My landlord said my 1 year rent expired 20th June 2020, when I paid 20th July 2019.

But in my Fathers house, our tenant rent expired by date of 30 days. Example if they paid 1 year rent, 16th of January 2020 then it will expired 15th of January 2021.

Even in my previous rented house in Benin it was so. But I move in to south east and here the landlord is telling me another thing entirely and I didn't have The time to argued with him because I needed the house so urgent and was desperate to move in at the time. But only now i'm looking into the receipt. Is this how its done by law.?

I need help

Probably because you paid on 20th so he counted that month as one month instead of counting from August ...Now, he wants you to know that the from July ,u'd start another payment and that your money expires in June

I don't think thats a serious issue, sit with him and explain to him, Annual rent is a period of 12 months i.e 01/01/2019 - 31/12/2019 (12 months) or as in your case, 20/07/2019 - 19/07/2020 (12 months).

Your landlord probably needs money hence his error in the computation. Just reason and enlighten him/her.

So in your mind, the landlord does not know what he is doing.

@op, pay him in full on the right date. If he insist on his date, pay him half and balance it after two months.

Some landlords don't appreciate good tenants

I was telling him the day he wrote the receipt. But he was arguing. So I don't want to be seen like a troublesome tenants since I am just coming in. So I let it go by maturity. I don't know if this is how its done in the south east. Enugu to be precise.

He is correct, July to July is 13 months, July to June is actually correct

Your assumption is wrong.

Goin by the dates you wrote, your rent is yet to expire except you wrote the dates in error.

This landlord and tenant wahala for this 2020, make everybody hustle o make you sef be landlord

not in error

This is very simple now, January to December is 1 year, how can July to July be 1 year? July to June is actually 1 year, so your landlord is 200% correct sir

MadeBoy:
not in error

Go through your earlier comments and title of the thread again. Are we already in June 20, 2020?
