What is Your Worst Experience with a Tenant?

As there are terrible experiences with landlords there are also terrible experiences with tenants. Today i will like to share a worst experience with a tenant.


My dad happens to be a landlord so we have met alot of tenants.
There was a stubborn tenant that rented a 3 bedroom flat worth 300k. He told my dad he will pay 250k now when he has the remaining he will pay. Thats when the notoreity started. The tenant refused to pay the 50k, despite my dad constant reminder.

When his rent expires he said he will soon pay that he needs more time, that he wants to pay everything at once. The next time my dad ask him, he said he is in financial crises all this was while i was in school. When i came back for end of semester break i still heard that the man hasn't paid his rent. I began pressuring my dad to collect this rent, the tenant has spent over 5months without paying a dime. My dad said the man lost his uncle and went for burial recently. Thats when i realize he has been given excuse to my dad for a very long time.


After sometimes i told my dad not to allow the man stay one more month without paying. My dad threaten to bring the police and take him to court. The man blocked my dad number, then my dad called him with another number when he picked and discover it was my dad he claim he didnt see my dad's initial call that he was sick. The man then switched off his phone.


We decided to go to meet the man together with a lawyer but he was not around. I placed a 2month notice and that he must pay for the months he has stayed in the house. After a week the man called with a new number pleading that he should not be evicted. He asked for my dad's account number so that he will pay. The man send 50k only. My dad told him he just completed his last year rent and will have to pay for the current year. The man refused. After the two months my dad changed the door lock thereby preventing him from getting inside even though his stuffs are inside.


After a month, a woman from the Neighborhood told my dad that the man we evicted is still living in the house. He usually comes in late at around 11-12pm and goes out around 7am. The next day we arrived there few minutes past 6 but the man has already gone. We discover that he changed the lock to the house. We end up confiscating all his properties and emptied his room. Till today he is yet to be found.

I have others stories about other tenants but i will love to hear your story. Over to you.

What is your worst experience with a tenant?

One of our tenant has been refusing to pay money for rent. When we disturbed him too much, he said he will pay the money. After two days he said they lost 1 of their relatives and going for burial so they left the house. Little did we know that it was all a plan. He made his Wife and children to stay in her parents home. Meanwhile he usually sneak back in the night to come and stay in his room and then woke up early morning and leave. We later Caught him after some weeks. He promise to pay the money and even brought witness to sign an agreement. But he still ran away and refuse to pay the money.

OP, you are an amateur. Your dad probably have experienced life as a tenant hence his hesitation

Only in Nigeria where the government claim to be serving the people will minimum wage be N30,000 per month and rents N250,000-N500,000 without soft loans to ease the stress of the people

Buba Marwa, Fashola really tried to save the masses from, the çluches of crazy landlord bills

Now there's no job, where other countries are giving out huge palliative, Nigerians are expected to pay bills, from what

Them go steal

I wish this government will wake up from their slumber and re-visit this issue!!!

These are issues/laws worth giving attention to!!!
