving out to make the Landlord arrange a new tenant.

Yes he's a businessman, but about not being nice to each other. . . . That really doesn't make sense to me.

Re: How Do I Handle My Landlord? by NoToPile: 6:27pm On Dec 13, 2017
Lool.

Simply tell him you don't plan to renew the rent so he can start looking for other tenants. I don't blame him though for the programmed reminder.
