people go through hell to pack the 2years rent and give to the inconsiderate landlords.many borrow,steal,beg,to gather this money and afterwards live in penury in those apartment because we have government that are not sensitive to the plight of their citizens.may God help us all

dobodobo:

It is worst and worsen most in LAGOS STATE but I think government should try to put this under control.it is stupidity of Nigeria government not to take proper measures of reducing pressures on their citizen since even the money we work hard with belong to the government because when torn the government will not say you tear the money you work for,it is government money, the LAND belong to govt too because no body brings land from HEAVEN. the govt can make a law that no agent or landlord should collect more than 3 months,people will only complain for few days but we accept the law

At times the house is not even good and they still want to collect 2years rent with lots of commission.We need government to build more houses so that people will have alternative to this rubish.

Been a tenant is an experience. I own a house and i collect one year Rent. i decised to collect one yr rent because i understand the situation pple find themselve when looking for house. The irony of the whole issue is that. my tenants whom i collect one year rent finds it so difficult to even pay their rent. most landlord decide to collect 2yrs rent cos they don,t want to ask the tenants for rent after yr one which gives the tenant enough time to safe towards their rent. what is uppermost is living in a nice and peaceful environment.

omega25red:

well definately the government is to blame because as a landlord would you want to be chasing after a tenant every month for rent money? Im not sure what the job situation is in nigerihttp://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=post;topic=467741.0;num_replies=17#topa but from what i have read here on NL it seems bad. As a landlord it will be economical to you to get the money upfront so that if the person loose their job they will not become a liabilty. In the western countries you should see what landlords have to deal with. when someone cant pay rent, they have to go to court to ask that the person leave and if the judge says no, that landlord would have to just grine and bear it.

anyway blame the govt for not creating and maintaining jobs and helping businesses to grow which in turn will create more jobs and allow people to have a steady income which in turn would ease the minds of the landlords and they wouldn't have to charge money in advance.
