I notices majorities commenting on this topic don't understand how things work btw Land lord and tenant most especially in a state like Lagos . You don't threaten tenant or assault them physically because of rent because if you do oboy na jail and the court won't take it likely with you

EASYGURU:
First thing you do is arrange a carpenter, arrange with one bricklayer arrange with one iron bender there after, very early in the morning one day go to the house with the carpenter to remove all mosquito net instruct the carpenter to remove all the doors in the house instruct the person in charge of alumaco to remove all the sliding windows instruct the iron bender to remove all the burglary proof instruct a painter to scratch the wall and start repairing the house and see if he or she won't leave your house also instruct an electrician to rewire the whole house by removing the whole wire.

Boiled egg, palm oil, black calabash.. ..

That's your solution

SocialJustice:
If the property is yours. Try creating a business name then sell the property to the business. Acting through your business name now, give a fresh quit notice.

Learn all the mistakes that has made this case last 3 years in court and correct them with the new notice. Consult a lawyer on this option.

Mylovelife:


Dont you think they can move out before the court finalizes everything thereby not paying for past years.

meum:
Remove the roof. Call it renovation.

Jaqenhghar:

The annoying thing is how much are the landlords making. People think because you are a landlord you are swimming in money. The one million naira rent tenants think is one huge money wont even foot the bill of a thorough rennovation. Many landlords dont get anything. That's why they sell the property off after awhile

The problem is not the Judgement, the problem is the execution. If they tell the court they don’t have money will the court kill them?

lympy:
Except your lawyer doesn't know what he or she is doing, it takes 6-8 months to see such cases through to judgement at most one year. Even if the case prolongs, if judgement is in your favour, tenant should be made to pay mense profit also giving you powers to serve notice and eject. Have right to auction any property you find during ejection to recover your rent.

mistijude:
Is this how you guys are given out your property free of charge all in the name of judicial system? Tenants are something else these days.If you give them chance,they will become your landlord and turn you to tenant in your own house.As big as my father had house is,even though he don't stay at home,we refused to rent it out because of all these crazy tenants.

dhejykeane:
Lagos state mediation dont allow this much nonsense if you use their lawyers and follow the right process, they would be given a notice duration and if tenant refuses to leave their property would be evicted and tenant would need to bail his belongings at their office

emmabest2000:
Help the first trouble tenant pay for a new cheap house somewhere else secretly

Imustreturn:
Go to any local government in Lagos and ask for the office where they complain about tenant and landlord. If possible go to the LGA at ikotun.
2 weeks them go park out

positivelord:



continue with the legal process...I can assure you they are NOT staying there free...they will still pay for every single day they spent while the case
is on, trust me...you guys just need a GOOD lawyer

Toyeen85:
All this wicked Lagos tenants that is how one idiot stayed in our house for 4 years without paying a kobo, may God punish him wherever he is.

alabo1:


Yes after the judgement you will be able to evict them legally by force if need be. Collecting your arrears is another story altogether.

emmanuelpopson:


i tell u.. d case going to court was a big mistake.. he could have used the Lagos state mediation center or the humans right department of the police.. these two will handle the erring tenants and there rents and months given will not lapse a day before they move out..
im a living witness of this scenario. my late dads house tenants were stubborn but these people handled them squarely..

Justcome:
I will make this as short as possible

There is this tenant that we gave quit notice since 2018 because of inability to pay the house rent. Up till now he has not moved out, we handled the case legally and its still in court till now.

This is the 3rd year that the man and his family have stayed without paying 1 naira because of our poor judicial system, we are still hoping the court will eject them this year.

Now there is another tenant that is very close to the man's wife, she did not pay 2019 rent and she was given quit notice 6 months ago to leave before December 31st, up till now, nothing has happened, we think she wants us to open a legal case so that she can stay for some more years free of charge like her friend.

Please what can we do concerning the two tenant situations?

The house is situated in Lagos. Ayobo area to be specific

AshipaEk0:


Start investigation about their personal information, where they work, where they have bank accounts etc.

They aren't staying rent free, contrary to the general idea most people have. When you eventually get the judgement, go hard against them to execute it, get every penny.

Better still if they have movable things like cars, go against those too, not so much for the money but to drive home the point they are not wise.

Employ a lawyer or firm that's willing to do this execution for you to your specifications. Even some court sheriffs will do it for you. Na money.


Meanwhile, there's ways to make the place uncomfortable for them sha, e just depend on how much craze you get. Too easy sef. If you know, you know.

Perfecttouchade:
all these wicked tenants Sha, they know our law system when it comes to things like this ain't effective... disconnect their electricity first, the only problem there is that nothing concern NEPA, except you are using prepaid, disconnect their water supply as well..they have over stayed sef try this out and see how long they can go without these things

I thought a proper tenancy agreement will take care of issues like this. I don't see why someone can stay 6 months for free, if a proper agreement is in place
