If he has the money to fight, I doubt the op would have been here. It cost huge money to fight Landlords in Nigeria. Where should he start from? Landlord already tip off the police that would have helped him.
You want him to fight the corrupt systems? How ?
It is not by keyboards alone, you know.

It's not that expensive except he gets a high profile lawyer. I took the police to court earlier this year for illegally seizing my car. The whole case lasted two weeks after which the Nigerian police was ordered to release my car.

We must learn to start fighting for our rights. It will discourage further abuse in the future.

When I had a similar case, my landlady bribed the DPO who was forcing me to settle the case out of court. I took the case to Panti and they were forced to arraign the case to court.

Once the case gets to court, the landlord would spend a lot of money bail, lawyer and the legal process.

I made a post about a month ago on Nairaland about my landlord. He gave me a quit notice when my rent is yet to due, we have not been in good terms, I was rest assured that I still have three months left so no need to panic.

I got home now and saw carpenters removing the roof of my apartment with two abled young men which I haven't seen their face before, the roof of my apartment has been removed now.

I went to the nearby station to lodge a complain but I was told the man had come earlier, and told the police has giving me quit notice that he wants to renovate his house.

It's really a hard time for me and my siblings, getting a quick accomodation. He never informed us of renovating the apartment, I just lost my job last week and this is happening to me again.

My life is in a mess right now as I don't know where to start from, this is just a challenge for me and I will stay stronger and fight this battle till the end, probably God is preparing me for a better place ahead....


He can’t renovate the house until ur rent expires and he has to give u 3/6months notice.

Get a lawyer and take him to court. He’s not the only landlord in Lagos.

Find a way to leave that house

It's better not to drag rent issues with some evil landlords even when they give you quit notice months ahead

You loosing you job now may not be unconnected with this issue

You just sounded irresponsible and careless. This guy is complaining he has issues. Meanwhile a yearly tenant is entitled to 6months notice and at the expiration of that notice the landlord has no right to enter his property and remove his roof. He should be able to get injunctive reliefs in court and also sue for exemplary damages. Dont even start arguing with me, your type shouldn't be making comments in the public space.
Have you asked of the tenancy agreement??

You guys will be running around with the tenancy law without recourse to the tenancy agreement.

If the law won't help, it's an invitation to take laws into ones hands. There was a standing agreement between the young man and the landlord. His rent is not due yet. The landlord is just being wicked and deserve no fair treatment......except this is not the full story and the poster is hiding some truth. Reason why I asked what reasons the landlord have on the quit notice
How did you know his rent is not due?
Re: Help!!! My Landlord Has Removed The Roof Of My Apartment by kingphilip(m): 10:03pm On Feb 23, 2022
wirinet:

So because someone is owing 1 year or 10 years, the landlord should resort to self help?
Maybe we should close the courts and disband the police so we can a resort to jungle justice.
So because the landlord is taking it cool and gentle with you, you decide to take the landlord's gentility for cowardice.

Why not help him sue the landlord to court since e sure for you.

[last year ,it happened to a friend of mine, his landlord gave him quit notice to evacuate with
4 days on a remainder of 5 months rent available on the fact he wanted to renovate, and he lost his job, the landlord used padlock to relock his apartment and then used police to embarrass this struggling graduate, wel he took his stuffs sold most cheaply and started qiatting, to God who helped him within 6 month, he got a new govt job, rented a 3 bedroom,fully furnished and his living large.
the landlord died few weeks from Aids, and neevr renovated his apartment ]. in essence things might seem gloomy, sell some things gain cash, squat with a friend and I believe everything would eventually sort itself... Jah is your strength.

Get a lawyer, make sure you snap the house without the roof. You can make money from this. Let the lawyer sue on your behalf. Where do you reside

There you are soliciting for pity, when you are not in good terms with your landlord, your landlord is an authority over you and should be respected or you can simply pack out. This is one of the reason some people formally doing well packs into a new compound and suddenly become poor ( onye fe eze, eze eruo ya ) people that are always fighting with their landlords, will never be landlords.

Very wicked set of people.

Someone is owing over 1 year and only paid for 1 month after pleading with him for over two months.

If to say I get money, na this landlord way I for follow.

Carry me go any court or whatever defender na there we go open tenancy law show them say tenancy agreement supercedes whatever they are trying to bring in.
And we don't even collect agreement and commission fees from them o, they pay only house rent as new tenants, yet that's not enough motivation not to owe subsequent rents, to pay on time and be polite. It's this type of landlord that fits them. Wicked human beings... They make you regret being nice and considerate as a Nigerian..

The worst of them is you'll plead and plead for them to even be paying you one month current and one month outstanding they'll tell you okay but it is after two months they'll bring money for two months and the outstanding will still remain.

If you aren't a low IQ individual, you would have attempted to ask what my landlord did?

It is unfortunate people like you that think building a house gives you the right to dehumanize others.

Perhaps, countries should start 'seizing' citizens of other countries that owe them.

So, going to take the roof off someone's head, on the strength of a mere quit notice, is justifiable abi?

Landlords can take rent in advance for 12 or 24 months...but can't condone being owed for a single month?

You are not okay at all. What useless law of universe are you talking about?

When court clear the guy say if them analyse him actions, na him suppose pay me compensation....nobody advice am to make U-turn.

You didn't even try to get an idea what the landlord did, and you are talking about the law of universe....your sense of judgement certainly is terrible!

Dem tell you say any judge go just 'pat you for back' for not paying your rent?
