Hello Nairalanders,

I need your advice urgently.

I rented a self-contained apartment in Lagos, and my rent is valid until the end of October this year. Just recently, I was informed that the landlord has sold the house.

Now here’s what happened:
• They refunded half of my rent (without my prior agreement),
• And issued me a 3-month notice to vacate.

I never agreed to terminate my tenancy early or to receive a refund — they just gave me the money and served the notice. I feel like I’m being indirectly forced out before the agreed expiration date of my rent.

Please, I want to know:
1. Is this legal under Lagos tenancy law?
2. Can they harass or pressure me out of the house since it’s now sold?
3. What steps can I take if I want to stay until my rent expires in October?

I’ve heard that once rent is paid and acknowledged, even a new landlord must honour the agreement. Is this true?

Please, lawyers and those familiar with Lagos tenancy law, I’d appreciate your input. I don’t want to be bullied or treated unfairly and also 3 months is too short for me

Thanks in advance!

Young man.

You had better get a house and move out.

1. The agreement you signed was with your previous Landlord.
The new landlord has right to do what he he wants with his house.
The documents of that house changed the moment the property was sold. The cover later pf your agreement carried the name of your previous Landlord.

2 You landlord refunding you the money has completely made whatever contract and agreement null and void.
He no longer owns the house and he has also refunded you what he owes you.

3 Those telling you the new Landlord can ask you to leave, let me ask youa question, did you have any documented agreement with your previous that he will transfer your tenancy to your a new owner in a situation like this?

The law is not about emotions the law deals with facts and the fact is that you have no valid contract with the new house owner and the house owner you had an agreement with has paid you and even given more time to leave.

You will be kicked out of the house and nothing will happen

This is our normal road in Nigeria, but abnormal in the US.

Anyway, how many road like this do you see daily in the US? I know that bad road like this is in the US but is not common.

If this is a normal road where you come from, then hold your state and local government.

In Nigeria we have Federal Roads, State Roads and Local Government roads, it is ignorance and lack of basic education that make you lots blame the FG for every pothole you see.

FYI not every part of the country is like this

theredaddy:
Even if they existed as you seek justification for a backward africa the Probability 95% americans will use that road in there lifetime is zero

Those roads are roads to know where in particular BUT come to naija ... main roads commuted by travellers are in terrible state that's the valid difference

I categorically stated that I was not saying its okay to compete with the negative sides.

I don't have time talking with people who don't understand basic English but want to argue...

seguno2:
What % of American roads are like this in your own estimation?

Do we have a similar % of roads like this in Nigeria or Ghana

How old is America and how old I Nigeria or Ghana by your estimation?

He also told his minions something time ago that PDP was the answer

When you tell Nigerians about places like this in the west, they think you lie.

I remember a place during the Biden administration that got electricity for the first time and they are not Amish ohh

I am not saying we should compete with the bad sides but we havw rural places all over the world

As a matter of fact auto makers who make cars called off-roads are not stupid.
They know they have roads like this.
They didn't make those cars for Africa

Liveair:
One thing you can't take away from Amaechi is his sincerity.

So you mean Amaechi was sincere when he said he is hungry
What is wrong with Nigerians?

Ebeano49:
Not true. If there was a decent hospital in Nigeria, his passing would have been a more dignified event. He will be surrounded by his entire family and close confidants. Upon passing, he will not need to be wrapped up like eba and shipped to Nigeria a cold, dark and lonely airplane luggage hold. Very very different!

I said every dead body is a cargo consignment, you said it not true
If your relative dies outside the country you can go ahead and buy him or her a first class ticket.

Dark and lonely cargo space like the grave will have 24 hours light and bunch of friends....

How are are you?

esnbrutality:
The normal protocol is that the family accompanies the body with Federal Government assistance...and a guard of honour will be held to before burial. The question is this..

Where is the wife and SON..who know that the impostor has been extinguished?

All these sakamaje shows explicitly that MNK was right about BUHARI having a BODY DOUBLE.

Shikena

Are you expecting them to be dancing in front of cameras just for you to see or giving press conferences so you can see their faces.

A woman just became a widow and a son just lost a father and you think their priorities should be showing their faces for you a nobody to see.

Have you been seeing their faces before now?

I hope you have children that will run to TikTok and Instagram to do content when you die

How exactly is this news na.
Every dead body is a cargo consignment.

RightChannel:
Where is Aishat buhari, won't she buried her husband?

You are expecting her to bw giving press conference when her husband just died?

Where you young people think from is hard to imagine.
How old are you by the way??

Great man.
Rest in Peace sir

Hmmmm
This is really interesting.
Lets see where this goes

Because David Mark was a senator 16years and nothing was done about that road. Even the road to his own village is not motorable
These are the people that want bring change, these are the people heading the coalition for a better Nigeria
I know Moro in person and I will be highly disappointed if it ia proven that he received the funds and that road is left undone

ddippset:
Oga suspension and expulsion are both removal.

Suspension is temporary removal while Expulsion is permanent removal..

You don't understand English better than I do!

. The constitution supports suspension due to state of emergency.
The constitution doesn't support expulsion.
Get some education

Mitsurugi:
You're actually the joker here sir. I guess you watched Reuben Abati on ARISE talking with both sides of the mouth. Suspension is a temporary removal from duty since you want to speak English. But the crux of the matter is... how legal and constitutional is the removal or suspension of a governor by the President of Nigeria? Not for war, or civil unrest but for a political squabble with his Godfather. We really deserve this country.

Johnathan was not declaring a state of emergency in Borno state, he was gunning for the removal of the governor.
You are just half smart

The only thing you have been known for is fighting Wike.

Not even one bill have you sponsored

Slytiger:
This people see Atiku as the only competitor to Amaechi. Dem no even rate the 3rd guy. Lol.

Last last, Nigeria is a tribal country where everyone wants their kinsman in power

You are heartless,
Who be the 3rd guy,?
Actually these guys will end up helping the Jagaban to win if they don't put their shit together.

The Jagaban of Africa is the best candidate anyways

Ilekokonit:
I remember for FGC Odogbolu when one of my classmates was rude to a teacher and the teacher went to the staff room for re-enforcement and came back with about 7 male teachers armed with thick long canes and they beat the living daylight out of the very strong A level student who still did not stop running his mouth during the beating.

If it was one on one the boy would most likely have defeated the teacher because he was a fighter and never likes losing a fight even to the point of death.

But back to the story, for UK, students are already stabbing teachers to death both male headmasters and female teachers and they are now debating whether teachers should start wearing stab proof vests in the class room.

You be Odogbolu boy.
My nephew attended that school.
Nice school from his experience tho.
He is currently a first class final year student in one of the leading Federal Universities in the country

I sent my nephew a screenshot, here is his reply

wolesmile:
Reading this in the toilet now.

Whenever I start looking for my phone, wifey knows immediately that I want to use the toilet.

Yes its not a good habbit but you will be amazed the number of people who do that.
The toilet is the only one place where you are completely free, you are completely you.
You attention is undivided.
The highest level of privacy.

Let me shock you... I wake up everyday at 4am and I spend about 30 minutes on the toilet sit, thats where I plan my day.

It is inexplicable

PerfectStranger:
What if he smokes in there?

Now I'll be needing 4 more characters to submit my comment.~ My signature guys~

He isn't smoking.
The toilet has a funny way of making you feel free.

This people don't know the difference between REMOVING a governor and SUSPENDING a governor in the case of a state of emergency?

Do they even understand basic English?

Wad it not the same Shettima in the same speech who said the suspension was constitutional?

Just a bunch of jokers unfortunately Nigerians lack basic education to even really understand the rubbish these guys are doing

This is just not right.
The next thing is to take the institution to court.
Someone has to pay.

westside365:
Oga go and sit don for one place jare. With your exposure and so called civilization how have you contributed to the society? Na embezzlement, manipulation and lies. Abeg I no won vex.

you obviously haven't eaten today

I was just watching Uncle Jimi Disu speaking about it a few minutes ago.
what exactly is wrong with we Africans.
These are exotic animals

westside365:
Oga out of all the problems wey full for naija, na the way media carry the news be your only problem. Hmmm na wa o.

Your lack of exposure to civilization and lack of education is the reason you do not know that the media plays a great role every society and it is important how the media plays that role
