Landlord Issue I Need More Knowledge About This by anainterior2018: 7:42am On Oct 06, 2023
I promise to make this simple and short. Please kindly bear with me. however i write this am mind is filled up.
I just got an apartment where am living for now with my wife and daughter which is going to be 2yrs of me staying by January 14 2024. but the issue i have right now is that i was suppose to renew my house rent January 14 2023 the sum of 550k year due to how difficult everything was so

i make half payment on December 2022 to the lawyer and make the lawyer understand the situation of thing at the moment and he accept with me sum of 275k that's 6 month payment so hoping before June/July i will be paid the remaining half. fast forward to August 16 i message the lawyer

again on whatsapp again concerns the second half payment which i did another 275k but to my surpise after paying the said amount i got quit notice letter just 1 weeks after making payment that i shoudn't renew my rent again and i should leave the house before january 14 or by january 14. so i went to the lawyer office and let him know how i feel about this that what my offend and when you know you're given me QUIT NOTICE why collecting money from me again and he doesnt respond to my question saying the landlady complain my wife doesnt use to greet her whereas we are living in the same compound but we tenant have our own gate while the landlord have their own personal gate and compound we doesn't share the same compound because there's demarcation between the tenant and landlord.

my problem and concerns at the moment is i dont have money yet on me to rent another apartment i will really need enough time. I want people here to enlighten me on this under the law, is it how it works in Lagos state and secondly i was told they are coming for inspection of my apartment by November if i made any damage in the apartment when am still living in the apartment likewise am new to this i pay for damage the sum of 60k i never damage anything in the apartment still this moment everything is in order. i really better knowledge on this about the quite notice and inspection of house around November because i dont trust the landlord for who they claim to be PASTOR

I'm still to read and reply back

You struggled to pay your last rent by paying it in tranches. This means you may not be able to pay next year rent at all until 2024 runs out. That's why they quickly found a way to avoid you owing them rent and the legal battles that will accompany evicting you by force.

They gave you a notice already. 5 months enough for you to find an apartment you can afford. Live below your means.

I was paying less than 20k for house rent in the town I was until last month when I moved to another town where my family members own houses. I work from home and I'm no longer paying any rent.

Lagos a very deadly state. Full with greedy landlords, lawyers, agents and what have you. What I will advice you do, get a lawyer, if they want you to leave the house, a notice windows of 6months is ok to enable you prepare and source for another accommodation. Talk to the landlord. Get a lawyer who knows much about the tenancy law in lagos. Nor let them use you. If people open their mouth to tell you what they are going through in lagos you will. Be amaze. It's a f***King state.


The notice window should be after your rent has expired.

This is how bad wives put their husbands in trouble. The problem with a bad character is that your landlord will use it against u when theres no other reason to evict you. You have no other option than to pack out, no matter the law, the house still belongs to him and nothing can change that.

Women undecided

Husband and Landlord are tight friends but Wife and Landlady are 'cat and dog'.

Now, landlord has to evict his friend cos of a woman.

The world would have been a better place without women.

Always remember, God and Adam were paddy until Eve came.

i understand a friend told me they are suppose to refund me back that since there's no refund that i still have right to spend at least 3 month after my due date under the law.

am sure she doesn’t and it is women thing in general especially the educated ones, they always have problems adapting to any environment and some will have their husbands renting new apartments every single year. They will always find an excuse to say the house or environment is not suitable to them.

A woman under your roof will be making you change environment every single year and you can't curtail her ?

Yes we know that educated women are recipe for disaster, but, they shouldn't be putting you in panic mood every single year.

I'll advise OP to allow his 'beloved' wife to go house hunting, so she can experience what it feels like to change environment every time.

My brother everything no be law.......

Since things r presently rough with u.........jux down yo ego and talk to the landlady herself one on one..........say thing to suit her ego trust me she would back down on the quit notice........

Honestly.........most landlady especially from rural part of Lagos take greetings seriously infact from tenants wives....... cheesy wink

Presently.........where I stay my landlord issue quit notice freely hiding under Female tenant or tenants wives not greeting...........and yes I affirm most female tenant/tenants wives don't..........

Lol... Your wife's ability to greet or inability is not the issue here...
The issue here is that, your rent is bigger than you...
Lagos is diverse. Go out there and look for an accomodation that fits your financial capability...
Any tenant that can't pay one year rent in full has serious financial issues and if not tackled on time, will bring problem in future...
If it's half of the money u can afford of NGN275K, then go look for house that can collect same amount for one full year...
Nothing to beg here...
Just ask for quit notice and move on...
Then tell your wife to smile and greet people..
It cost nothing and saves unforseen problem

Someone has already pointed out the main reason why you were served quit notice.

Believe me, it's got nothing to do with your wife. It took you almost a whole year to complete your rent. They're having serious doubts about you making an early payment next year. No landlord wants that.

I would advise you to look for somewhere much cheaper since it's obvious that raising 500k has become a Herculean task for you.

Refund of what? Your friend na olodo! If you listen to him, you will enter in a trap.

The 3 months after due date, you think it is free? You will still pay the landlord for any extra day you live in that house after the due date.

You should start looking for another apartment that is cheaper than the present one you occupy.

Bro, I’ll advise you hit the ground running, cos time wait for no one and you’ve got about 3 months left. As a Man you’ve got that responsibility. Hit back to the grind and be optimistic. No time to argue with your Landlord.

The real reason they asked you to leave the house is because they feel you will not be able to renew the next rent since you struggled to pay the current one.

That story about your wife not greeting the landlady is just an excuse.

...and by the way anyone telling you that you can spend 6 months in another person's house without paying any rent just because you were given quit notice is talking rubbish! undecided
