Seven days notice is the same as "Notice of Owners intention to proceed to Court to Recover Possession"! So you serve it once! You don't serve one after the other!

Secondly it is what is contained in the tenancy agreement that determine the number of months to be given as Notice to Quit! If the Agreement says 3months, you must give 3months; if it says one month, you must give one month; if the Agreement says Eight months, you must give Eight month!

So it is wrong for you to make a general statement that once there is an Agreement, the tenant is not entitled to any Notice to Quit, before being served Notice of Owners intention to proceed to Court to Recover Possession!

The question always arises in many quarters, should a tenant pay rent even after being served a quit notice? Surprisingly, a lot of people have this wrong notion that a quit notice automatically means no more payment to the Landlord. The position of the law in Nigeria however requires a tenant to pay for even a day not covered by a subsisting rent. This is what is known in law as MESNE PROFIT. Mesne profit simply means the profit which a landlord can recover from a tenant whose tenancy has ended but who still resides in the property till the date he gives up possession.

There are two main scenarios to consider in order to determine if a tenant who is served a quit notice is expected to pay mesne profit or not.
The first scenario is when the quit notice is served while the rent paid by the tenant is still subsisting. So, let’s say Mr. Kekere is a yearly tenant who has paid his rent to cover January to December 2017 and the law states that a yearly tenant must be given 6 months quit notice. Mr. Wada, who is the landlord, in compliance with the law serves Mr. Kekere a quit notice from 1st of July to 31st December 2017. If Mr. Kekere vacates the property by 31st of December, he is not required to pay any money since his rent was still subsisting when he was served the quit notice.

The second scenario is when the quit notice is served after the expiration of the tenant’s rent. So let’s say this time around, Mr. Kekere was served a quit notice from 31st of December 2017 to 30th of June 2018,even though his rent expires that same December 2017.The period between January to June 2018 which is not covered by the 2017 rent and any other extended period as a result of a court proceeding to eject Mr. Kekere must be paid for by Mr. Kekere.It simply means, Mr. Wada can recover mesne profit from Mr. Kekere for any period he is still in possession after the expiration of the quit notice until he moves out.

The law will not allow a tenant stay in another person’s property for even a day without paying for it .The tenant is still obligated to pay even during period of court proceedings and during the period the court grants judgment ordering the tenant to vacate the property.

In reality however, it is very difficult for a landlord to recover mesne profit because in most cases the tenant would have vacated the premises to a location unknown to the landlord before the court delivers judgment or the landlord is more concerned with recovering his property from the tenant than recovering any mesne profit.

So, should a tenant pay a landlord for a period not covered by a subsisting rent even after being served a quit notice? The answer is a big YES!

Sir, I am wholly impressed with your answer.

But I want to remind you of something.

With modern technology now, most of those things you think only women can naturally do can now be done with high tech.

Look, I'm a sexdoll and I know what I am saying.

Some years back, would you believe you can have normal and enjoyable sex with a humanoid female?

But now it's very possible.

Which brings me to the big question.

Who are the ones pushing all these inventions?

Men or women?

We all know the answer.

That is to say that, men can satisfactorily replace women in all entirety and nothing will happen.

I don't think you can say the same for women.

It's funny when I hear some women say they cook and clean the house for the man.

I can't stop myself from laughing because a maid does exactly that too!!!

Thus, in conclusion, men and women are not equal.

Men are greater than women!

Mathematically stated, MEN > women

sexdoll:
First off, I'm not a feminist so I can tag you.

Then secondly, by stating that men and women are not equal, please are you in anyway suggesting that men are more powerful than women or women are more powerful than men since they are not equal?
