DealPickers:
Fact:
you are entitled to a six months notice which could be served at anytime as long as it expires at a time when your rent has expired.
The notice given to you is apparently inadequate.
If you don't have the money to move now before January, you don't have to do anything, just be saving your money. He cannot use self help to evict you or throw your things out. That's illegal and a crime which he could be arrested for. If he harrasses you in any way, disconnects your electricity or water, even after January, just go to the police station and report. You are a sitting tenant, with rights to peaceable possession, even when your rent is due within not more than 1 year. The law protects you.
If by January you have not left, he will go to the police station at Anthony to report you. They will advise him on what to do, that is give you proper clear 6 months notice, before they can do anything. Those police guys are nice and don't like dealing with rent matters. I know that first hand.

If you want to fight it, you stand a good chance for that extra time. The law is clear, if you're a yearly tenant your 6 months notice should be neat and complete. You don't need to get a lawyer to respond. Dont even respond. The lawyer that prepared that notice is either ignorant or just trying his luck with scare tactics.

But if you don't want wahala and you have the money to move, just walk away.

You can contact me for more free advise.

Oga,
wetin concern police for Notice to Quit? Is the tenant a criminal or did he infringe on the landlords right?
Is Notice to Quit no longer the prerogative of the landlord?
And why is he going to contact you for more free advice? The one you have given him here is enough to stay clear off your type.

jumpandpas:
Since you pay annually, the law permits 6 months. This six months is not for free oo, the law states that you also pay for those months but you can negotiate it with your landlord.


MY FINAL ADVICE

If you have money just park out.

The law permits six months... YES. But it only applies in the absence of a signed tenancy agreement.
If the tenant signed one, then the law will honor the agreement signed.

ojive:
By Law it depends on the agreement you signed when renting the apartment.. If its a normal one year agreement it should state you have six months before vacating the house, However if you guys still go to court the six month will be giving to you but you will be asked to pay for the six month till the date you vacate because no law states the landlord should not collect his money except the landlord decided to let go of the money for that six month you will be giving to get another apartment.
But most Nigerians think the six months is free, My brother its not free ooo, the law will ask you to pay till date but in a convenient manner, its just for you to have enuf time to move around and get another apartment but on the day of vacation you would have paid the six month giving.

So its just of no use going to court because the money you will use to get an advocate and the stress involve don't worth it. just try sit your landlord down and talk him through to consider the fact that you are a young guy and he should give you time to move or just come to an agreement sha.

Best of Luck

I was just thinking if there are no longer enlightened Nigerians on NL dealing on property law and all that.
Thanks for your comment.
OP,
The agreement you signed supersede all other laws when it comes to letting a property. That is why you need to take your time before you sign any tenancy agreement.
From the look of things it seems your agreement stated one month Notice to quit, if that's the case, please no need dragging issues unless you have money to throw around.
Just settle amicably with the landlord.
Good luck.

stagger:
Very much so, as well as A.K. Togun.

As well as Burba Marwa... rumours had it that it was him who actually delivered the letter to Dele's residence.

ForestFontana:
Getting his passport shouldn’t be a problem. It’s possible when he got out of Nigeria, he possibly went to a British high commission in another country and got his passport done for him. This is very likely

How did he even leave Nigeria in the first place?

If to say them no shout una for sell the thing.
Let Nigerians OBIdiently ATIKUlate in 2019.

Will you OBIdiently ATIKUlate in 2019

The thing don turn rocket science after all

Alexk2:
if this joke and mockery will end with Buhari, it'll be reasonably understood but unfortunately, the joke won't go away after him because things like this goes in circles. What you guys fail to understand is that this is a mockery of our country and institutions and not on the Buhari; not even on the presidency. What we don't reject now, will be a normal child's play in the future under either a PDP or APC government. May God help us.

If Buhari didn't make it so obvious that he is using the security institutions under him to cajole and intimidate perceived enemies, I doubt the mockery will get to this level.
Fine, Fayose maybe corrupt. But what has Buhari and EFCC done about so many APC stalwarts fingerëd in corruption allegations?
You can try to exonerate Buhari all you want, but one thing is clear. That he has rubbished and continue to rubbish all the institutions under him.

Mankosi:
Where they get the gun from? Don't tell me that guy is actually a police man

He is actually a Mobile policeman. That's why he is even covering his face.

arsenalLUVA:
I don't know if this is akin to bravery but this's so puerile. Nigerian politicians are a joke.

The picture shows he packed a bag because he is expecting the worse (arrest).
Or will you prefer a media trial where EFCC,,, will come like a thief in the night to cart him away?
