So long as there's a written agreement I don't see the need to fret. Take the idiots to court |

BlueRayDick: your example is that of a family issues, it does not correlate to the issue on ground, in the sense that indeed money exchange hands before the tenant, so it does not correlate, a sound property lawyer will take the landlord to the cleaner in this OP case, |

do4luv14: Okay. Goodluck to the op and his sound lawyer |

I hope you collected your rent receipt/ rent agreement? If not, you are on your own. If you collected your receipt, you can ONLY be evicted when next rent payment is due. |

@OP Tell the landlord you need your full rent plus commission paid back so you can secure another apartment with the money. If they refuse, get a lawyer and proceed to court. Something is really wrong with that landlady. You want to enter a property that already has an occupant who paid rent, not like his rent is even due or something. |

BlueRayDick: Even without a receipt they cannot legally evict him like that. I would say he should just chill and let the month end. Then they will come back and ask him to leave. He should insist on getting a proper quit notice. If they bring a notice that is less than 6 months, get a lawyer to reply their letter. They will chill. |

do4luv14: Even an average lawyer will deal with the landlord. This case is a No-brainer |

BlueRayDick:Leave them oo, some are even saying he is to get 6months free, i wonder the law they are quoting. People don't know that there is nothing like verbal agreement in respect to property, you have to get a receipt and an agreement that states the scope of what you are paying for |
Re: Just Moved In Three Months Ago And Told To Pack Out Now. by OlujobaSamuel: 7:28pm On Mar 08, 2022 |
femijay8271:If you have 6months left and he gives you the notice which also elapsed at that 6th month date your rent is due, he need not give you any extra 6month, if the 6month is beyond your due date, he is entitled to get the balance, if it's less, you get the refund of the month difference |
Re: Just Moved In Three Months Ago And Told To Pack Out Now. by BlueRayDick: 7:31pm On Mar 08, 2022 |
OlujobaSamuel: You no see say I no get strength to follow anybody argue? Let the op follow their advice now and let him come give testimony after the imaginary 6 months |

OlujobaSamuel: Alright thanks for info |

To eject a tenant whose rent has not expired, you must serve 6 months quit notice in case of a yearly tenancy. 3 months in case of a quarterly tenancy. Note: The expiry date of the notice must not end before the rent expires. It can end on or after the rent expires. Else, it will be invalid. This is what the Tenancy Law states. I'll advise you to consult a lawyer on this. No landlord /lady has the right to eject a tenant just because he/she feels like. They must follow the law. However, if they insist they don't want you there. The burden is now on them to refund you every penny, down to any improvements made on the property. Calculate the expenses made on painting, fixtures etc. Document them. They must refund you every penny. If they have to suffer you such inconvenience, they must be ready to compensate you. |

Chief, If you pay annually, the 6 months is your expected notice period. Notice period is supposed to be half of the rent time you paid if i remember correctly. The notice period doesn't necessarily have to be after your rent term, so If you pay for one year in january, your landlord can notify you in june that he'd like you to move out by end of december. That is a 6-month notice period, which is in line with your agreement, you just need to find a new place. femijay8271: |

Why do you laugh? You are not the only landowner. I am too. you are not invisible. If I need to use any of my properties, it is the most honorable thing to do. You are a landowner for a reason. Going down the rabbit hole with a tenant can get you messed up big league. This is the reason why many landowners get shot and killed. Taking power into your hands can only work for a few people. My cousin is still living rent-free for years now. Not that he doesn't have the cash but he is teaching the landowner a lesson in life. Some tenants are property owners too. If you mess with someone like me, for sure, I am dragging you to court. I am not problematic but if I entered a tenancy agreement with you, respect it. Do not assume that you can move me east and west like a spatula cos' I am your tenant. People have businesses and hustles. if one is giving out an address, it is difficult to move. I have been kicked out before and I got every damn cent. Pray that you do not rent your house to troublemakers. Pray! My uncle had to sell his property and sell the tenant in it. Don't laugh. This is life. Get attuned to reality. I have seen the head of a landowner hung on his gate. People are going through a lot in life. LandOwners: |
