Please I need your advice and that of any other lawyer in the house about my sister's ordeal with her landlord.

My sister moved into a house she rented in 2019.
According to her, that evening the landlord started disturbing her on phone to sleep with him which she refused. After much persuasion from the man and she refused, the man turned against her and it has been a war for her.
Note that the man collected 10k from her as agreement fee but never gave her any agreement paper to sign till date.

Even though she went with her boyfriend the day she paid the house rent, all of a sudden since this year, the man insisted that the guy won't pass the night in her house any longer.

My sister runs a POS point which she started recently, but the landlord insisted she will not stay where she got a space close to the house. His reason is that he is not in good term with the family living opposite her shop. Now he is even sending people and threatening to destroy the shop of the woman who gave my sister the space to stay.

Note that his wife also take her fruit to thesame woman's shop and he doesn't have a problem with that.

Now on Monday this week, my sister's boyfriend visited her house (not to sleep over). Around 7pm the landlord came to knock on her door and asked her to tell the guy to go that it's late. According to her, she flared up and had exchange of words with the landlord. The next day, the man returned the 6 months rent she paid him barely 3 weeks ago in the presence of my dad who went to visit her and asked her verbally to vacate his house in 7days.

Her boyfriend also came to see my dad in her house to discuss his coming to my family for my sister's marriage introduction rite, but when he was leaving, the landlord started warning him never to come to the house again till my sister vacates.

Now my sister has gone to report the matter to the police and he was been invited to come yesterday but he didn't honour the invitation yet.

My sister simply wants him to serve her a proper quit notice and give her 3 months to vacate the house not the verbal one week notice. She is also asking that he should stop harassing her, her boyfriend or the woman she is staying in her shop.

Please do you think my sister has taken the right steps or is there any other thing she should do?
Was the man right in asking her boyfriend not to come to the house again? . I really need your input on this. Thanks.

Note that she reported this matter to the man who claimed to be the lawyer in charge of the house, he promised to get back to her but stopped taking her calls afterwards before she went to the police.

Fact the landlord is a pevert

I'll advice you visit your sister with about 4 or 5 evil-looking guys. Make sure the landlord sees you and your guys.


That's an indirect warning to him. He may be thinking your sister got nobody.

See! wahala no good.. if your sister can vacate in that 7days she should just leave the house and enjoy her peace..

E get some trouble wey go come your way the best way to fight am na to avoid am..

Involve the police, let him write and sign an undertaking that he ll not harass your sister again and give her proper quit notice

Tell your sister to get a lawyer to officially write the lawyer and file a copy in the court and the nearest police station.
When will her present rent expire? Better to start looking for a new place.

He returned the rent she paid him. So she currently has not rent running. She is also looking for a house but needs time to get one.

Your sister has made too many mistakes.

Paid for agreement and don't have one.
Rent paid was returned and she collected it
The police is not a mediation centre for tenancy issue
The "lawyer" can't help if she goes to police.
A landlord has no right to determine who passes the night in a property, except it is abused to a large scale (20 people in a house), then he goes to court. Not knock on the door.
A landlord relationship with a 3rd or 4th or 5th party is not the business of the tenant. If the landlord keeps malice with anyone, its not the tenant responsibility to keep malice with him.
If a threat is made on life and property, go to the police to file a complaint. (It's evidenced)

By accepting the refund, he is in his right to give ultimatum.

Why does she want 3 months notice? How is/was the rent paid? Monthly, yearly, half year...

She should just move out.

Half year is the least payment she has ever paid which was what he returned.

I appreciate your input.
