I was given 6 months quit notice, 6 months to the expiration of my rent, I went to court to challenge it , the court ruled that the landlord has no right to give me quit notice when my rent has not expired, the court said the quit notice begins the first day my tent expire .
Let me tell you, if you are given quit notice before the expiration of your rent, aproach the coutt first and challenge it, I tell you you can stay even two years after your rent has expired without paying Kobo

Most of the people making contributions here are pro landlords, how can a Lord give you quit notice and still expecting you to pay. I have been given quit notice more than 5 times, the first time I was scared because the man gave me 30 days without owing him, I end up spent One year, Most landlord don't go to lawyer to give you quit notice, if you are giving a a quit notice and you felt cheated approach a lawyer, instead of leaving in fear, your lawyer will lead you through the problem we always have as a tenant is that lawyer will charge you too much, if you are open to your lawyer, your lawyer will always help you

Hello... Is there a way we can chat away from nairaland? Are you based in Lagos

jangos:
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

mfm04622:


I am not in Lagos. Used to be.

Ryabcool:
too bad. I have some tenants from hell who have taken my niceness and youthfulness for mumuness and I need to change that.

Some advice and procedures would have been really appreciated

It's like you can't read or maybe you are blind. Was it my house? Was I his landlord?
Boy, go and make money and stop being a beggar. Your mates are building houses and you are fighting with landlord. You can't pay rent and you're talking nonsense.

Bring criminals na, let me use African tinz to wreck your life. By the time your life turns upside down for 7 consecutive years, your family members would start helping you beg.

tpapi:
let us assume a yearly tenant' rent expired on March 2019 and 4 months later he refused to pay or pack out and d landlord decides to disconnect water into his flat, is anything wrong wit the landlord's action, will like to hear your view

CORRECTIONS:


Seven days notice is the same as "Notice of Owners intention to proceed to Court to Recover Possession"! So you serve it once! You don't serve one after the other!

Secondly it is what is contained in the tenancy agreement that determine the number of months to be given as Notice to Quit! If the Agreement says 3months, you must give 3months; if it says one month, you must give one month; if the Agreement says Eight months, you must give Eight month!

So it is wrong for you to make a general statement that once there is an Agreement, the tenant is not entitled to any Notice to Quit, before being served Notice of Owners intention to proceed to Court to Recover Possession!

femilambor007:
Please, I want to verify this.

In a situation, a tenant needs to terminate its rent immediately due to relocation without notifying the landlord in 3months advance as the Law says and still have 5months rent left.

1. How many months refund is he due for from the Landlord or is he entitled to the full 5-month rent left.
2. ANy law backing the above answer.
U
Thanks in advance

Olatunjibaby:
Kindly advice in this matter.... My landlord increased the rent during the covid19 lockdown. My biz has bot been moving. My rent expired in August 2020. I wrote him of my intentions to quit the apartment since I cant meet up. I wrote in the letter that I will vacate the apartment on or before Jan 31st 2021. The landlord refused that I must pay for the months am staying. Pls what do I do. Thanks

NoToPile:


The truth is you have to pay whether you intend to quit or he gave you a letter to quit.

You can try begging him sha if that will work.

Bros abeg can I draw up an agreement that stipulate that a tenant will park out of my property after six months of being served a quit notice and he has no right to take me to court for forceful eviction either by him or a third party on his behalf.

NoToPile:


I don't have an idea of the no right to take to court part.

But which tenant would still want to sue a landlord after 6 months notice.

my tenant o... he has paid me since this year. ok I asked him to forgo the previous see ix months because of coro. now the second half the year, he's giving me story.
I plan to give him extra six months to pack out, but I'm secretly scared that he might fail to pack out. Then I will be stranded on what to do, besides I live far in a different state. and I know court process can be slow and I don't want to take law into my hand.
well about the non contest agreement, I'm thinking about it for subsiquent tenants my tenant o... he has paid me since this year. ok I asked him to forgo the previous see ix months because of coro. now the second half the year, he's giving me story.

This one weak me ooo, you let go of 6months rent and he still doesn't want to leave.

Eagba:
thing is, he understands me. he knows my work schedule won't give much time to travel and start dragging matters with him. so my fear is, if I give him the six months notice and he still doesn't leave , I might not have the time and strength to start dragging things with him, then I'll appear as an empty barrel with most noise and from time past, I normally forgive him some rents most especially when he's wife gave birth etc . anyway I know I'll pass this hurdle. I'm more interested in subsequent tenants, if I can have them sign a no contest agreement if forcefully thrown out after six months notice

NoToPile:


In all honesty I don't have an idea if the bolded is possible.

mfm04622 abeg help answer the question.
