Helpfromabove1:he should not pay for the repair until a proper account is given on the monthly contribution paid by each tenants, if the contribution was used for something worth while, then there is need for him to contribute, but if the landlord can't give a good account on how the money was spent, he should be made to repair the bore hole 1 Like |

My friend don't mind those castigating you and urging you pay. Every rent includes house maintenance fee. Maintenance charge is not same as utility charge. If before you packed in, there was water supply to the estate and you probably preferred that place because you were informed that there is water, the landlord has to keep providing it. The much you can do is to pay for fuelling the generator when there is no NEPA light. It is the landlord's responsibility to maintain his house, and its fittings. That's one of the reasons why you pay rent. If you continue to pay like that, one day, electric pole will fall and you will pay to replace it; fence will collapse and you will pay, gate will get old and you will pay. Landlord has that responsibility to provide the facilities and maintain them, while the tenant has the responsibility for settling the running cost (fuelling). 1 Like |

same issue happened in my house last week. the pumping machine packed up. Landlord got a new one and paid the guys, raking in a bill of 58k. each flat was levied 4k. that means, we will give the landlord a total sum of 20k, and he covered the rest. |

Helpfromabove1: I will try to answer your question without expressing arrogance. However, before I proceed, I think I have stated in a previous comment that it is important to read agreements before signing. If your Tenancy agreement stipulates certain conditions, you are obligated to comply with such agreement. Our argument on this thread is based on situations where there are no stipulated obligations between Landlord and Tenants and that area is blurred. In that circumstances, I shall proceed to answer your question Question 1 - In some houses, I don’t know the one you live in, before you open the light bulb casing, you must inform the Landlord or Estate management Company or their representatives. In fact, a mere escalation of the damage prompts them to send their service/maintenance manager to resolve or replace the light bulb. I know in the average houses in Nigeria, the tenant replaces the bulb. In fact, the tenant don’t even get to meet a bulb in the house before he/she occupies the house. So they buy a new one and replace them when damaged. Question 2 - Have you ever heard of Building insurance before? The Landlord is responsible to take our insurance for his/her building to mitigate these kind of risk. Also, have you ever heard of Tenancy/Content Insurance before? The Tenant is expected to take our an insurance to protect them of their own content (that is their own property). Some Landlords won’t rent or lease out to you if you don’t have this insurance. Some many ignore it. However, I know many houses, especially on the mainland don’t even have insurance and don’t encourage their tenant to have one. In fact, insurance is weird thing in Nigeria. Question 3 is a useless question, out of context and unrelated to the main topic. Nonetheless, to answer this useless question of yours - if the building has a comprehensive insurance, the insurance company will cater for incident cause by 3rd parties. However, if this is not cover, the perpetrator should repair the fence. I have onced lived in a house with a bad landlord and Shitty lease agreement. After our toxic relationship, which I made sure he suffered equally like he made me suffer, I promised myself never to ignore things. Read your lease agreement and where you are not clear, draw the attention of your landlord or their representatives to such matter. Also, know your rights and if you are not clear about your Tenancy rights, ask your lawyer. 2 Likes |

abnot: Please let them know what is applicable abroad. It’s so unfortunate that you are now suffering the “Nigerian situation”. However, there are houses on the Island that applies the same principles like those applicable abroad. Might be wise to move into such houses to avoid complications and unbearable conditions. 2 Likes |

Helpfromabove1:and sir, wen u used a bulb an example, the replacement of a bulb is ur reponsibility not a landlord' s, secondly the damage of gas explosion caused by a tenant, if the tenant had paid for damages before moving in, and what was damaged is between the amount paid for damages, the landlord does not need to collect extra money from the man except damages exceeds the amount then the tenant will balance up, or the damage fee covers just a couple of years and the incidence happened after the agreed year. thirdly, the car issues, if u bash a brrowed car, and u already made some deposit which is meabt to be refundable, whatever happens to dat car the money would be used to repair the damages. in dis case, the five hundred naira monthly shound be usex for the repair except it was used for something else. which must also be important |

Is it a serviced flat, if not the tenants should coordinates themselves and fixed or replace the pumping machine. A new pumping machine can not cost 25flats more than 1k each. The last price I bought a submersible pumping machine was 14k even with inflation. It can not be more than 20k. If is a serviced flat maintenance and repair will be done from the service fees being paid. If not the tenants should stop doing big men and coordinates themselves better. 1 Like |

sekundosekundo: Based on the plumber recommendation, we bought Atlas pumping machine, 1HP, 16k, he fixed the machine and helped us maintained some leaking tap and pipes in the compound for 3k. Total is 19K. DAB pumping machine 1HP is 25K. Original DAB 1HP made in Hungary is 32K. But the plumber said the Atlas would serve us well. We three tenants paid 4K each while our Landlord paid 7K making a total of 19K. |

ENEONWO: Please get inform Google the Lagos State tenancy law and read it Stop ignorantly giving him and other wrong advice that will create big problem, as for the gate and fence you mentioned if it collapsed due to natural disasters, wear and tear, low quality material e.t.c the landlord is liable , BUT IF IT COLLAPSED DUE TO HIS DIRECT ACTION eg: knock it with his car or the car of his friends e.t.c he is liable |

rayblings: The first that determines who pays is the agreement executed between you and the agreement. Where there is none to that effect, the next thing is the landlord and tenancy law of that state. In respective of those aforementioned, it both the landlord and tenancy that have the obligations to repair if the landlord lives in the house, where the landlord doesn't lives in the house it is the sole responsibility of the tenants |

Buy a pump for yourself and instal it. It is your property and an asset. When you eventually leave, take it with you. You lose nothing. They lose. There is nothing like liberty and it is something I always crave for. |

LKO:One of our source of problems here is that contracts terms are either shrouded, hardly spelt out or twisted to suit whoever. What is d #500 meant for? Is it Electricity consumption or Maintenance? But above all, May Almighty bless our hustle. This is d best advice; talking from experiences(learn to live in peace with Ur family while Tenants live under d supervision of Agents else U may not live long!!! |

Re: Landlord Or Tenants: Who Is To Fix Damaged Water Pump Machine? by aniete: 3:13pm On Apr 04, 2018 |
It all depends on what was written in the tenancy agreement. In some cases, the landlord is responsible for supplying water to the entire facility and if the pump develops a fault, he can fix it (some tenants may appreciate by giving whatever they have). #from experience. |
