There are several factors and considerations that determine where people buy properties from. Just like every human endeavor, location is a key factor that determines the price of a product and the possibility or otherwise of making profit. Conventional wisdom demands that One invests or buys a property from an area that Is already developed or near the city centre. A plot of land or a property in such areas are usually very expensive. I was somewhere in Ikeja sometime ago and I was told the asking price for a plot of land there was in the neighborhood of two hundred and forty Million naira i.e almost a million pounds! I think this experience made me to ask in one of my essays whether the prevailing price of real estate in Nigeria is sustainable.

One does not begrudge anybody who spends his hard earned money anyway s/he wants by preferring to buy a property in a so-called posh area or near a bubbling commercial centre. My take is that some of the places we call 'town' or 'city' were once bushes or villages. It probably took a government policy, the location of a government institution, a school or a public infrastructure to transform a village to a city. Envision the now Federal Capital Territory (Abuja). Thirty years ago, that place was a typical village. Fast forward to 2014, Abuja is now a mega city for the creme de la creme of our society.

In Lagos state, Lekki axis was renowned for its swampy soil but it seems that is where the action is now. With the proposed Free Trade Zone, Airport etc been cited in the Ibeju-Lekki-Epe axis, you must have a deep pocket to buy a plot of land around that area now. This reminds me of a story I heard which suffices: some land owners sold some acres of very swampy land to somebody thinking they got a good deal since in their estimation, the land was 'useless'. Several years later, the person that bought the land was able to sand fill it and started developing the place. Guess what happened? The original land owners started making trouble with this man when they discovered that the place they gave away for fifty thousand naira per plot is now worth about ten million naira per plot. The original land owners saw their land as useless but the person that acquired it saw what they could not see. That is the power of foresightedness. One is amazed at the astuteness, foresightedness of the likes of Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu (Snr), Thomas Odukoya (Eleganza) considering the choice properties, plots of land they amassed in and outside Lagos State.

Why i want you to take advantage of this plots of land, is because it has development value and will also yield good returns if you invest in it, now that is cheap.
A plot is #700,000.(Seven Hundred Thousand Naira).

The purpose of this essay is to provoke you to think outside the box while buying a real estate. The same place they say is a swamp, a village etc has the potential to be a mega city tomorrow.

10 TIPS OF LANDLORD-TENANTS RELATIONSHIP YOU NEED TO KNOW.


Most residents give little thought to how they communicate with their property manager or landlord. Considering that nearly 35 percent of Americans currently reside in approximately 40 million rental units throughout the country, it is surprising that so few of us really understand how to communicate effectively with our landlords.

Almost every one of these landlord-tenant relationships last a minimum of one year and some last many years, even decades.

The relationship that you enjoy with your landlord can directly impact your lifestyle, comfort, image and financial standing. Establishing a positive and healthy relationship with your landlord can go a long way in helping you live in the best conditions possible, getting you the fastest responses to maintenance requests, and keeping your rental rates reasonable.

The following are some quick tips that can go a long way in helping to maintain and improve landlord-tenant relations:

During your rental search

1. Know what your expectations are before searching for a property. If your requirements aren’t offered at a particular property, then move on. Don’t expect a landlord to add an unreasonable amount of amenities or upgrades to an existing rental. There are often other units available that will meet all of your needs.

2. Submit completely accurate rental applications regardless of your shortcomings. Do not overstate your income or lie about credit problems. Landlords are increasingly open to working with challenged credit. Providing a clear explanation as to why your credit has suffered and expressing your desire to improve the situation will go a long way to sway a decision.

We always recommend a prewritten letter with this information be sent with the rental application, as it shows some planning and thought went into your process. Lying on an application is almost always grounds for denial or later termination of a lease.

3. Ask the right questions. Those questions are the ones most important to you. In most cases, landlords and agents are not required to disclose some information that may be important to you. Do not be shy when searching for a home to rent. Ask as many questions as necessary to make sure that you are comfortable with the decision you are making.

4. Get it in writing. If a landlord has promised a repair, new carpet, new appliances, or anything else will be done as a condition of your lease, then be absolutely sure to get it in writing, preferably on the lease document. Anything less opens up the chance for miscommunication and leaves an opening for problems.

I can’t remember how many times I’ve spoken to tenants who were “promised new carpeting” at some point during their tenancy and did not get it. Promises don’t get things done. Written agreements do.

5. Read your lease completely. This is an important process. You are making legally binding guarantees regarding payments, upkeep, repairs, etc. Read it thoroughly before you sign it. If possible, ask for a copy the day before signing the lease so that you have enough time to read and think about any potential questions.

Move-in time

6. Complete or request a walk-through to assess any existing wear or damage. This will alleviate many disputes at the time of move-out. Make sure this is done thoroughly and ask for a copy for your records.

7. Make sure that you know all of the pertinent property information (utility info, garbage day, mailbox number, instructions for alarms, entry systems, sprinkler systems, homeowners association rules, etc.).

By collecting all of this information upfront you can eliminate several calls to your landlord over the first weeks of tenancy. When landlords receive a flood of calls from a new tenant they instantly start to think of that tenant as high maintenance. This puts an instant strain on the relationship and can set up future problems.

An effective landlord should provide this information for the same reason, but many do not. By collecting all of this at the time of move-in you can avoid that unnecessary contact.

8. Make sure that you know the exact process for contacting your landlord in case of any questions or repair issues. Every landlord is different and each has a process for dealing with tenant inquiries.

You are best served to ask exactly how the landlord would like to be contacted. Don’t assume that texting or calling is the preferred or most effective option. By following the landlord’s preferred process you instantly become “easier to work with” than the tenant who contacts the landlord by some other means.

Landlords are also likely to respond more quickly to those who operate the way that they prefer to operate.

During your tenancy

9. Pay your rent on time. That’s easy enough when everything is going well, but what about when things are not? Your best option is to contact the landlord as soon as you see a problem arise, and work out an agreement to get on track. Very few landlords will want to evict a tenant who they believe honestly wants to pay but is having a short-term problem.

The worst option is silence. A nonpaying, noncommunicating tenant will and should be dealt with harshly.

10. Be reasonable with your requests. Most landlord-tenant issues that don’t involve money center around tenant maintenance requests that they feel are not handled adequately by their landlords.

There are many cases where the tenants are absolutely in the right and landlords have neglected their duty to provide clean, safe housing. However, in many other instances the requests made by tenants are completely unreasonable, and by utilizing a bit of patience and thought these issues can be resolved reasonably.

Handle very minor issues on your own. Almost any tenant can replace a light bulb, furnace filter, or smoke detector battery. They can tighten a door knob or put a closet door back on its track. However, these types of tiny issues constitute a huge number of service calls and maintenance costs for landlords.

If you have small issues and can’t handle them on your own, then wait until a larger problem arises that truly requires service and ask if those smaller items can be addressed as well at that time, saving multiple service trips. If you have a non-emergency issue, don’t require that it be handled on an emergency time frame.

There are many factors out of the landlord’s control that go into how quickly an issue can be resolved, including vendor schedules, time of day/week, weather, travel time, etc. Tenants need to take these factors into account and try to understand that your landlord wants to resolve your issues and wants you to be a happy tenant, as it is in their best interest.

Above all else, it’s important to remember that you are ultimately dealing with another human being. If you are speaking with a property manager or maintenance tech you are dealing with someone who can choose to help you or ultimately push your concerns aside. Your goal should be to get your questions answered and problems resolved, not to make as much noise as possible.

By portraying yourself as an honest tenant, preparing yourself for your tenancy up front, educating yourself on your lease terms and rules, and making reasonable requests using the proper channels, it is very likely that you will have a happier and more successful relationship with your landlord and a more pleasant stay in your rental property.

Landlord and tenant relationship is an association between two individuals arising from an agreement by which one individual occupies the other’s real property with permission, subject to a rental fee.

The term landlord refers to a person who owns property and allows another person to use it for a fee. The person using the property is called a tenant. The agreement between a landlord and a tenant is called a lease or rental agreement.

The landlord and tenant relationship has its roots in Feudalism, a system of land use and ownership that flourished in Europe between the tenth and thirteenth centuries. Under feudalism, land was owned and controlled by a military or political sovereign ruler. This ruler gave portions of land he or she owned to another person, called a lord. The lord, in turn, could allow another person, called a vassal, to use smaller portions of the lord’s land. The vassal pledged allegiance and military or other service to the lord in exchange for the right to live and work on the land.

In 1066, the Normans of France conquered England, and William the Conqueror installed himself as king.King William used the feudal framework of land control to retain political power in faraway lands.Feudalism as a means of political control became obsolete by the fourteenth century, but the hierarchical system of land use and ownership remained.

The contemporary landlord and tenant relationship derives from the relationship between the lord and the vassal. However, today the landlord is the owner of the property—not, like the feudal lord, merely the manager. The tenant is similar to the vassal because the tenant does not own the property but is allowed to use it for a fee.

The landlord and tenant relationship usually refers to a living arrangement. In this respect landlord and tenant law differs from the law regarding leases. In a landlord and tenant relationship, the parties are often referred to as lessor (landlord) and lessee (tenant). Because living arrangements are vital to human existence, landlord and tenant relationships are treated differently from lease contracts.

Generally, a landlord and tenant relationship exists if (1) the property owner consents to occupancy of the premises; (2) the tenant acknowledges that the owner has title to the property and a future interest in the property; (3) the owner actually has title to the property; (4)the tenant receives a limited right to use the premises; (5) the owner transfers possession and control of the premises to the tenant; and (6) a contract-to rent exists between the parties.

A rental contract may be implied under the law. That is, landlord and tenant law may apply even in the absence of a written and signed rental agreement between the owner of the property and the person living on the property. Whether a court will imply a relationship depends on the facts of the case. The court will look at a number of factors, including the owner’s consent to occupancy of the property, the length of the occupancy, and the exchange of monies, goods, or services. A court’s finding that a landlord and tenant relationship exists between two or more persons is significant because the law places duties on both parties in such a relationship.

Traditionally, landlord and tenant law was favorable to landlords. Courts resolved disputes between landlords and tenants according to strict contract and property principles, and tenants often were forced to pick up and move without notice or an opportunity to present an argument to a court. Also, landlords had no obligation to maintain the premises, and many tenants were forced to live in uninhabitable conditions.

In the twentieth century, as urban populations increased and workers became more specialized, landlord and tenant law was forced to change. Typical tenants were no longer as handy at making repairs as were tenants in previous years. They worked long hours, they did not have the time to maintain premises, and building designs and utilities were more complex than before. These developments made maintenance a specialized task that could be carried out only by the landlord.

Before the 1960s, landlords were not required to rent out properties that were fit for habitation. Landlords could rent filthy, rat infested apartments lacking basic amenities. Although no one was physically forced to live in such an apartment, for many persons it was the only kind they could afford.

Generally, landlords must deliver the rented premises to the tenant at the beginning of the tenancy, and must disclose to the tenant any potential dangers and defects in the premises. The length of the tenancy should be set out in the rental agreement. If no term is written into the agreement, courts will usuallydeem the tenancy to be month to month. This means that either party must give the other one month’s written notice before terminating the tenancy.

The cost of rent is usually governed by market forces, which means that it is usually dictated by what landlords in a similar area charge. Local laws in some urban areas, such as New York City, provide for rent control. Rent control laws limit the amount of rent that a landlord may charge a tenant. Most rent control laws, however, put limits on the amount that a landlord may increase the rent. A landlord may raise rent during a rental period only with sufficient notice to a tenant. The terms of this notice are usually set forthin statutes or ordinances.

A concept related to quiet enjoyment is the tenant’s right to reasonable use of the premises. Landlordsmay not substantially interfere with this right. Whether actions by the landlord substantially interfere witha tenant’s reasonable use of the premises is determined by the facts of the case. To illustrate, assume thata tenant rents an apartment and works there repairing electronic equipment. The landlord’s refusalto allow the tenant to conduct such activity may constitute substantial interference of a reasonable use.If, however, the tenant uses the premises to mix explosive materials, the landlord may have the right to interfere because such a use is unreasonable.

If a landlord is found to have interfered with a tenant’s quiet enjoyment or reasonable use of thepremises, the tenant may recover damages.The measure of damages varies by jurisdiction. Usually, thetenant will not have to pay rent for the period of interference, and the tenant may seek damages for anylosses caused by the interference.

There are several reciprocal duties between landlords and tenants. A landlord must keep the premises in good repair, but the tenant must not damage the premises. The tenant must leave the premises in theiroriginal condition, accounting for reasonable wear and tear, or risk losing the security deposit (called damages in many places). A security deposit is money deposited by the tenant with the landlord to guarantee the tenant’s performance under the lease. If the tenant damages the premises, the landlordmay keep the security deposit and sue the tenant for damages not covered by the deposit.

A landlord must give a tenant notice to vacate the premises if the landlord wishes to rent the premises to another tenant. The landlord may not do this during a rental period. For example, if a tenant has signed a lease for one year, the landlord may not force the tenant to move until the end of the year. If the leaseperiod expires and the landlord has not found a new tenant and has not issued a new lease to thepresent tenant, the present tenant may be allowed to stay on the premises on a month-to-month basis.

If the tenant plans to move during a rental period, the tenant must give at least a one-month writtennotice to the landlord. If the tenant fails to give notice to the landlord and leaves the premises, the tenantmay be responsible for future rental payments. However, in this situation, the landlord is under a duty to take reasonable steps to find another tenant. This is called the duty to mitigate damages. Once thelandlord finds another tenant, or the original lease expires, the tenant’s duty to pay expires.

If the lease period expires and the landlord has found a new tenant, but the present tenant refuses to leave the premises, the landlord may sue the present tenant for damages if the landlord could be chargingthe new tenant more rent. The landlord may also have the tenant evicted by filing suit in court. Such a suit is called a wrongful or Unlawful Detainer. Unlawful detainers are governed by statute and may be based on damage to the property, nonpayment of rent, or unforeseen changes in the economic conditionsof the landlord.

A tenant may avoid eviction for nonpayment of rent by paying the past due rent along with any filingcosts incurred by the landlord. If the tenant is unable to pay rent before the court date, the tenant canstill present defenses to the eviction in court. For example, the tenant may argue that the rent is not duebecause the landlord failed to make necessary repairs. If the tenant is unable to defend successfully thefailure to pay rent, the court will order the tenant to vacate the premises by a certain date in the nearfuture. In order to collect the unpaid rent, thelandlord usually must file a separate action against thetenant.

Sometimes the action or inaction of a landlord may constitute a constructive eviction. A constructiveeviction occurs when the landlord has made living on the premises unbearable or impossible. For example,assume that a landlord has refused to provide some basic amenities to rented premises. This constitutes a constructive eviction, and the tenant is not liable for rent.

A tenant may give his or her rights as a tenant to another person. This is called an assignment, and it is permissible unless the landlord objects or unless it is prohibited in the rental agreement. If a tenantassigns his or her rights, the tenant is still responsible for the payment of rent. In essence the recipient of the rental rights, or assignee, is a tenant of the original tenant, and there is no legal relationship betweenthe assignee and the landlord.

Courts often examine lease agreements for unconscionability. Unconscionable agreements are ones thatunduly favor one party over the other. For example, assume that a rental agreement calls for the paymentof damages to the landlord if the tenant leaves the apartment without sufficient notice. If the courtconsiders the amount of damages to be too high, it may reduce the damages owed to the landlord.

Some lease agreements allow either party to break the agreement, and specify an amount of damages that the breaching party must pay to the other in the event of breach. Landlord-tenant relationships governed by such agreements are called tenancies at sufferance. Courts usually examine these agreements to ensure that they are not unconscionable.

Landlords are under no obligation to rent to tenants. However, under the Fair Housing Act of 1968, they may not refuse to rent based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
