How much is the amount?
For how many years rent?
Where in Lagos?

Try contacting the landlord association of the area.. guess that a good start

Hmm.

Carry white chalk with kolanut inside plate, add an palmoil, with the man name. Put an fir front of the man house. E go take speed before you thinking say you be native doctor.

If you like tie red cloth for head, carry small horn for hand reach the man front, begin call him name.

But if the man go get sense, bros run o.

Jokes apart, simply invite the police from Panti street, Yaba. E go beg pay the money.

Don't take any of these rubbish recommendations about getting a lawyer. Your ex landlord is obviously a rascal and diplomacy doesn't work in the streets.

Get three army recruit boys. There's hunger and all of them are moving around with rage and red eyes. Treat them to lunch, alcohol and weed. Then table your problem.

If your money doesn't come out the day of the encounter between them and that thief, come back and call me out!

They always think their cheap juju will save them. Carry soldiers and bundle him up he will cough out your money and the money to settle the soldiers too.

silvoclaira:
Get a lawyer or get a soldier.

Those kind of wicked Property owner can make someone miserable and helpless just because they need a refund.

So you think getting a lawyer or soldier will not cost him additional money?

Owning a property does not make one wicked.

This tenant would have negotiated with the landlord.
He would have suggested that the landlord should repair the leaking areas with specified duration. And one or 2 month rent (depending on the costs) for next year will be deducted

OP...
How much is the rent?

Clanhub:
Are you a good tenant?

what business does being a good tenant have to do with refunding his money

How much is the landlord owing you?
How much you fit pay me make we run am sharpaly

oluwaseyi0:
check if someone else has taken the apartment, if yes

bring soldier or police

he's meant to pay you from the new rent not from his business or personal pocket

A friend of mine had reason to leave his rented lagos apartment after 2 month into 12-month rent, immediate someone else packed in he refunded his porated rent

t
Dont waste your time with police. soldier? yes. Police na no go area for any serious biz. i dont use them.

loricara:
I rented an apartment in March when I moved in I discovered the house was leaking water all over the place according to the landlord he said more than 30 places but I think it was around 10 places.

We agreed he will refund me the house rent and agreement and I left immediately in April.

This is 4 months he has rented the house still refused to refund me.

Every time from one story to another he has more than 6 shops he has 2 story building yet he said no money business is not moving.

I'm tired someone please help me we are both Igbos in this Lagos and I'm 22 I need my money back please help me.

My advice, get the matter reported to Police first and then look for a good lawyer. On no account should you involve anyone aside from the Police. Soldiers of the DSS do not handle civil matters. There is nowhere enshrined in the constitution for that. Nobody should deceive you. Your case is a civil matter. Trade with caution n wisdom to avoid losing your money. Don't worry, you will get Justice.

Go and report him at the Citizen Mediation Centre at Motorway, close to 7-Up in Alausa.

Did you move into the apartment since then or you got another house?

Look for a tenant to replace you, and collect the money from him

Small thing, get a lawyer. Lawyer for how much? How much is involved? Is getting lawyer free of charge?

Others are spitting us u still bring this topic for them to spite us the more try get sense
Anyways meet some Igbo people that lives around you they will settle the matter

did u sign any agreement or u documented it before moving out

since you both are Igbos maybe you should try amadioha

If you still have your tenancy agreement and house rent receipt that he issued to you and the rent hasn't expired, just get a police officer to arrest the new occupant of the apartment claiming that he can from no where to take over your locked apartment while you were away. In turn, the tenant will produce the landlord to answer why he rented same apartment to two different persons.
The rent will fall in place from here.

Sorry bro both of you na omo ina

Find a military man and take along to meet him.

Take him to court. On a serious note, report him here https://lasrera.lagosstate.gov.ng/complaint.jsp

How much is your house rent?

Tenants can be funny. It is possible he discovered that you just wanted to use him for 1 month before moving into where you actually intended to move into.

Be that as it may..did you collect proofs of the leaks and communication where he acknowledged that that you should move out and agreed to a refund?

If not, you are still under lease...now if you have evidence that he has re-rented your place....that strengthens your case..if he has not...best to speak to Elders in your community because you are burning away your rent and he can say that you moved out by choice without his consent and you had both agreed on payment and length of stay.

Next time...check where you want to live in before paying.. and when you pay..learn to endure for that year especially if others were turned down for you...don't be the ungrateful fellow and want refund and start drama...Landlord have responsibilities too...once you pay..the money has probably gone to their children's school fees or medicals...they don't keep it under the pillow or in banks ...that is how economy works....distribution of money.

If you ain't matured enough to look for, discover and inspect apartment properly before moving in...please, take a friend, stay with a friend or remain in parent's house. I am tired of tenants moving in and immediately it's this or that...you have responsibility of maintaining your rented flat and keeping it in the condition given to you.

Shut up, envious cowardly kazeem.

OfeAchi:
Most Ibo landlords are inhumane scumbags.
I spit on them tribe

Yugoslavia247:


We are both igbos.

So why add that


For what exactly.

Then settle it in Igbo way.

It's necessary he added that information, else the Imaginations of Nigerians will run wild.

Hmm...

buygala:
Only legal remedy is to take the landlord to court to recover your money..


Anything else is illegal and may land you in trouble..... That's all I have to say..

loricara The above is the best advice anyone can give you. Never take the advice of those telling you to use soldiers or thugs as that will put you in trouble and may lead you to jail.
