Bright2: Thank you. A tenant that derives joy in cheating the Landlord from his sweat, should never expect to enjoy from his own sweat. Why stay in some one's property and manipulate for free stay.Would you be happy if that is done to you? Rubbish! |

Doyin2:You are fool. Where did i say the law stipulated free stay? The landlord had already entered into a year's agreement with the tenant. As such he's oblige to see the agreement through. You can't change the rules in the middle of the game. Who's going to refund him the 3 weeks he'd paid for but he's being asked to leave b4 the expiration of his yearly tenancy? I'm sure you're one of those sons of the callous landlords that think they can carry their houses to hell where they being. |

landlady sent quit notice to my sis through SMS, asking her to leave in one week. my sister rejected the SMS and ask for hard copy. she later send a letter without phone number and address and the letter was not handed over to the sales boy in the shop, she rather paste it on the door, should we honor it. rent expired Jan 20th 2021 and notice came first week of February. |

Tokskob2008: This rubbish talk. Six months quit notice does not imply six months free rent.Whether before or after rent expiration, it is legal.But if served after rent expiration,then the tenant must still pay for the extra six months. I put it to you that you are a bloody lair for telling us the police made the landlord to refund you. When did the police become a law court? Refund for giving you quit notice? Liar! Those who liked your liar comment probably do not pray to be landlords. 2 Likes |

Doyin2: You are fool. Where did i say the law stipulated free stay? Do you think quit notice can just be issued arbitrarily to tenant that's not owing? No valid reason was given in the notice - just quit. That can never stand in court. The landlord had already entered into a year's agreement with the tenant. As such he's oblige to see the agreement through. You can't change the rules in the middle of the game. Who's going to refund him the 3 weeks he'd paid for but he's being asked to leave b4 the expiration of his yearly tenancy?

Minjim: I think you are only confirming your illiteracy! The quit notice is given to coincide with the end of the tenancy agreement.Any other type of quite notice is null and void. If your tenancy agreement is January 2021 to December,2021,the Landlord can give you six months quit notice with effect from July 1,2021.The quit notice will stipulate that your tenancy ends in December 2021,and expected to leave by January 1 2022. This does not in any way affect or deprive you of money already paid. You will still enjoy your tenancy till December 2021. You are obviously a tenant. Pray to be a landlord and not to encourage people to use legal loopholes to frustrate someone's sweat! 5 Likes |

Are you owning him or her I advice tenants to pay up their rent even few days before it’s due you won’t know what landlords are going through until you build.cost of everything has gone up and any little delay in rent due can anger landlords because recovery amount spent on properties sometimes takes upto 20years not to talk of profiting from the property |

I struggle with understanding how these people think. Thank you for explaining it. If at the end of the lease agreement the tenant decides not to renew and move out, nobody will complain or ask him for anything (even though he is also supposed to give the landlord some days notice prior to the end date). Now the landlord is informing the tenant (6 months in advance) that upon the expiry of the current lease, he does not wish to extend or renew the lease. How is that difficult for anyone to understand. Additionally, I wish that good lawyers will start drafting a more informed lease agreement stating how the landlord and tenant can go about termination of lease agreement so there's no confusion whatsoever. Summary: The landlord has done the right thing to inform the tenant of his decision not to extend/renew the lease. Also the landlord gave him 6 months of notice so he can adequately prepare and search for other accommodation. Doyin2: 1 Like |

The Quit Notice is in order provided that: (a) you live in Lagos state; (b) you do not live in Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Apapa, or Ikeja GRA; (c) you do not live in a hospital, mental care facility , emergency shelter, hostel owned by educational institution; (d) you do not have a tenancy agreement or there is no nothing contrary in your tenancy agreement. Otherwise, it is invalid. The Notice expiration date is obviously a minor calculation error which can be corrected with oral/ written evidence. Advice: Show it to your lawyer. He knows what to do! xodyq: 1 Like |

Oyiboman69: My brother, there's nothing u can do about it. The law is what it is and not what u think it should b. The notice(6 months notice) is legal,however emotional u may feel, it doesn't change d position of d law. He should b thankful that d landlord is yet to served him d requisite notices-7 days notice, which I believe it's in d offing. That's d position of d law so it's legal. |

jamjo: Ok let's day there was an error in the dates which is negligible however the point here is the notice to quit was well served. Too many hungry and desperate tenants believe they deserve 6 months free in a month they didn't contribute a tipper of sand or even one building block. Anyone who tries that with me will sleep in a house with no windows or even a roof. |

Leave the idiots alone, Many Nigerians are animals looking for free tenancy and who to defraud. When my rent expired in Lagos, I had already mostly packed out 2 weeks before the last day and just used the last day to hand over the keys to the landlord. Landlords who involve Nigerian police and courts are FOOLS. All they have to do is hire boys and throw expired tenants out. The tenants should now go to court .... Animals looking to live where they don't want to pay for. 9jaRealist: |

BabaIjebuXL:A lot of people think this is the norm. But the truth is,the law is explicit on it. Your landlord only owes you six months in terms of notice. No more ,no less. Whether the notice is coming before the expiration or after or overlapping. All that is required is a 6 months notice. The law does not support that you owe your landlord one dime. If your landlord gives you a six months notice after the expiration of your rent, he can sue you to pay for the extra six months and will win. 1 Like |

Doyin2: You better keep quiet and stop exposing you ignorance. The quit notice has a deficit of 3 weeks. How does that coincide with the end of his yearly agreement? So the 3 weeks doesn't count in ur Shylock book? I can see you definitely a landlord's prodigal son that has never paid for rent before. If not, you wouldn't overlook 3 whole weeks! Ops! That trash can't stand in any court. Especially when you don't owe any rent or default in the agreement. https://nigeriapropertycentre.com/blog/renting-letting/the-lagos-tenancy-law-in-detail

Re: My Landlord Gave Me 6months Quit Notice When My Rent Will Due In 6months Time by lawadvisorng: 6:20pm On Mar 09, 2021 |
With due respect sir. The applicable law and its interpretation depends on the Tenancy and Rent Recovery laws of the state the OP resides. Your position is alright if the OP were to reside in south west states other than Lagos. This definition does not however apply to the extant Tenancy laws of Lagos State which stipulates that the Notice expiration date can be at anytime after the Tenancy expiration but not before (Section 13 (14)). So, this Notice is validly issued, ceteris paribus, if the OP resides in Lagos considering that 6 months from March 8 is actually September 7 while the Tenancy itself expires August 8. It is therefore NOT defective. Shalom! lawyer: |
