How Do I Deal With My Landlord? by Dicksonpal: 8:28am On Dec 17, 2017 |
Good morning nairaland Please, this is not a counter thread to yesterday's.... I stay in a self con, just because I felt like I needed to be a man of own and not stay in my fathers house any longer. So I got this house last year December, all packages was paid for including damages and likes. I was told light was stable, water runs into the house, pump fully working and other amenities. Fast forward to after I moved in, non of this was working, for a whole year it was a low current, I fetch water from the well, in fact nothing was working. After four months in the house I noticed the land lord was living close by, this got to me cause I never wanted a monitoring sprit as a landlord. The man is so naive and wicked, he creates problem with his tenants so he can them out after a year for refreshed packages. Anytime he wants to try that with me am always calm,so he doesn't have a reason to misbehave. After 6 months of no light he brought the bill and asked us to pay, I was reluctant cus I felt at least we should pay half the money since there had been no light. The next thing was to cut all light entering each rooms, promising reconnectection after payment. I made the payment cause 6k is not the problem. With all these observations I called the agent and told him I hope he won't give me too quit notice after a year, the same way he does to others, he told me blatantly that "shey be e se landlord ( u dint offend him na"). I was like so quit notice is the reward for annoying the landlord. I was like no shaking, I go show una. Just a month ago the light was fully repaired, not very high current, but at least TV is working and fan. My rent is due, i was asked to pay the new rent, wanted to wire the money when the agent called me and told me I was to pay extra 20k for damages, I was like, what the flying Bleep!!!, does one pay damages twice, I told him he should point out what I damaged, he said that's how the landlord wants his own... I felt bad and betrayed, used and dumped. After a whole year of running on generating set. This is a movement driving towards very obvious quit notice. Of which me sef no be butter but I like respecting people. Dear nairalanders, how do you guys think I can go about it, 20k makes a difference in the economy oo.

Is that the only apartment you can get? is the rent that cheap? its obvious u're not a student so how do u cope without those basic amenities. I'll advice u get a new apartment instead of been threatened with quit notice cos if u pay now, U'll pay next year nd d following..,.... 26 Likes 2 Shares |

I pity you ,coping with this economy problem + Buhari problem then getting home you can't have peace at home adding the problem of your landlord to it. OP you are writing letter to health issues.

so the landlord wants you to be paying for damages every year! It seem you are the gentleman fela was talking about in his song. who gentleman eppp? Remove your sokoto and show him some craze. Bring some bad boys to smoke indian hemp in his house for like everyday and let him smell it. Next time he comes with the payment for damages, look him in the eye and tell him to "Bleep OFF". When your house rent expires, tell him you will pay him but dont have the money yet. postpone the payment till about 4 months into the new year. By then he will know you are not a gentleman. 20 Likes |

Why do you want to continue in fear of the known and unknown? Start looking for a new place, let him take you to court and give you a quit notice then let the court case drag for months before the eventually verdict that will give you extra 6-12 months without rent to move out. The sweetest part is that you are not obligated to pay a penny while the whole process is ongoing. Free housing for you for like a year(give or take). That will teach him to respect his tenants.

OP, give a lawyer that 20k to use in writing a letter to your landlord and see how he'll comport himself. But if I were you, I'll pack out of the place to a more conducive environment. Don't let the landlord infect you with his poverty mentality. 7 Likes |
