It's the landlord. It's the owner of the property that pays for such. Must you reside there? Go elsewhere man. 165 Likes 9 Shares |

It's the responsibility of the landlord, but tenants can pay tenement rates subject to indemnity from their landlords as occupiers. 10 Likes |

The Tenement rate is a tax on the occupation of property not the ownership of property. You may own a property and not live there, so the responsibility to pay the Tenement Rate then becomes that of the tenant. However, if the property is owner-occupied then the landlord/owner pays the Tenement Rate. The Tenement Rate is a critical source of revenue for Local Governments. However in Lagos, the State Government usurped the powers of the LGAs to demand and collect Tenement Rates, by promulgating the Land Use Charge through it’s House of Assembly. So the Tenement rate, Ground rent and Neighborhood Improvement Charge were all fused together to become the Land Use Charge (to the chagrin of the LGAs) and landlords became primarily responsible for it’s payment, not tenants. In other words, the LUC became a tax on the ownership of property. Now there are so many properties in Lagos that have not yet been enumerated or captured in the LUC database, so they are currently not being assessed yet for LUC payment. Properties in this category are most likely still being assessed for the old Tenement Rate, so tenant(s) or whoever is in occupation is still expected to pay the Tenement Rate into the coffers of their Local Government Area. 68 Likes 5 Shares |

Here’s my insight: It depends on what you’re renting. If you’re renting a an apartment (e.g 2 bedroom), then it is NOT your responsibility to pay any tenement rate, HOA and tax fees. If you’re renting a whole house (a single property on a single land), then all the fees associated with the house falls on you However, I have multiple properties that incurs millions in taxes every month. I average them out and just include it in the rent so that way, the tenant does not even know that they’re paying taxes. So, if your landlord is making it clear that you’ll be paying taxes, then ensure that the rent is below market rent. That way, you know that taxes was not added to it already. 91 Likes 7 Shares |

momove4real25: occupier could either be the landlord or a tenant so write in clear terms. land use act - Land owner tenement rate - usually factored into rent in most cases. It is similar to how VAT is factored into purchases. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Landlord pays for all those except utilities bill that will be used by you. He is the owner of the property. Don’t let them put all the responsibilities on you because you want to live in their house. I will advice you look for another house because in the long run that lawyer and the landlord will give you serious issue. 5 Likes |
