Same thing happened to me in Port Harcourt, the Landlord based in Lagos kept speaking grammer, it was a structural problem, fixed what I could, then moved out, these landlords have no joy. |

[quote author=layzie post=91152981][/quote] If it's a room in a face to face, It's possible. Sheets of roof, the ceiling, and workmanship can equate almost a year rent. |

[quote author=veave post=91150362]Please call a carpenter to access the leakage. If it's something you can afford just do the patch and move on. Our people say it is where you live that you take care of. I'm all for treating a house you are renting like the house you built yourself. May God keep providing for you. [/quote Bless you 1 Like |

This carpenter na how? He wants to fix the whole thing and probably rezinc the house? A while year's rent? Just tell him to fix that particular spot where the rain water comes in and not fix the whole ceiling! Personally I will lay a complain with the nearest police post. Not that he be arrested but that when u deduct the amount from rent he would not intimidate u with police. Or go to a civil court so they be a file! That landlord is vile Mama4dworld: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Mama4dworld:if you can fix it do it and keep the receipt when is time to renew your rent deduct the money from it or when you call a Carpenter ask him how much is it to fix it and when is time to renew your rent you'll tell him this is the amount for fixing your roof and you'll be removing it from your annual rent. |

Write a letter to him and demand a refund of the unused balance of rent and thereafter look for another accommodation elsewhere to avoid unnecessary rancour. |

Fix it and possibly make a video when doing it. As you dey comot call carpenter to remove what you fixed. |

I am in this kind of this situation b4 with one useless landlord in Lagos, Guy don't waste ur time waiting for him to repair it for u, just do the repair urself , as the carpenter is doing the house work just keep doing the phone coverage and write down all ur expenses against ur next payment, then u deduct all ur money b4 u give the fool the remaining balance. |

Mama4dworld: Get a carpenter that will do the costing for the repairs. Send it to him via a registered mail and copy others in the house. Just for record purposes Call him a day after he must have received and acknowledge the receipt of your mail, to find out the way forward. Make sure other tenants are aware of the happenings. If he doesn't have money to fix your roof, you might need to fix it yourself and deduct the expenses from your next rent |

Note to self : If you're going to pack out to an apartment, do it during rainy season. |

Handle him well! |
| Re: How Do I Handle My Landlord?? by colestephan86: 3:28pm On Jun 29, 2020 |
Mama4dworld:Don't wait till your property get destroyed, fix it , but before you do take pictures or videos of how badly the roof leaks , and the conversation you had with him as regards the problem just as proof that you told him about it but refused to do anything. Then fix it and remove your money from his rent. I'm sure after you fix , he will tell you to share the cost don't ever accept that. |

The first question I will ask you is, how much is your yearly rent? I have said it before on this forum, when you pay cheap rent, its mostly difficult for your landlord to come to your rescue when you are experiencing glhuge repairs. Mine house also is leaking, my tenant has called me, I have fixed it twice and its still leaking, I have called another break layer and another carpenter that would make sure the problem is fixed permanently. This time I might be spending up to 30-40k. Mine rent is 500k, so even if I will spend 150k a year to repair a particular tenants apartment in a year, as a landlord that is not selfish, that's ohhk by me. But if they where paying 250k yearly, I swear the best I will do is, we share the costofr I pay 30 percent of the total cost. Where I leave, mine rent is 250k for a very big house. I have never called mine landlord for repair before, if they is repair, I just fix it. So bro, its either you pack out of the house or fix the roof if you know you are paying a cheap rent. Cheers. 4 Likes |
