when last did your landlord touch the rent before you start claiming it's unfair. Just 10k? that one no be increase now....

It would have been fair if he cared about the welfare of the people living on his property, but he doesn't, he only cares about money. Sometime this year, we had to stay without water for close to 3 days because they couldn't fix a simple broken pipe. In fact, I mobilized some people and we put together to repair the pipe. Should the tenants be the ones repairing a landlord's property for him when we were not the ones that damaged it in the first place.

10k may be small but when someone just comes from nowhere and asks you to pay an extra 10k when you already budgeted for the former amount, then it is not funny.

Nigeria: The country where landlord see themselves as gods!


You also forget to mention that some tenants also behaves like Al Capone, owe you 5 years rents yet parades themselves on social media as the owners of the house. Redecorate and reconstruct your house without approval!

Ibo people are the waste in this category! Never will I ever admit any ibo man or woman or by relation to my house again.
Don't be quick to blame the landlord. Do you know what the rate of land Use Charges are currently?

Well That's his responsiblity, although some if these tenants can misuse the privilege that a landlord is taking care of his house. They even expect a landlord to come and repair the sink they use inside their kitchen because he has maintenance attitude smiley

Do tenants pay for service charges? I guess not, so if a landlord should repair stuffs like that, its out of his good will.

Over here rents increase in 50k ,100,150k + for flats.

It is almost impossible to change the mind of your landlord if he wishes to increase his house rent so negotiation is out of it

Human beings value money like they value their lives, some even value money more than their lives

How can you negotiate rent with a landlord when you are known to delay rent payment.

Some people pay their rent 6minths after when its over due, how do you think that helps in negotiating?


Moving out? I will be happy if some tenants move out because it gives me ample opportunity to re arrange the house and put it a higher rent!

Sometimes its hard to raise rent prices simply because so so tenant is an Old client in the compound, so if you wan move out na to my advantage ! smiley

More so, as a wise landlord when tenants pay their rent, you send them a sound warning that next year rent will be increased so they either prepare for next year or be ready to pack out

#Cunny man die, cunny man bury am smiley

The word is 'cunning'.... Olodo entitled landlord.

Number one is rubbish. Tell the landlord to allow you think about it. Think about what? It's his house. Your opinion doesn't count

I'll think about it is the beginning of negotiation. Intact the Op did a good job following it closely with option 2.

That alone would make a landlord think a faithful tenant is about leaving his property.

Getting a notice of house rent increment from your landlord is obviously one of the worst ways to start a day. As a matter of fact, you will be so frustrating that you tend to transfer aggression on anybody. God save madam if she dares ask of money that day.

Sadly, this is the reality people are facing in Nigeria today. As you read this article, someone just got a house rent increment notice. The most painful part of this is the fact that most people don’t have a clue about what to do when they receive this notice.

Therefore, in this article, you will learn the 3 things to do when landlord increases your house rent.

Things To Do When Landlord Increases Your House Rent


#1. Tell The Landlord To Give You Time To Think About It


One of the things to do when landlord increases your house rent is to request for time to think about it. You don’t need to make an impulse decision as to whether you will continue to stay in the house or not. Rather think about it thoroughly.

As a matter of fact, you need to match your current expenses with your income and see the likely effect the proposed increment will have on your financial health. The decision you will make will be based on your analysis of your financial strength.

#2. Negotiate If Possible

You can have a heart to heart conversation with your landlord. Negotiate with him passionately and if possible let them know that you may have no option but to leave the house.

If you have a good record of paying your rent as at when due, he may want to keep you. Therefore, he may likely reduce the new price for you a little.

#3. Moving Out

Moving out is one of the things to do when landlord increases your house rent. However, it is advisable to see moving out as last resort. In fact, you have to consider moving out after exhausting all other options.

Some of the conditions that will make you leave your apartment after an increment notice are;

-When you can’t afford the proposed increment
-The landlord doesn’t pay attention to tenants complaints in the compound
-Common areas or amenities are not maintained
-Your neighbors are paying less down what you are paying in the same compound and house size

If you are shouting sai baba here, but haven't made enough money from BMC to build your own house, then you are a Useful Idiot.

Aisha buhari carries expensive bags, wear expensive watches costing millions of naira


Yusuf buhari bought powerbike costing million of naira

Buhari's Minister of communication has suddenly become stinkingly rich,

But here you are defending them on an empty stomach and as a hopeless tenant.

Do you really need anyone to tell you that you are a Useful Idiot?

If you are shouting Atikuloot and you don't own your own mansion from 1999 to 2015 before Buhari came on board,then your are a uselful basterd.

Because Atiku owns almost 150 houses and even abandon one in US.

His kids are all abroad.

Atiku has a private jet.

Atiku also bribed delegates with about 3 million each.

mumu you wey Atiku and other PDP rogue stalwarts don build house for , give contract to, and empowered for life can't you just prove to us here the extent of your present wealth status just like the millions of Nigerians that PDP had changed their lives for good during its 16 years. Maybe we would stop being patriotic and start hero worshipping your highness, ekuke and by extension the Poverty Development Party - the noble club that lifted you and your family out of poverty. useless talker like you.
Maybe you think we are here to joke. Any contrary opinion to their stewpid expletives , they label you BMC. mtchew.

This is what I always did. I'd always been a good tenant that would take the house and its environs as mine. Even attend CDAs meeting on my own just to mingle, get updated with the going-ons in the area, and watch out for opportunities such as land, coop, etc.

1. I'd protest a little asking him to consider the economy.
2. If he was adamant, i'd insist on 6 months grace.
3. Then I would be on the look-out for a better house with better facilities in the same area, even next house, for the same increased rent amount or lower.
3. If not found, I'd start considering other parts of the town I'd found interesting, but not far from workplace, and with prospective.

Bottom line: i tried to get better option for the same amount or less.
