If in six months he doesn't get an apartment, should he put his load inside the gutter..... The way some landlords treat tenants sometimes is annoying and worrisome. You just increased the rent and the next thing is quit notice. Someone that has been paying , now couldn't pay within a month, you issue a quit notice... If you know you can quit the apartment in that six months pls do. But sincerely, people like them needs to be dealt with... If e be say the person wey get the house don die self..... As someone as said, don't think of staying in a house the landlord lives. God will help you my brother.. Amen |

TCD:so ? If u know tenancy law very well, landlord doesn't have right to throw tenant property out side the house anyhow unless tenant do something unethical like unable to pay at least three months, fight in the compound, dirty the compound etc. before it warrant eviction. |

There are always two side of a story, mind you I believe your landlady has her own side of d story too which she might eventually be vindicated .... But may God judge it well or look for a mediation center / court of law. |

Toks2008: Daroldigits: There is no free rent anywhere under the law. That the landlady used her own money to build a house while others were stocking their stores does not stop her from making an income from her business. It is an open market. If not satisfied with services somewhere, another place can be visited. I know of a lady on Australia who defaulted on rent and apart from being evicted, she had her name on a blacklist of defaulters which made her getting a new place very difficult and at the end she was able to get a new place for an exceedingly high amount compared to the norm. If the OP were to travel overseas and his landlady decides to play a village people monitor on his life, the OP will have himself to blame if his negative action follows him to the embassy. There are events that follow our actions. The six months given to the OP are not free and any lawyer will tell you so. It is to be paid for. The norm is to give 7 days for a rent defaulter and then evict. Some Nigerian states require a one month notice before the 7 days notice. Giving the OP six months is a nice action by the landlady and if I were the OP, I would show my appreciation while looking for the new place one year rent. (I imagine the OP already has enough to cover for the 6 months he was graced. I have been to court where a judgement was given against a defaulting tenant who was told to pay his outstanding, the money owed while case was still ongoing as well as the cost of the landlord on the court case. He lost all ways. There is simply no point in overstating. 2 Likes 1 Share |

DanjaNinja:My brother has a lawyer and he kept going back and forth to court with his three tenants that chose to stress him. I won't get his type of stress if I don't get any tenant at all. I'm cool with that because I'm not even relying on the rent money for anything. Im currently not in Nigeria and don't want the house to be empty, that's the reason I thought renting the flats out to some people might make it occupied, but when I started reading about tenants stressing their landlords, it's scary as hell. I have a few friends that were landlords in Nigeria and relocated abroad. Suddenly, their tenants stopped paying their rents, saying they're ok, that's why they're abroad - without thinking if these people had other plans for these funds before relocating. Some of them ended up selling their houses cos it wasn't worth it keeping them for non-paying tenants. Rather than paying their current rents to these landlords, the tenants are buying their lands, building their own and forget to pay their current landlords because they know theye not around and won't have time for prolonged court cases in Nigeria. I actually think this can be described as being selfish on the parts of the tenants. 3 Likes |

Mooh247:Yes, i wanted to say you sounded like a landlord yourself. We know it's a union of property owners over tenants. The truth is NEVER reside in same compound with owner, you can never be right or said to have done well. Most times they get you through your wife or children, if you're the gentle type! 1 Like |

Lakatabah:the meeting was not important to you,the other tenants that attended shared money abi or they have no businesses, now you need suggestions. Please before you pack in to the next property, caution your fiance or wife,there is a reason why lords are attached to the owners of the properties,those who ignores that experience the same fate that now confront you. 1 Like |

pocohantas: Tact? How is that tact? If that's tact then why are we clamouring for a change in government instead of just having regards for the constituted authority. Why not just put up with everything the government throw at you because you have regards for leadership. Well you call it TACT,I call it ass licking. Just because you don't want your land lord to give you quit notice,you must do whatever he says even if it doesn't make sense. I've seen some people doing the most silly things at work just because they don't want to lose their job but will complain bitterly about it in secret. Nobody will wake up one day and just decide to cause trouble, talking about building your own house cause your land lord is being difficult,let me tell you this, everyone won't be a landlord or land lady, and moving out is not as easy as you put it. |

Still ask your lawyer whether you can stay up to that number of months, but it will be unwise for you to do that. |
Re: My Landlady Just Brought A Quit Notice To Me Out Of The Blue! by fkj950ax(m): 10:49pm On May 07, 2022 |
Lakatabah: Every landlord has the right to take a tenant and ask the tenant to leave, within the tenancy law of your state. A yearly tenant has to be given 6 months notice. You got the 6 months notice. BUT, it was wrongly served. So you can go to court and get an order to pay for the new year. You were supposed to be given 6 months notice before your rent expired, not 1 month to the expiration. But expect that year to be a tumultuous year in the property. Another thing you can do is to pay for 6 months and use the 6 months to find another property and raise the funds 1 Like |

Hello, I was once in your shoes before I said byebye to tenancy palava. Please read this... 1. Never you, I repeat never you live in same compound with the owner (landlord or landlady). 2. From your post, you're still single as most land ladies use charms to control their husband and might decide to use those charms on you if you continue to provoke them. 3. My sincere advise to you is to pack out there even before the grace-period. 1 Like |
Re: My Landlady Just Brought A Quit Notice To Me Out Of The Blue! by Ghostrye: 10:59pm On May 07, 2022 |
you are lucky she/he didn't give you the notice six months before the expiration of your rent. So as your rent dey finish, you go pack out straight. Not one extra days as jara |

MemoriesAndMe: You have just described my predicament. I currently live abroad. My tenant told me to my face that he doesn’t know when he would pay me rent. I’m currently in the process of evicting the tenant. The lesson has taught me never to invest in Nigerian real estate. I’d rather buy properties abroad where I’m fully protected by the law than waste my money in Nigeria. And yet, our people wonder why the economy is stagnant. No single trust and integrity. Diaspora Nigerians would rather keep money in the bank than invest in Nigeria. What a shame. 2 Likes |
