@all , finally the tenant is vacating my house at the end of this month after involving police and legal.
I ended up dashing him the three months free, so he can go with his trouble. i pray he get the trouble he's looking for somewhere else.
Thanks so much @everyone

Nazgul:
This is why it's good to have an agreement with the tenant before accepting his money.

Most landlords are just after their rent, they don't care about anything else.

Next time you bring in a tenant, involve your lawyer and ask him to sign an agreement that after the expiration of his rent he'll be given an additional 3 months to either raise the rent or parkout. If he doesn't come up with the rent or parks out after 3 months, you're free to put up the house for rent. And the house shall be locked pending when you'll get a new tenant. When you eventually get one, you remove his things out of your house.

Even if he goes to any court he cannot win because he signed and agreed in the presence of your lawyer to your terms and conditions. So by law you're not in the wrong.

You are very right. Most times, they prefer verbal communication, because they have hidden bad motive. But written and signed agreement is the best. We learn everyday

AntiWailer:
Collect demolition notice from Lagos State Govt. Start with the gate and some part of the fence


Or Drop 4 tippers of sand and block the entrance that you want to renovate


Drop 1 tipper per day until nobody can go in or out again.

If you are not careful, he will live there for years.,

He is ready to stay with the attitude he has been displaying

zed7:
Lol. I had a nuisance tenant who refused to pay for almost 2 years. I got boys who came at 4am to throw out his belongings without any mercy. He kept writing undertaken and when time was up, he defaults.

Some tenants are heartless and should not be treated with kid gloves. His belongings were thrown on the streets. I felt for the wife and kids, unfortunately, their father is irresponsible and everyone paid for his irresponsibility.

The look on the kinds face is heartbroken. But that's the price even innocent children pay for such parents.
I'm too soft when it comes to children.

Simple thing. When going put,lock the gate with diff padlock,both from in and outside
Remove the windows net
Remove the roof ,not the whole roof,but just a small part where better sun and birds can come in
Disconnect nepa
Disconnected water
Travel for 4days.if he no comot,then na oyo

Done ✅. Let him keep staying there for 6 month.

laivwire:
The only way to deal with such tenants is to frustrate them until they leave. It's usually a war of attrition because if you don't, they would continue to stay even beyond the 6 months notice. Bear in mind that their continuous presence is costing you money especially when they choose to be stubborn.

- Cut power.
- Change gate locks arbitrarily and don't give them the key.
- Send notices of rent due every 2 weeks. Never acknowledge the 6 month grace period.
- Disconnect water
- Remove the roof

Exactly what took place today.

Dtruthspeaker:
You have to have strength ooo. That is what it means to be a landlord.

Is it not strength you are going to use to be wicked? So why not even use it the reasonable and lawful proper way?

Get a Lawyer.

I have involve my lawyer

Baronthecelebri:
Use spiritual means,

Someone that is threatened me with juju already. He has told me several times that I don't know who he is and what he can do diabolically.

Peakdesign23:
Why are people so wicked? If he's passing through some problems he should speak up, I think you should look for the church he's attending and talk to his pastor. If it didn't work, inform the police. What nonsense!

Alright.

The church part, I don't know his current church. He hardly goes to church

Badca81:
Your case dey similar to my neighbour's own.
Honestly if the tenant goes to court after the three months he will still get extra months again like three more months. This I have seen before. The only alternative is to involve a lawyer so that everything will be in due process. I guess you don't have one because if not your tenant wouldn't say that at all . If you had a lawyer from the beginning he would have served him quite notice prior immediately his rent had expired for a duration of three months.

I guess your tenant is troublesome because na only those ones they reach six months.

Maybe I will start my renovation immediately, if he decides to stay for three months, no wahala. If he will be comfortable, then no prob

Have you ever had an experience with a tenant who has refused to evict a house even after the rent expiration?
Despite all the notifications and reminders?
Someone you told a year before and you kept on reminding him.
What's the best option for such a tenant who is threatened you the house owner that he is free to stay for another period of 6 month after his rent expiration, claiming he is yet to find another house to move to. That it's in Nigeria constitution.
He has stayed for free for three months already.
What would you advise?

beyep:
Court n police will get order to remove the fella

I don't have strength for court and police right now.
Is like I'm going to act like a wicked person too

Namaster:
It's NOT illegal to renovate your own house.
Give him a notice IF you like.

The reason he's DRAGGING your own house with you is because he expects you to act like a REASONABLE person.

Don't!

Namaster:
REMOVE the roof!

So many people suggested that. But I don't know if it's questionable by the law

Kobojunkie:
According to what Law? What State's tenancy Law are you attempting to reference in this case?

I don't know. But that what he said

KaLuCh:
Hi... Why do you want him to move? That will help determine your next course of action.

For the purpose of renovation

Some of you have lovely mothers, wives, sisters, girlfriends and daughters, but once you come online, you address women as if you have never experienced love of a woman before.
@op, so you don't know this could be a case of mental disorder?

Hello NairaLanders,

What does Nigeria law say about property sharing among couple during or after divorce.

For instance, does the 50-50 sharing formula automatically apply to every divorce. What if the man had already acquired like 80% of the wealth before he married the woman?

Also, will the woman have to provide evidence that she was part of the wealth or property acquisition before a certain percentage can be allocated to her?

Is there no other way to make it work anymore? Have you try separation for a while Incase you both ended up missing each other and want to make it work? I'm just thinking out loud though

Marriage is not a child's play. Impersonation is a crime. Being desperate, marrying someone who doesn't want to make that commitment with you is fraud.

Everyone deserve the opportunity to make that decision and take that step without anyone pressurizing them to do so.

There's no society that's developed today that was ethnically and racially heterogeneous at the time of its development. Other cultural traits contribute to development, but without a dominant ethnic/racial group, it's very very difficult to achieve.

Yes. You're right

aswani:
You didn't have a friendship.

I myself have Obidients and President Tinubu supporters as childhood friends, we never hid our allegiances and had robust discussions.

Not once did it stop us visiting or helping each other then or now.

I'm not sure you understood what I meant

Sad
It's so pathetic. We tends to embrace every modern invention, but we don't pay attention to details on ways of effective usage for our safety.

We have zero value for human life in this place. Too sad.

To all the families of the victims, may the Lord console you.

Gerrard59:
The Chinese are a monolithic and dominant ethnic group (Han Chinese) wherever they are - Mainland China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau and in Malaysia where they dominate the major sectors of the economy. In Malaysia, they consider themselves first before ethnic Malays. The Malays in turn dominate politics and use the political power to crave benefits for themselves. The Chinese Malaysian saving grace is that they have nearby Singapore (Chinese-dominated) to store their wealth, ease of becoming a permanent resident/naturalised citizen and as Mainland China grew economically, they had a big brother to protect them and participate in a much bigger economy. Chinese in Indonesia suffered from ethnic riots there, so those in Thailand and Malaysia learnt their lessons.

Humans are tribal. Just that, in my opinion, others developed their lands/countries alongside their tribalism.

I'm sure what's he's trying to say is, Despite all, they collectively develope their countries. They can't have bad leadership for many years and they will all keep quiet.

It is only a shallow minded person that will narrow my post to Tinibu and peter Obi sinero.
Nigeria is a big country with too many intelligent people. We are blessed. We have all it takes.
The poverty level is too high compared to as before.

When it comes to electing a leader, we are supposed to collectively choose a person with more positive results, good approach, intelligent, strong, bold without international scandal and if he goes there and fail us, we stand up in one voice again and vote him out, not minding religion and tribe.

Once our leaders discovered we are intelligent and knows what we wants as a nation, they will no longer victimize us. Every leader will eventually begin to act right.

We the masses are the very problem of this country. We support every wrong and we try to adapt to every hardship and difficult situations at the expense of each other.

We don't collectively ask for explanation for anything, we just adjust and fit in.
Tribalism and religion wouldn't let us think and behave right.

Why is this annoying me?
This is because, we individually make our separate choices base on whatsoever that motivated us, but when it's time for the consequence, we all faced it together.

Isn't it obvious that we are supposed to be united and collectively be in one voice?
The same way an Hausa man is finding it difficult, is the same with a youruba man.

Factcheck0001:
u are actually a stupid person
U don't even know who he is whether he's abroad or a multimillionaire but simply because he's not supporting your fraud then his family's are suffering

U are dumb

That insult is actually meant for you. Besides, I don't even respond to people who are eager to throw insult on Facebook Less forum because in real life, you may not even try it.
Is there any multi-millionair as you claim in this country, that his/her family members are not being affected? What's your definition of family members?
Or you are trying to be dumb?

Factcheck0001:
what makes u feel your tribal person will b d messiah?

Where did I mention my tribal person in my write up? The same problem is what is limiting us. What's up with this tribal war in your heart? Alot of you tends to narrow everything to tribal war and at the end, we remain at the same spot for many years.

Love have gone into extinction ever since. People do relationship for what they can benefit now, not to make each other a better person anymore. Our society is really sick

May those with the right intentions, find true love. My prayers

UltraSolid:
It does not matter. They get the chance to vote differently in 2027 if that is their wish. You are just talking like most crude Nigerians who want to decieve others they mean yet they are undemocratic, wicked and violent.

Should people be, jailed, beaten or killed because of election choices they made because I don't understand your incoherent talk here. Democracy is about respecting the choice of others. Anyone who does not understand that concept, or has a problem with it, is likely an IPOB layabout or cannibal. The sort Brutally and dictatorially killing people because they disobey Sit-at-home garbage.

I don't think you understand my write up. Let me walk away.
Our problem is plenty.

yarimo:
when you were paying house rent #50k do you think at that time everyone can afford it?

Is too obvious now. I shouldn't be the one telling you. I'm sure you're aware. So many of you civil servants, your salary in a year can't even pay your house rent right now. compare to before.

UltraSolid:
You people are just undemocratic elements and sore losers. Folks are allowed to vote for their candidate off choice. Someone who understands the tenets of democracy won't bee renting as you and OP are.

Stop acting as if you're enjoying offline. Some of you are die hard fan for nothing. Tribalism will not take you anywhere
