Your rent expires 17/03/2020 and he is correct and there is more to this. That’s exactly 12month

Alvin007:

I wouldn't wanna insult you...instead, I'd reiterate my stand on this issue..in my earlier posts...I made mention of the rationale for such calculations and I stated an old statute not limited to Nigeria alone...most Tenancy agreements that are meant to exceed a year, require some sorta registrations, seal, stamping and a charge...this means the Landlord is expected to pay a percentage...
So, some Tenancy agreements would intentionally hide under this 11months calculation so as to evade paying such charges..that's why some use the 11 months calculation..If your wanna register your tenancy agreement as a tenant...you can do it, but some landlords will not want it coz it means they have to pay the percentage charge..Hence, they hide under the 11 months calculation...making it seem like they are leasing out the said property for just 11months. If the tenant decides to continue living in the house...obviously, a fresh tenancy agreement isn't necessary. Hence, they calculate it on 12 months basis thereafter...so, no agreement needs to be registered..
I'm simply tryna let you know WHY the 11months initial calculations come into play.
The OP and his/her landlord know what kinda agreements they entered into..there are so many clauses there, that might prolly vitate both parties' stand. Until, we see such agreements..I can only explain the reason why it's being calculated in that manner.
After this...abeg no mention me again. Thanks.

With due respect to your personality. I would in the interest of posterity urge you never to speak on any subject matter of law whether of the Nigerian legal system or even that of any country that may have gone extinct.

What you wrote up there would cause any dead legal luminary you know to rise up again and haunt you.

What!!!!
You are obviously not a lawyer and if you claim to be one I would like to know if you attended classes or you slept throughout.

Please Amigos.Take my words for it.Stick to selling cars copish?

ariefadenco:


It is evident that there is no tenancy agreement otherwise parties will not be in dispute on the date of commencement.
It can thus be deduced that the tenancy is one of a yearly tenancy and not a fixed term.

Alvin007:

Typical Nigerian mentality....instead of conducting extensive research, you bother more on throwing tantrums..don't limit your brain to what you stayed awake listening to in class..
Ps: I've got Masters in international law and diplomacy, as well as Social work.
Car sales is a side hustle. Cheers

According to some people's calculation
18/4/2019 - 17/3/2020 =1year
That means his next rent will be
17/3/2020 - 16/2/2021
And next one
16/2/2021 - 15/1/2022
Clearly the landlord is wrong.

BarrElChapo:


He very much can evict the tenant without the statutory six months notice.

einsteine:


Go and try it in Lagos.

The court bailiffs would make a summary auction of your belongings.

If it was free, you think people would be changing houses.

Let me just leave you to be ignorant.

femi4:
18/04/2019-18/05/2019.....1month
18/05/2019-18/06/2019.....2months

Count like that

18/02/2020-18/03/2020.......12months

Vortex369:


Why is it so confusing?

January 1 to December 31 is 12 months aka 1yr.

If your rent begins January 1, it expires December 31 not January 31.

LaExpert:

How about if the rent begins on January 20, when will it expire?

I believe you guys are trolling the thread. Afew of my tenants are teachers and one is an accountant. It took me less than five minutes to explain it also to the policeman among them who holds a WASC certificate so supposedly erudite nairalanders should not be this confused

According to whose calculation?
Where is the calculation?

Olodo! Why haven't you been celebrating your birthday one month earlier. Fool.

My Landlord Is Intimidating Me And Wants To Evict Me Before My Rent Expires

I paid my house rent for one full year on 18/04/2019. My rent is due to expire on 17/04/2020.

But my Landlord is insisting it expired on 17/03/2020. Which is Eleven months. I have tried explaining to him but he wants to lock me out unless I pay immediately.

Please how do I get redress.

bhmw:

You started your counting from 18/05/19, instead of 18/04/19.
NB: Please don't refer to someone you don't know as 'this one'.
Instead say, what do you mean (politely). Thanks. (my last comment on this topic).

MelesZanawi:
For those calculating nonsense, you are an annual tenant. Meaning your rent is for 365 days. Calculate 365 days from 18/4 and you have 17/4. If yur rent started in 1/4, it would expire in 31/3. get a lawyer to write you formally and then get a lawyer to reply him. If you don't cure his madness now, he would bring up another scheme to fleece you next time.
