Is The New Lagos Tenancy Law Working? by shinystar(m): 6:00pm On Nov 01, 2011 |
Just wondering if this new law is working at all. Are there tenants that have tested the law? Any conviction or prosecution? Or are there tricks landlords are devising to beat the law? |

I am yet to see results. It is still a seller's market. |

Na wao! |
Re: Is The New Lagos Tenancy Law Working? by shinystar(m): 10:24pm On Nov 01, 2011 |
Maybe it's because tenants are too scared to make reports or something. By now, there should have been conviction or prosecution. |

It's working! Majority of landlords now take one year rent as against the formal mandatory two yrs. It's a gradual thing |

personally i think most landlord (at least the educated ones) have seen that this law even favors them. most of these guys have collected 2yrs rent in the past and know that waiting for 2yrs to see revenue from an investment is not fun i'd rather have a sure inflow yearly on a property.that way i have more control on how soon i can terminate a bad contract, if the market moves and an increase in rent is justifiable i'm not tied to a 2yr contract that prevents me from benefiting from that movt |

The rent is for one year now but the cost is almost the amount being paid for two years 6months ago! So who is wiser? |
Re: Is The New Lagos Tenancy Law Working? by highland(m): 10:53am On Nov 02, 2011 |
it reveals how weak our govt goes about the business of law making and implementation. |
Re: Is The New Lagos Tenancy Law Working? by DAY12(m): 11:05am On Nov 02, 2011 |
funmeme: I don't believe you, I have so many vacant 2br flat in lekki right now for just 1yr rent only. Let your friend call me asap. |

Most landlords, I gather, have exploited the law by hiking the amount to be paid for one year's rent. They now charge the same money of 2 years for one year. How can you explain what I learnt that a 3 bedroom in yaba is going for 750k. |
Re: Is The New Lagos Tenancy Law Working? by kufreabasi(m): 11:56am On Nov 02, 2011 |
The new law does not have any effect on landlords and their agent at all instead it is getting worst everyday. Imagine a small dirty room i went to rent, i was asked to pay N4000 of each and two years with aggreement and commission N50k + N50k. I even begged for one year, i was told to go and meet Fashola to give me house. Surulere landlords and their agents are wicked |
Re: Is The New Lagos Tenancy Law Working? by walcolm(m): 12:11pm On Nov 02, 2011 |
initiator: thats not entirely true, my apartment in yaba was 1 million almost 2yrs ago. yeah 3bedroom flat that had nothing to do with tenancy law and i saw many apartments like that in the yaba axis that are priced at a premium |
Re: Is The New Lagos Tenancy Law Working? by walcolm(m): 12:13pm On Nov 02, 2011 |
funmeme: lekki Ikoyi, VI and Ikeja i believe are some of the areas exempt from the 2yr tenancy law |
Re: Is The New Lagos Tenancy Law Working? by cynclara: 12:21pm On Nov 02, 2011 |
It was already at work at Lekki before it was made a law so question is: is it working in the mainland? |
Re: Is The New Lagos Tenancy Law Working? by llexie: 12:31pm On Nov 02, 2011 |
