You cannot undertake construction job without an agreed quotation and payment terms, all signed.



Forget structure, rich and powerful men owes big and structured companies and there is little they can do except long and expensive legal tussles to get their monies. Rich men owe big and structured banks billions of naira and the banks beg to get their money. AMCON was created to banks recover loans that banks banks could otherwise not recover.


A former Group Managing Director of NNPC owed me for job done at his residence and his wife's office. What do you expect me to do? I asked someone he respects to beg him for me. It was the day he was taking his whole family to London on holidays he felt pity for me and paid me my N250,000 owed. Do you want me to tell you about a SAN (Senior Advocate of Nigeria) that owed me for 8 months.

Now, I don't allow people to owe me. I must collect my money 100% before final delivery of any goods or services. This I state in all my contracts. If the clients don't accept it, then it's bye. I cannot go through the stress and humiliation of begging for my money again.

This is wickedness, not only did you owe for eight months you locked his house for over a year. You deserve to have your things thrown out into the streets! Majority of tenants we have today are horrible sets of people! Imagine if that house was the landlord's main source of income, that's how you would have deprived the man from making money for an entire year and you expect God not to punish you. I hope you build your own house one day and one useless tenant will lock it up for 600 years without paying

Deserea:
Your landlord and all those condeming you are ignorant of the law, and ignorance is not an excuss in the eye of the law.

Just as naijainstinct rightly said, get yourself a good lawyer with concrete evidence against the landlord and sue him for trespass and burglary, claim malicious damage of your choice, and watch him pay in tears.

Teach him some lessons, and he will becareful with others next time. But, first report to police as burglary and theft before proceeding to court.

I wish you the best!

Foool. The tenant property is in landlord's care.. Why not kuku put your wife in his care? Your brain has been formatted. Kid. Landlord is solely responsible for security in his compound. You are a fool. Are you paying him service charges? This one is even a baby. I have houses I haven't been to in more than one year. So if your brother come to pack your load I should go and get police on your behalf. Idiort!!! Security is a collective responsibility based on stated agreement. Why am I even talking further with this Foool that lacks public decorum?

naijainstinct:
Simply just obtain a police report and proceed to court. Even though you owe him, he should have obtained an eviction order from the court. He has broken the law. If you don't sue him, he will do it again. We are not in a jungle, there's a due process for everything. Being owed is not a reason to act outside the ambit of the law. Also, don't allow anyone harass you. Going by the ACJA 2015, police should not interfere in civil matters such as this. Indebtedness is not a criminal offence. The reason why you are reporting to the police is because a criminal offence has been committed by your landlord i.e obtaining your asset without your notice (a.k.a stealing) and breaking into your apartment (a.k.a burglary)

The compensation you will get will surpass the rent you are owing. Make sure you pay your rent from that. All the best.

The landlord is a very patient man

I had sympathy for the tenant...until I saw that he had not paid his rent for eight months.

Landlord was very very patient. Some would have gotten the tenant's property removed within 2 weeks of default

Congratulations!!! Bros, You don blow ooo

Just find correct Lawyer

Something of such happened in Lagos here 9 years ago, the tenant rented an half plot, I don't really know how much he pays then for the rent, but he wasn't paying very well. He was owing the landlord a year rent.

He built a restaurant and bar on the land.

One day, Landlord got angry and arranged boys to destroy the man's shop. They destroy the walls without going inside not touching anything. The man told me this himself because I was going to rent part of the the land for my viewing center business that I wanted to open at the area then.

He reported the case to the police and got himself a lawyer because he was educated and an Ebo man. He took pictures for evidence and told the Judge that he left 5 million naira in his bar, his lawyer asked him to say that.

They charged the man to court and he explained what led to his actions but the Judge punished him by asking him to pay 8 million for damages or he can forget the land, and it belongs to the tenant until otherwise.

The man begged his tenant but he refused and got stroke. So, his children went to the man to beg and he asked them to go and bring 3 million and he will drop the case. Till today, the tenant has been using the land as he likes and renting it to other tenants like he owns it. The owner is late now so and the children never see 3m.

This happens at Aguda Ogba Lagos.

Congrats again

Do you live in Lagos?

In your so called America, the op won't last four months before they throw out his property. You will owe landlord for eight months in America and they won't send your property packing . You guys will just watch one film and be generalising. Go and owe your landlord in America and see wether you won't end up on the streets

The issue here is lawlessness and getting away with it.

helpee:
The main issue is that the law did not protect the landlord in Nigeria unlike USA. In USA, within one month the landlord can get you evicted and still collect his money since you will have social security number so the landlord has no reason to take laws into his hands. Here, the tenant is owing 8months , locked the property and the landlord may not be able to get him evicted in the next 8 moths again and he may never recover the rent since the tenant will just disappear. So, if the same thing that happened to this landlord is happening in America, many of them will also become lawless and trust me, they will find legal loopholes to get away with it

Hello guys, I'm new to posting on this forum so I don't know the best section this post should be.
As I type this, I'm currently sick and there so much anger and pain within, I haven't been able to eat or drink since I got the news from my neighbor who told me that my landlord came to the house with a strange face, broke the locks to my apartment and packed my things out, I sent a relative to confirm and she said everything is outside but he went with my TV set.
I called the landlord to ask what he has done, he blatantly lied telling me I sent my 'brother' to clear my things off the apartment that he has reported me to Police.
Yes, I owe him 8months rent and I've away for 13 months even before the last year rent I paid expired. I told him I'll be back by November and I'll pay once I get in.
Pls even though I owe him, it doesn't feel right stealing my property and throwing the rest in the rain
Pls I'm lost and dire need of legal advice
Edit: while I'm not absolving my self of the guilt that I owe the landlord this long and purely due to loss of job (covid19 problems) and there's no way I go there and get my stuff without paying the backlog. [code][/code] he freaking broke in and kept what he desired for himself and lied he didn't. Haba, this is wrong na

Icumsa45:
Well it's his property and you are owing with the intent of not likely to pay back, if you had paid part landlord go know say you dey try.
