SpicyMimi:leave those illiterates to be swaying and deceiving the op. The same them will abadon app when it goes from bad to worse. I remember my face me i slap u days. I simply left my load inside the two rooms locked it and left threw away my sim. After 6months i put my sim back and old man called me crying, he knew i had the money but didn't want to pay for all the treatments they gave me in that house. I don't blame some tenant ls that refuse to pay most of them are simply angry. How hard can it be to be nice to a tenant or before u became a landlord were u not once a tenant? |

richidinho: Did you breach any agreement you had with the tenants by failing to provide anything you promised to provide while his rent was not expired? There was a case in a compound i lived in the past, our landlord increased our rent and he promised to fix tiles in the rooms and do some little renovations. He renovated for few tenants and didn't renovate or put tiles for other tenants despite collection the new rent. Some of the tenants felt cheated and decided to deal with him. They refused to move out when their rents were due. The compound uses a prepaid meter and the landlord recharges 35k monthly for the electricity bills, when the aggrieved tenants refused to pay their rents after it expired the landlord stopped buying the 35k monthly light token. This made the remaining tenants that were paying their rents to be angry. The compound is being managed by a lawyer who happens to be the secretary of the NBA of that local govt chapter. The lawyer couldn't do much cos we kept reminding him that he and my former landlord we he represents were at fault. People ended up staying a year or two free. Some of us paid but deducted what we paid to recharge the prepaid meter before giving him the little that was left. I told him that i don't owe rents because we also have tenants back in my home state. But no landlord will cheat me of my money. Worst case is i deduct what you owe or cost of service you are supposed to render from the next rent i am to pay. |

Contact a lawyer for a legal advice!!! Don't take laws into your hand by kicking the tenant out without a legal backing. |

Please do not try to take the laws into your hands by evicting the tenant forcefully, the tenant might in the future claim damages in court for forceful ejection and stolen properties. You can evict the tenant only by a court order and to do so you have to issue the required statutory notices and proceed to court for eviction. Please refer to the tenancy laws of your location (normally sold in the courts within your jurisdiction) if you want to represent yourself in court, or issue a power of attorney or a letter of authorization to a lawyer to evict the tenant on your behalf.(legal fees applies in this case) Cheers and happy eviction.[color=#990000][/color] |

Chudivictor: It depends on the nature of the case and other factors too numerous to mention. Unfortunately in Nigeria because of the humongous caseload a single judge has on his docket it takes time for cases to be dispatched averagely 2years but tenancy cases are quite easy to handle especially if a lawyer that knows his onions was involved in managing the tenants from beginning |

Etuglucy: Chairman you are perpetrating an illegal case. The law is that only an officer of the court can institute an action in court in Nigeria. For a case to be properly instituted you must file an action and the motion,writ or originating processes must have a lawyer's seal. Did your case have it? I am sure it did. But it was illegally procured. Keep on being smart. It will backfire on you one day. You will then realise the importance of lawyers. |

Get a court injunction and report to the nearest police station, so they'll mobilize armed policemen to accompany you to the said property. that's if u want to remove their property from the apartment. Please, don't use thugs, don't do it on your own. involve the law enforcement agents to avoid stories that touches the heart. 1 Like |

https://www.nairaland.com/5590755/tenant-refuses-vacate-apartment-after Our tenant Mr Chigozie Okongwu James has refused to vacate our apartment for close to two years now! He was given a quit notice since February 2019 at the Lagos Mediation Centre. His house rent had expired before he was given the quit notice. Up till now, he has refused to leave the house! This December 2020! Lagos State needs to do something about stubborn tenants like this man. This is one of the things causing crises in the society. When cases like this degenerate into violence, Lagos State would want to absolve itself from the crisis. Lagos State needs to be more proactive to avoid breakdown of law and order. 1 Like |

Chudivictor: A person is foreclosed when he fails to make appearance to do that which is required of him by law. For instance, after examining a witness in chief (when u as the claimant in a civil suit for instance examines your witness), the next thing is cross-examination (when the other party, a defendant examamines ur own witness) but in a circumstance where the defendants are not available to cross examine ur witness and have not shown reasons why they are not always available to do so, what ur lawyer would ordinary do is to foreclose them from further cross examining the witness so you can proceed with the matter coz the matter can't come to a stand still due to their negligence. The Court would ordinarily grant the order immediately except in a situation where the other party have been appearing but where for some reasons not available to cross examine your witness that particular day, in which case the Court will adjourn to another day to enable them do so. But if they have not been appearing the order will be granted. On the issue of time judgement will be delivered, it has a lot to so with the he skills of the lawyer involved, with regards to ensuring that shorter adjournment dates are given. However, whatever if the case lingers for a year and the said tenant is still in possession, be assured that he will certainly pay for the rent of the said period he has been in posession while the matter is pending before the Court. Sorry for the late response. I have be engaged. Pls feel free to ask any further question. Thank you |
