Nairalanders, I need your help.

I just moved into this new apartment and within a month to the expiration of my rent, I got a call from the caretaker to see him and he told me they would be is increasing the rent unless I renew before it expires but I didn't have it at that moment and pleaded but he said that's the decision of the owners of the house.

The landlady leaves in the building as well but the caretaker receives rent payment and all for reasons best known to them.

I went to see the landlady and she stood her ground that if I can't pay I should leave. Well, I could deduce her actions for doing this as she had a quarrel with my fiancee and it has been settled but she still had it in her mind.

I don't why people have dumb mentality. A landlady and a tenant cannot quarrel and settle in peace anymore.

I choose to pay the rent increase last year in order to let peace reign. On a norms, I would never pay for such an increase( I mean from 200k to 250k) Now, I just got a letter delivered to me this morning which is a notice to quit as my rent just expired last month.

Normally, when my rent expires or about to, the caretaker will call me and ask when will I be renewing it but this time I didn't get anyone at all which means they actually planned it before now.

They didn't even call me for a meeting to discuss, who does that?

And on the letter, there was no reason stated on the quit notice and it's a 6 months eviction notice. I spoke to my lawyer and she said that's how they do these days issuing quit notice without prior notification even when you're paying constantly.

When I went to see the caretaker, he told me it was because I was absent in the last meeting that was held in the compound. What trash! I rained curses on him to the extent that he couldn't voice out a word again. Apparently, he was shocked as I'm always very gentle.

Are they sharing money in the meeting or what? Or I would leave my business and be in a meeting on a weekday when I can always get what was discussed in the meeting from people that were there.

The reason didn't even go down well with me as it got me really annoyed. I have decided to park out but I want to make sure they see pepper.

Can I stay up to a year or more before moving out?

Please I need your advice, thoughts, and ideas. Thanks in advance and pardon my typos as I'm typing from my phone.

Over entitlement mentality on someone else property

You have 12 whole month to look for your next year rent and you claim you don't have it as at expiration of your rent you even want a reminder from your caretaker

You felt too busy to attend meetings in the house you reside, meeting regarding welfare of the house which is part of your core responsibility as a tenant

Your fiancee had a quarel with the owner of the property

You cursed the caretaker of the property

You better start looking for a new place because highest you can get is 3 month from the reciept of the first notice

Only in Nigeria will a Fool download Sokoloan App, read terms and conditions, collect loan spend it on frivolity and when the time to pay reaches he starts causing all sort of menace

You got 6 month quite notice but want a year free rent....

PS; on a lighter note... What if Buhari and Osinbajo decided to stay extra 6 month in Aso Rock Vila and Aguda house while they drag Nigerians to court



.

1st rule of the thumb,never stay in same compound your landlord lives.

If you are in Lagos,you can drag her to dispute resolution court at Alausa while you begin your hunt for a new apartment. Wish you the best

I suspect you're op's landlady

God1000:

They are not duty bound to be kind to him, it is a contractual agreement they are on as long as the terms of the agreement are kept every other issue isn't a concern

If he was living in an apartment in a country that rent is paid monthly like UAE or UK he would have long been evicted

I have handled horrible tenants before and I know how it feels.... They would start qouting human right over your sweat and blood even without contributing a bag of cement to you

Quick advice, make sure you always read with understanding before commenting on a thread.

Someone once said if you want to hide anything from a black man , put it into a writing

You have 6month to park out.

The landlord or landlady have the right to do any thing he or she do wish and how long he want his tetant to say.

Spot on

Since they gave you six months quit notice I will advise you keep to the notice and get a new place like you said since you are no longer wanted. Trying to stay one extra year with malice in mind can end badly for either you or the owner. Please avoid trouble by all means, and put yourself in the owners shoe because one day you too will be a landlord and wont like such from a tenant.

"Don't show them any pepper" it might boomerang, just pack out peacefully as soon as you can. No point staying in a house you are no longer wanted, besides you will still have to leave someday.

@lakatabah,a lady you haven't married, already quarreling with your landlady? Now her action has led to you been evicted. I pity you,infarct I pity your mother most,your fiancée looks like someone that will show her in laws shege. I pity you too bro.

Offences
1 - Cantankerous live-in lover

2 - Non-attendance of landlord/tenant meetings

3 - Willfully insulting caretaker who is just a messenger for this purpose

OP please judge yourself - If you were a landlord would you tolerate a tenant with these characteristics in your property?!

It's her house. you tenants dont listen

Happy Weekend

I don't why people have dumb mentality A landlady and a tenant cannot quarrel and settle in peace anymore.

I have decided to park out but I want to make sure they see pepper.

Can I stay up to a year or more before moving out?

Look for money and get another accomodation as fast as you can. Do not wait for the 6months to meet you there, else, that caretaker will get back at you.

Not possible

Naija landlords

For FREE?

Why would u want to stay a year before moving out? She has given you 6 monts notice for you to fnd a place and move. If a landlady doesnt want you, its her property, you have no rights to it. BE Honourable and move out within those 6 months.

Typical Over entitled tenant. The landlady does not need a reason to serve an eviction notice. It's her property and she can do as she wishes with respect to the law. I know tenants like you. You feel because you pay rent you have some ownership stake in the property. You mentioned your rent expired last month. A responsible tenant would reach out to inquire about rent renewal options. But your type will never do that. Also you mentioned that the landlady made a rent increase last year. Yes, she can increase rent. Do you know how much it cost to buy land and build a property? Also why would your fiance quarrel with the landlady? Una no get respect?

p.s: A quit notice of 6months does not mean you get to live in the apartment free of charge for the next 6months. You will still pay for the 6months. If you like don't pay. She can take you to court and she would win. Nigeria is not as lawless as you people think. One day you would be a landlord and you would understand. Nonsense.

we you keep kwayiet... Wicked people everywhere. I'm sure this is how you treat your tenant as well, that is if you even own a single block. Mtcheeew

Your fiancee left her own house and came to yours to have a misunderstanding with your landlady?

Your fiancee should learn tact and conflict resolution first, because I am here wondering wetin bring that kind nonsense. Na my own be that.

Your fiancee had a quarrel with your own landlady and you believed it's over, if we observe your babe, she no even reach the woman first child age.

Anyways, it's her house and her decision is final...enjoy the 6 month and please move out in peace cuz if you try to stay more than that 6 month.....it won't end well


If you like, rain curses on the caretaker, you will only make it worse during the 6 months..


Just leave the house in peace , don't even try to pay the 250k cuz the hatred is obvious now
