Salisu, who spoke to journalists from his hospital bed in the accident and emergency area of the General Hospital, Katsina said they were on break when they heard gunshots and ran to see what happened when he was hit by the bullets from the Customs officers.

what you no run inside for your life you wan go see, thank God for your life

Boss13:
I will try to answer your question without expressing arrogance. However, before I proceed, I think I have stated in a previous comment that it is important to read agreements before signing. If your Tenancy agreement stipulates certain conditions, you are obligated to comply with such agreement. Our argument on this thread is based on situations where there are no stipulated obligations between Landlord and Tenants and that area is blurred. In that circumstances, I shall proceed to answer your question

Question 1 - In some houses, I don’t know the one you live in, before you open the light bulb casing, you must inform the Landlord or Estate management Company or their representatives. In fact, a mere escalation of the damage prompts them to send their service/maintenance manager to resolve or replace the light bulb. I know in the average houses in Nigeria, the tenant replaces the bulb. In fact, the tenant don’t even get to meet a bulb in the house before he/she occupies the house. So they buy a new one and replace them when damaged.

Question 2 - Have you ever heard of Building insurance before? The Landlord is responsible to take our insurance for his/her building to mitigate these kind of risk. Also, have you ever heard of Tenancy/Content Insurance before? The Tenant is expected to take our an insurance to protect them of their own content (that is their own property). Some Landlords won’t rent or lease out to you if you don’t have this insurance. Some many ignore it. However, I know many houses, especially on the mainland don’t even have insurance and don’t encourage their tenant to have one. In fact, insurance is weird thing in Nigeria.

Question 3 is a useless question, out of context and unrelated to the main topic. Nonetheless, to answer this useless question of yours - if the building has a comprehensive insurance, the insurance company will cater for incident cause by 3rd parties. However, if this is not cover, the perpetrator should repair the fence.

I have onced lived in a house with a bad landlord and Shitty lease agreement. After our toxic relationship, which I made sure he suffered equally like he made me suffer, I promised myself never to ignore things. Read your lease agreement and where you are not clear, draw the attention of your landlord or their representatives to such matter. Also, know your rights and if you are not clear about your Tenancy rights, ask your lawyer.

Thanks for your response, an aware of all you talked about but more importantly am also aware of the place in question is a part of Nigeria or probably Lagos and Europe or other advance countries one day we get there

May I let you know even when you fail to sign a tenancy agreement you are guarded by the Lagos State tenancy law (please read it up)
You will understand the position of the law as regards the question at hand and also not he does not pay for service charge

And for the various insurance you mentioned, even if the landlord have all the insurance in-law which is not common in Nigeria due to various facts raging from Nigeria's insurance company to we Nigerian ,that does not still indemnity the tenant of damages due negligence , the insurance company with come for him

ENEONWO:
My friend don't mind those castigating you and urging you pay. Every rent includes house maintenance fee. Maintenance charge is not same as utility charge. If before you packed in, there was water supply to the estate and you probably preferred that place because you were informed that there is water, the landlord has to keep providing it. The much you can do is to pay for fuelling the generator when there is no NEPA light. It is the landlord's responsibility to maintain his house, and its fittings. That's one of the reasons why you pay rent. If you continue to pay like that, one day, electric pole will fall and you will pay to replace it; fence will collapse and you will pay, gate will get old and you will pay. Landlord has that responsibility to provide the facilities and maintain them, while the tenant has the responsibility for settling the running cost (fuelling).

Please get inform Google the Lagos State tenancy law and read it
Stop ignorantly giving him and other wrong advice that will create big problem, as for the gate and fence you mentioned if it collapsed due to natural disasters, wear and tear, low quality material e.t.c the landlord is liable , BUT IF IT COLLAPSED DUE TO HIS DIRECT ACTION eg: knock it with his car or the car of his friends e.t.c he is liable

Reelmii:
he should not pay for the repair until a proper account is given on the monthly contribution paid by each tenants, if the contribution was used for something worth while, then there is need for him to contribute, but if the landlord can't give a good account on how the money was spent, he should be made to repair the bore hole

You are mixing up things and try not to. Take it one by one

Reelmii:
u are not making any point, because all that u just used for example is different from amenities dat a landlord had guranteed u before u took the house only for u to move in and u are left to bear the consequences, what does the landlord do with their monthly contribution, 500 multiplied by almost 30 tenants?

You fail to see the point you mean

No LANDLORD guarantee his house , their is a difference between guarantee and tenancy

Please also note in this type of discussion if we have not heard from the other party (the landlord) it will be wise to be guarded and not jump to conclusions , for you to comment on the monthly 500 you need more information about
So let stay focus SHOULD HE PAY FOR THE REPAIR OR NOT (please note not even the money allocated )

Lastly all the three questions are examples of rental agreement

Boss13:
Very true - someone was distinguishing fixtures from fittings and ironically saying the Landlord is responsible for fixtures and tenants, responsible for fittings. When fixtures and fittings are actually the same thing, a word used together for small items in buildings.

When you can argue from the principle of ownership

- Who owns the asset?

The Landlord owns the building and all accessories, fixtures and fittings to the building

- Who enjoys the proceeds from owning the asset?

The Landlord enjoys rent proceedings from owning the building

- Without the Asset, will the owner enjoy any benefit?

Without pumping machine, there will be no water and tenants will not rent the property. The Landlord stands to lose income as a result of this.

Hence, as a result of his/her incident to ownership, he/she must fix and maintain the asset.

However, because Nigeria is a place where the rights of people are not respected, it is better to behave and avoid problems from draconian Landlords.

You think you are right I please ask you these questions

1. The bulb in your room stopped working due to your usage, please who should replace it THE LANDLORD OR YOU (note you pay your rent regularly but no service charge)

2. While cooking in the kitchen you gas cylinder explode and burn down section of the house also not you pay your rent regularly

3.lastly you paid someone to use his car while driving the car you knock down a fence with the car PLEASE WHO WILL TAKE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THE FENCE
