Was there an agreement that she will provide water for your mum? You are not a tenant in that house and you can be arrested for conduct likely to breach public peace. Your mum is the tenant, not you. If your name is on the receipt and you don't live there then you have illegally transferred your tenancy to another person. Be careful with your madness, it can land you in serious trouble. As for people not living with their landlord or landlady, one day you will build your house and tenants will also wish you don't live in a house you built with your money.

Nononsenseguy:
Good day all, hope your day is going well.

I'll go straight to the point. I rented a 2 bedroom flat for my mum last year October, paid agent and lawyer fees, the agent never told me the place has the landlady living in it.

My mum was happy and moved into the apartment, I noticed that after some months she was complaining about the house, I finally went there to see her, guess what? The landlady is a devil in human form, she's an unmarried bitter human who was opportuned to inherit the building from her family.
This woman locked the well and told my mum and younger bro to source for water elsewhere, I was mad when I got to hear what she's making my family go through. I came to the house and removed the padlock she locked the well with, she called my mom and told her to pack out when her rent expires next week.

Well, since she thinks the world revolves around her and wants everyone to fear and worship her, I'll show her what real madness is.

I have decided to ask her for a refund of the agent and lawyer fees I paid since it's barely one year, she can't stress my family this way and get away with it.

To everyone reading this, I have one advice, never live in the same building with the landlord or you would have yourself to blame at the end of the day.

Please nairalanders, Is my action justified?

affable4:
Hahahaha. I live in the same compound with my landlord for 5years now, no issues. I play my role, you play yours.

You can only avoid career landlord and landladies, people who make a living from just the rent they collect. Those ones see the property as their business center and are always impatient to see the next rent due date.

With the above in mind, they can frustrate you to want to pack out so they can collect another agent, agreement and caution fees. And maybe, increase rent too.

In fact, career landlord/landladies are a frustrated bunch looking for who to frustrate.

You should keep your gunpowder dry,the battle is yet to start,ignore her verbal quit notice and Carry on with your life,wait until the lawyer serves you a quit notice,by then you will know if it's to go or renew your rent,if you are to go,you are entitled to up to 6 months rent free for you to get another accomodations.

xtervaganza:
she has just given your family the license to live in the house for free. I did weyrey for one idiot like that who asked me to leave within 7 days. I turn her house to rent free till I got tired

LagBlogger:


Rent free for 6 months ba? You never jam landlord wey Sabi law. You will pay for those six months by force.

mosdii:



3 months but we move. The gospel must be preached to every simp

Solatium:




Except you don't know your right under the same law, i refer you to Lagos rent law.
stop stupid argument

LagBlogger:


You must mention stupid because you see a different argument. That is how stupid people reason .

The same Lagos rent law doesn't give you automatic 6 months rent free under the guise of 6 months quit notice. If the landlord knows his right you will be properly educated about the meaning of mense profit.

The stupid argument is the one lacking substance.

basadenet:


Law does not allow anybody to live in somebody s house for free, even if given quit notice, you are still going to pay your rent before leaving

Solatium:



The same law that binds the Tenant is what binds the landlord, guess you are one of those shylock landlords,i don't expe6that to seat well with you,major reason i referenced the rent law,but in your bid to continue the stupid argument you have no reference to quote except that same ryme of "if the landlord knows his right"
Na only landlord get right?

You are one of those irresponsible tenants who wants to live rent free.

Go try with the wrong person you go know how far.

Point of correction it is Lagos Tenancy law which your ignorant self cannot defend.

Let your rent expire, don't pack out and wait for 6 months notice so you can live rent free. You will know landlord too have rights.

Now run along and ruminate over my free advice.

Also the stupid argument is yours, quote the part of the law that allows you live 6 months rent free.

Ignoramus.

Solatium:



As at the last check i have never owed anyone rent from day one i have been letting houses,i have never had any cause to missuse other people's property.

As at the last check i can't remember letting any of your house or your relatives property
why the thing they pain you is what I can't understand,those who made the law had wicked souls like you in mind before making such law,they know people like you are fucking oppressive and the need to put a stop to your madness,they know people like you can't survive without those rents you get,hence the need to treat tenants with respect and dignity.
For your information,in our own house gan,once we are the one asking you to leave we give you 6 months to move out,we had given a tenant a whole year to get himself and the family sorted,in that situation no one accused us of any wrong doing.


I don't spoon feed people with information,at least i have pointed you the law,
Instead of senseless argument you engage in why don't you download it and peruse,keep for future reference so that you don't end up in jail just in case you come across those who knows and want to claim their rights

LagBlogger:


Oga, go and live rent free for 6 months let us see if your poverty stricken self won't be forced to pay to an enlightened landlord.

Mense profit you don check am. Evil person wanting to live rent free.

Try it first let us hear how it went.

Other evil tenants reading this, the law doesn't give you 6 months free rent in lieu of quit notice like this ignoramus is selling to you.

Even in Nigeria where justice is slow you will pay those 6 months by force.

Slow pokes and Osho free everywhere.

YeyeGbami:
You could have spoken to her and hear her own side of the story before you removed the lock.

Did she recently lock the well?
