Greetins in my opinion. just tell the tenant you need to renovate your property and give a particular date the work will start.if he or she doesn't comply come with people and state removing windows.

Please I needed help to evict a stubborn tenant. After I left the country and handed over my property to a lawyer, a tenant has refused paying his rent for almost two years without reason. The matter has been in court for almost two years without success. The court keeps adjourning the case. The tenant refusal to pay the rent has pushed other tenant to start owing too. Please kindly suggest the best way out of this situation.
Location of property: Abuja.
Please don't try removing the roof because you will pay all dem money from the spoilt property. I will simple suggest you find a good friend with mean face that you trust very well or a brother that your tenant does not know as your brother arrange with him with your lawyer tell the lawyer to introduce him as the new lordlord and they will announce to your tenants that they are given three months grace to pack all of them, serve them all papers and see how it will work please don't try native festism either because it is very unGodly and risky.

Send soldiers- you go settle them well, they will take care of business
When your village people want to settle your matter is when those soldiers you called would beat the tenant to death,or if you are extremely lucky,he lands only in hospital.
You would then see where a patient(a tenant) connives with the hospital to claim a treatment that they charged the patient 30-60k is being billed at 300k.
You the landlord would now be the one pleading with both hospital and tenant.How embarrassing can that be!
Patience is a virtue because some irrational, extrajudicial actions taken by people who felt wrong or cheated have ended up with "had I known".
Visit the prisons and hear cases of inmates and you would realize no matter how sadistic a tenant is,your freedom and piece of mind is too much to sacrifice for any amount owed one.

It took us more than five years to finally kick a stubborn tenant out of the property last week. It took that long because of some silly circumstances beyond our control, among which are hesitation from our side and delayed court processes, one of which you have mentioned. Such as almost falling into the trap of using illegal means to evict the stubborn tenant. My advice is to seek the advice of a lawyer who specialises in evicting tenants and pursuing that process only. If you do something illegal rather than court proceedings, you will be surprised how you will find yourself in court for unlawful house eviction. As this will slow down the court eviction process and gives the tenant legitimate reasons to attack your eviction processes in court. You need to be patient and follow the court guidance only. I repeat only!

Sincerely, the COVID lockdown allows the court proceeding to drag for too long. Ours was long because the stubborn tenant kept appealing the court verdict for no apparent reason. If you follow the lawyer's guidance, give and take, the process should be less than four years. The court eventually gave the final eviction notice and the court bailiffs and police officers kicked out the stubborn tenant. All his stuff was dumped outside the house and even rained on later that day. He was thoroughly shamed out of the property.

What is the court saying? Which of the court is the matter in? How much is the rent? I handled something similar and the tenant has been evicted through a court order

You used a quack lawyer ab initio. The tenancy agreement ought to contain a clause that could empower you to repossess your property without notice beyond a week if he defaults. Sue the lawyer.

1. You can't blame the lawyer without knowing the full story.

2. The only lawful way to recover a property from a tenant that refuses to leave is through the courts.

It is unlawful to try and evict a tenant yourself.

Op, 2 yrs seem a long time. Try and get to the bottom of why the court process is taking so long.

There is more to this I think.

No tenant will remain in your house for 2 years withiout paying after receiving court order.

Give the property to another competent lawyer or agent. They will evict him within 6 months.

This is definitely an igbo tenant.

Always making landlords regret letting the space to them. They’ll use money for the rent to pursue court case then damage the house on their way out.

Your lawyer is not sharp though. The tenants don’t regard him at all.

Dear Tenant,
I hope your day has been great?
This is to inform you that I plan to carry a renovation on the apartment you occupy.
It is great timing tha this coincided with the expiration of your rent.
For this purpose, I am giving you between now and the next six months to find an alternative place to live while I prepare to embark on the renovation.
The renovation is slated to begin on or before 1st of November, 2022.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.

My concern is the tenancy agreement the lawyer drafted. Yes, I can blame the lawyer. He is the reason why the landlord became helpless and the courts had to be involved.

Just like someone said. Serve him quit notice. Give him extra three months ..cos thats the rule..then start renovating after the three months elapsed..start by removing the roof. And disconnect his water and power supply. This method is legal. You have a document to show that a quit notice was served because of renovation and you gave him extra three months

Some tenants can be stubborn

If he's living upstairs, serve him quit notice and highlight you want to renovate your building. Once the date has passed, start by removing the roof above his living room and bedroom
I swear this is the best simple method, instead of that money wasting in court, even if it's not upstairs building, just call carpenter and isolate his rooms apartment and remove the roof their,if he put another remove it again, this can't cost alots at all

your lawyer made mistake for taking him to court. He should have come to an understanding with him to move out instead of court. As its stand now, be patient till court give judgement, your rent will be eventually paid. Just give quit notice to everyone to move out, then bring new tenants.

Lawyers are not good in property management, you should have given the Property to estate surveyors and valuers

Your lawyer is probably collecting your rent and sabotaging your case. Remove the case from court. Use a neutral person to give everybody in the property quit notice. You can use your relative or close friend. Send them to customary Court to get the notice typed. I issued one last month, N5k. You can use a neutral lawyer too. From there the court will ensure everybody pays rent owed or they leave.

If the problem persists, send me a dm.

Una nor dey read? All of you shouting ‘remove the roof’ abi ‘give him quit notice’, did you not see where he wrote that the case is in court? Don’t you know he cannot do anything that will inconvenience the errant tenant to the said property?

Sad as it sounds, your hands are tied. Any negative physical action you take now will work against you in court. You need divine intervention!

The only thing you can do now is evict all the other tenants to avoid a spread of tenant rascality.

I would have charged you for this piece of advice but let me for just dish it out for free

Simply go and get guys to remove the roof of the building on the grounds that you want to renovate the house. Thank God it's raining season I strongly believe he will on his own park out of the building. Make sure they start removing the roof from his own side.

I know you just said thank you. You are welcome
