In view of the spate of building collapse in Lagos State and the attendant fatalities, loss of properties, bad reputations, setbacks amongst other things, the Lagos State Government through Lagos State Building Control Agency is making efforts to stem the tide.


The State Government has recently employed the services of about 350 professionals including engineers, architects, builders etc to extend the dragnet of monitoring illegal developments.

Another effort the State Government is exploring is that of "WHISTLE-BLOWING". In the spirit of ensuring a safer Lagos, LASBCA will appreciate your partnership with the Lagos State Government by whistle-blowing to tell us the On-going developments as well as distressed buildings in your area.

Your cooperation will be most appreciated.

I just Hope you won't be offended with my position but if you like the house and the environment, you guys can organize yourselves and sort it out. If you check the cost of moving house including agency and agreement,you might be better off sorting it out

quote author=Sill001 post=104879839]Pls help, how can I report my landlord to the Lagos State government as soon as possible?

Location is Ikotun.

I'm just tired of wicked Lagos landlords.

I paid close to N200,000 for the house, but later discovered that all the water used in bathing in the bathroom does not flow out, no drainage. The water is being soaked by the wall. The walls are soaked. My properties are spoiling already because of the too much dampness of the walls and floor. 

He promised to do it but he will never do it, because I discovered that's his usual style, to collect money and disappear. All the tenants are tired of his wickedness. 

The dangerous thing here is that the whole house is a duplex and it's upstairs (decking) with many flats upstairs but I stay downstairs, so it's very very dangerous for me because of the walls in my room soaking water continuously, which can collapse anytime. All the bath water and washing water goes to the foundation of the building. No draining. It's a very risky place I'm staying and with likelihood of collapse any moment. 

Not only that, the outstanding NEPA bill I later discovered for the whole house is currently over N200,000. He refused to sort it out and we have been paying for the old bill which we never used, yet our light would trip off within 3 days even after paying a lot of money, up to 15k or 20k at times, because of the outstanding bill. 

For the drainage, which is my major concern, he kept delaying and giving excuses and promises for the past four months I packed in, but when he ran out of lies, he just told me yesterday on the phone that he will never do the drainage. And during inspection, this kind of thing is not possible to detect it because it's not possible for you to bath and see whether water is flowing through the drainage during house inspection. 

He even boasted that he will never do it and that I should do my worst. Very wicked and irresponsible old man. 

Pls how can I report him to the Lagos State government? To avoid building collapse. To compel him to do it because of the safety of my life.

Pls help. Thanks.

Go to the LG Hq in charge of your area and report this matter to the Head Sanitary Department they'll send sanitary inspectors to investigate and assess the situation After that the Occupiers/Landlord will be compelled to provide the stipulated features in the property When he disobeys this order the Lagos State Government will commence a criminal proceedings against the Occupiers/landlord at a special tribunal created for issues like this at the state secretariat Alausa Ikeja At this time the property may be sealed temporarily until compliance is effected

Young man, it is not every time that you want to fight for your right either in this clime or any other one. You live on the ground floor of the building, have you called a plumber and a bricklayer to figure out what the workable solutions are ? My gut feeling tells me this is a challenge that can be solved with between N15k to N25k. You only need to dig the ground, buy new 2" PVC pipes that costs less than N1k per length and install them to drain the water to the right place.

Except if the buidling has sunk and your bathroom is now below the outside ground level....in that case, you probably need to raise the bathtub/shower cubicle to address the problem.

If you think this does not make sense to spend the money out of your pocket, sit down again and calculate the costs of moving to another accomodation or getting a lawyer and LASG to force the landlord to fix it.

By the time you are done with this mini project and gained some experience in building maintenance, your mind will be tuned to executing a building project and have a home of your own. Trust me, when you ultimately have your own home, you will still forever be fixing issues like this every now and then.

In the mid 90s, I once lived in Ipaja in a rented house and the electricity supply to the area was very poor due to an overloaded electricity transformer. I was able to identify the problem and since NEPA would not bulge, I mobilised the immediate community affected to contribute N500,000 to buy a transformer instead of claiming our right to get NEPA to do it in a timely manner. Our electrical/electronic gadgets were getting damaged on a regular basis and instead of spending money to repair them, I convinced them to see the logic in channelling the money to procure the transformer.

A few years later, after I have facilitated the transformer procurement, I completed my own house at another location. When I announced to my neighbours that I was leaving, I saw teary eyes because due to my deep involvement in the CDA to mobilise people to develop the general infrastructures in the community to make life better, some of them could not believe that I was just a mere tenant. Some thought I was the son of the landlord who does not live there.

SO GET USED TO GETTING THINGS DONE INSTEAD OF WALLOWING IN SELF PITY IT !!!
