Emekus receive healing for this tribalism illness.

Say no to bigotary
Now that is funny! grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Anyway, the short-term, immediate solution of filling the place up, will make it motorable for a few weeks.
But we need to have a long-term, wholistic look at the problem.

I am not Ibo but l do travel across the country so, EVERYONE is affected, not just Ibos.... and it is everyone's problem.

Let us begin to plant Trees with long Roots along these areas that are erosion-prone.
Let us plant grasses that can "break" surface water run-off
Let us build gutters and water drainages so that we dont have run-offs on roads
Let us invest in landscaping to check unusual land gradients that encourage deluge of water.


A three year development plan will solve this problem once and for all.

Even looking at the post of Abagworo, you can note that his post was absolutely spot-on.
The best way to stop this erosion menace is TO PREVENT IT ...... not by wasting money in filling-up a sink-hole!

You plant trees to prevent "run-off surface water" and the roots of the trees will hold the lose-soil together to prevent leaching.
This is what he posted but because he is not Ibo, you'all are attacking him.


If a whole tribe cannot tell itself the truth, it should at least be able to listen to it, when it comes from outside sources.

If you like, fill the place with soil, it will still get washed away by the next rain.

Anyway, this is Nairaland where every "Gala-seller in traffic" thinks they are an authority in everything. undecided undecided

I think they should sell all their houses in lagos and go use the money to sort out their problems in their enclave.
Once their land is liberated, then it will make sense for them to come and liberate Lagos as well afterall, its not as if the S/West sent them an invitation letter?

Something must have happened on Nairaland database that spew out the old message again, because I did not write a new

Thank you.

No, it was not the old message. Its better to own-up than defend the indefensible. Alhaji, this is Ramamdan period o!
You can see that someone else also quoted and responded to the same message that you quoted, to insult me.
Did that person also got muddled-up by the "Nairaland database" or what?
An apology is never a sign of weakness, when you are in the wrong!

What l dont understand is why someone you have unnecessarily hit out at, previously (for asking a question from someone else...and not you), have to be tortured in the same manner a second time, just for asking a question.

It is not compulsory that even the person l asked the question, answers it but for a third party to now insult me like l was some kid in his compound, is completely unacceptable.
Your insulting me was so unwarranted because l did not even say anything to you or even direct my question to you.

I wont do that to you and l think you should not to that to others, it does not matter whether you like them or not.

Respect begets Respect
and as matured adult, we are expected to tread carefully in dealing with strangers, moreso when we are faceless on this forum and can be shocked beyond belief, if and when we realize that we have just shown our dark side to someone who we will ordinarily not have done so to! And l say this with all sense of humility.

I dont know whether Property Section is now becoming a sort of "Mafioso" whereby a non "inner caucus members" is descended upon in numbers? I dont even post here that often. I just pop-in and browse anything that catches my fancy.
What if l was somebody very very close to you ....and you dont even know it by now?


Having said that, l am generally a polite person and l dont hold grudges...though l bare my mind if l feel offended and it ends there. And that is exactly what l did.
As it is, l will also consider the matter closed for the sake of peace.

Oga lastpage this tirade is unnecessary in the light of the comment made by oga Mufutau.
Hajj patience is a virtue which you have consistently demonstrated please continue to do the needful.
Are you referring to his second response/denial .... or to the Original offensive comment?
My first response was made with respect to his original comment which l find offensive.

You that l know is a fair person by nature .... (and l am going back to some posts you made some years back in the Auto Section ) and you will agree with me that if l tell you to "keep Quiet and learn",( as he did, when l asked somebody else a question), you will feel offended. And then factor-in the fact that this is the second time l am being attacked by him, for reasons l cant even understand!

I am sure some people decided to "stay-out" of this because they knew what he did was wrong and would rather not offend him by chastising him openly. That is still acceptable since silence is a virtue, if and when not used to cover cowardice.

I wont mind, if l offend him and he tells me to my face. I am not the proud type who cant apologize for his mistakes.; I will profusely apologize to him immediately.

Also, l always take time to explain my self clearly as l dont like to be misunderstood or my words misconstrued.

Anyway, l will let the issue lay-low as nothing is further gained and l wont want to also derail the thread further.

ISSUE CLOSED

Now that you have affirmed that my suggestion to the very mature and intelligent Mufutau is the best in my case as well, I will take his stance that silence is always the best answer for a fool. If u can't grasp that , then I pity your offsprings because I am certain nature herself is already regretting why she allowed u into existence after the big error of allowing ur procreators into existence in the first instance.
My little knowledge of simpletons like you indicates you will cry a river,take your time to type a senseless epistle as usual simply because you cannot bear to face the truth which is the fact that u are a failure on the net and a failure in real life. However, my advise is for you to find better ways of letting out ur frustrations. I am certain that there is a high-rise that is a bus/train ride from your habitation in the projects; and as such I am certain that mother nature atleast gave you a little common sense to know what to do with a high-rise.
I will not so much as type a 'full stop' as regards anything relating to you again because I am sure you were taught in junior high that silence is always the best answer for a fool that you are.

eagleeye2:
My dear Lastpage, your analogy is flawed because the two parties signed an agreement to commit murder which is an offense in itself. But in the case of Tenancy agreement, the Tenant by signing a contract which expressly states ONE MONTH NOTICE WILL DETERMINE the tenancy is simply waiving his rights, if he is a yearly tenant. And the landlord is not committing any offense.
The landlord is simply stating that if you are so eager to rent my property, you will have to WAIVE your right to a six months notice to terminate. The Tenant cannot come back in court to claim the right which he has already waived.
It's like when a suspect, waives his right to a lawyer being present during a police interrogation, how then will the suspect come up in court to claim that he was interrogated in the absence of his lawyerhuh
With due respects sir!

The "Rights" being waved by the said agreement, is also a coded Law of the state or am l wrong about that?
If the law says it is an offense to kill, (just like it says it is an offense to eject a tenant without adequate six months notice), just same way as any "agreement to invalidate that law" or render it inapplicable, does not infer that that law is inapplicable!
A coded law wil always be applicable and there are sanctions for flouting it..... in both cases.

You cant waive-away the law, even if it is your right.
What l am saying is that the infringement is against the sate laws per say, as in both cases.


Consumer Rights law also protects "consumers" who are in a weak position such that they are not able to bargain for their right and the law wil protect their interest in such cases as this.

I guess we will have t leave it for "argument" before a Judge! grin grin grin

You have right to a 7 days Notice Of Owners Intention To Recover Posession. This is because you are holding over
Can this not be argued further since it is almost impossible that you will get a new accommodation within 7days?
No one can ask any tenant to leave immediately, just because you are ready to refund their money!

A contract was in-place ab initio and it was for 12months.
That Contract is binding on both parties to certain limits.

If the house owner now has a change of mind, a Lawyer for the Tenant will argue in court that his client is ready to move out but needs 6months to secure another accommodation.
No Court will ask that that Tenant be thrown out within 7days, despite owners right of intention to recover

My take!

I have evidence of the 90k debt and I am also willing to pay for the 4.5 months I will use (I have spent 4 months already). I just want to know if it is right to pay the estimated bills I have been getting due to the non-functionality of the electricity metre (which has been like that before I moved in)

Thanks

Yes, you should pay for the estimated Bill (as much as you can) since you are still connected to the Electricity Grid.
The non-functionality of the Meter is honestly speaking, not the handiwork of the House Owner.

It is a result of "Ineptitude and Greed" on the part of NEPA or whatever they are called now

Even some owner-occupied houses are forced to pay "estimated Bill" since NEPA will refuse to supply them with a working, Pay-As-You-Use meter, (even after you have paid for the supposedly FREE Meter!) just so that they can exploit the customer....

They ALWAYS prefer to bring "estimated Bills" since they can use it to cheat the customer.
Instead of repairing the Meter.
But you only need to pay like "50%" of what they bring as you can argue that unless they can provide concrete proof of your ACTUAL USAGE (which you are willing to pay), you cant afford to just offload for them.

Keep paying "something' so that they dont cut you off entirely, for now.

As for the 90K, it has Nadda to do with you.

My advice is that "play your own part as a Tenant" so that no fault will be found with you .... and then fight for your right so no Landlord can cheat/harrass you.

unless the tenant is living alone and there are no witnesses as to when the quit notice was served. It's just the word of the landlord against the tenant. And if it can be proven that the landlord is lying under oath in court, you very well know that a case of perjury will now be leveled on the landlord.
In this country we are good at cutting corners, that's why someone will even be thinking of perjury.

Please be advised that you can actually give a yearly or bi-yearly or quarterly or monthly tenant just a MONTHS NOTICE TO QUIT and you will not be contravening any tenanncy law.
How it works is that the Landlord will have to EXPRESSLY STATE IT IN THE TENANCY AGREEMENT that irrespective of how the tenant pays his rent, that the tenancy will be DETERMINED BY A MONTHS NOTICE. If a prospective tenant accepts and signs the tenancy agreement without any duress, then I see why a landlord cannot terminate such tenancy with a months notice.
With due respects Sir, l want to state that some laws/agreements which run contrary to a much higher and superseding law is null and void, even if it is signed by both parties.

what l am saying is that if you make an agreement which constitutes "refoulement" of an existing law of the land, such agreement is null and void in the face of the law and you cannot enforce your rights using such agreement.

A very common example is when (say for example) two people enter into a a "written and signed agreement" that Party A will pay party B a sum of money if Party B kills someone for Party A.
Though both have signed and agreed and the contract is supposedly binding on both, but because there is a law which makes what they did to be an offense (as in shortened tenancy rights), Party B cannot seek any recourse in law, if Party A refuses to perform his side of that agreement.

Reason being attributed to "refoulement"... and that agreement is null and void from the onset.

In the same light, l am of the position that since there is a law which expressly state the number/duration of Quit Notice for a yearly Tenant, any "private agreement" which violates that law is null and void from the onset, even if duly signed by both parties.

I understand that you will say they entered into it voluntarily and that they signed already and that two parties are at liberty to enter into 'private agreements' but the underlying principle is that such 'private agreements' does not violate existing extant laws of the land.


Now, what is your own explanation to back up your position please.

It is Legal. My Thinking is that the landlord does it to encourage the tenant to pay his next rent or with the aim of increasing it.
Why and How is it Legal?
Can we use the arguments and principles of the law of contract to explain this?

My position is that a one year fully paid rent is a contract for one year, binding on both parties who have satisfied the conditions of "Offer, Acceptance and Consideration".
-So, contract is binding till the end of one year. None of the parties can break that contract without penalties

-As a follow-up, since a notice of 6months must be given, that period cannot be injected into an existing and subsiding contract as it was not part of the contract ab initio.
-A Quit Notice is another term of contract and would therefore start at the expiration of the current one as both are "mutually exclusive" of one another.

Thus, l will argue that the Notice is not valid, if given within the period of an existing and fully paid rent contract which has not yet lapsed.

I will like to listen to your own argument
(or anyone in the opposing camp).

Lets do it as an academic exercise here for others to benefit.

Hmm pls I ve a case like this... My rent expired in April I asked the landlord to give me one month to take salary and complete the with the one I have and pay the rent. A week after we had this discussion the agent sent me a quit notice, being confidence of my ability to pay I ignored and two weeks later the landlord asked me to pay half so that it will enable me to look for another house which I comply and paid him 175k which is the supposed half think by November I will look for another house cos honestly I'm tired of the rules in the compound cos u can't come home past 10pm u will be locked out by the gateman and the dogs in the compound are very destructive as well.. They eat visitors shoes and can climb the burglary anytime to do one thing or the other.... So a week after I paid the half which is 175k I came back from the office and[b] met a court notice on my door requesting I show up in court by July 6[/b]...at this point I lost it nd confront the landlord which he said he wants me out cos u threaten to kill his dogs but on the court notice he mention several lies including me not able to pay rent for the past year till date among few they mentioned there which futunately I have all my receipts and bank tellers of payment from the inception till date. Now am due to appear in court and I don't know how to go about it.. I need a lawyer and an advise.... I ve all the tellers of payment till this last one and audio recording of my calls with his agent and himself.. I think I ve enough evidence to pull tru... But my question is can u evict somebody that have an active rent.... Cos I'm confused...
Court is all about "Evidence and Arguments"!

Do you have proof of the Dogs destroying your property, along with those payment receipts?
Do you have evidence to counter every lie he wrote in the Court petition?
If YES, nothing do you.
At the worst case, you will be given another six months to look for a house... till say December 2014 or March 2015.

wrong. If the tenant get a good lawyer, he will be staying in that house for another 6 months or more.
As a landlord do not second guess what the court will do or will not do. Rather follow the due process of serving a tenant a quit notice according to law.
While l agree that he should not second-guess the court and that due process needs to be followed, it is a very simple case.

The Landlord just needs to serve the Tenant, a "back-dated" notice which takes into account the previous six months.
At that point, the notice is duly served like it was served six months ago.
Let the Tenant come and prove it in court that he was served yesterday! shocked shocked

Now I have told her to return my 10months rent balance which she has not returned till date. Please how do I fight for my right and have my money back??
770077][/color]not returned. How do I fight
1.) You can be held liable for the damage/defacement done by your visitor. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, you hear? angry angry

2.) Accommodating a visitor for that length of time in a rented house is a violation of the terms of most rent agreement. You cant harbor guests without the landlord's consent.
It is a good and valid reason to eject a tenant. It is even worse if the visitor messed-up the place.


Your Landlady will not refund you and she is not obligated t do so.
Good step you went to the Mediators but some of them take "Ribba" from Landlord and drag feet on such issues.
Go back to the mediators and report that you are being denied the right to use the conveniences.

If they still drag feet, you will need a Lawyer to file a civil suit for breaches to your right to enjoy the use of what you paid for.
Seek "damages" that would cover your loses, your legal cost and inconvenience.

On the other hand, you can "trigger" a court case by removing the lock on the toilet door (after making recordings of it being locked and you being prevented from using it..... this will serve as court evidence in future) and then your landlord will be forced to take action against you....legally or otherwise. This is your cheapest option as you will be the defendant

But be careful with some of this winch landlords o! Make im no spread bad thing for ground for you o! grin grin

What do I do to a lawyer that ordered the gateman (the one I pay part of his salary monthly) not to allow me pack out after he gave me a quit notice that will expire by August 31. He said I must pay for the outstanding rent (4 months) and I told him I will surely pay but at my convenience because he has inconvenienced me by giving me quit notice.

There is also an issue with PHCN bill. I met a bill of 90k which I told him about when I moved in 2 years ago and he promised to settle it but he never did. The electricity metre was (and still faulty) so the PHCN guys bring estimated bill (about 5 times what I should have been paying monthly). My co-tenants will good metre pay around 2-3k monthly (and they have more electrical appliances than I do).

Am I under any obligation to pay before leaving or pay at my convenience? Am I under any obligation to pay the excess on electricity bill due to the landlord and lawyer's negligence as regard the faulty electricity metre?

Thanks
You left things too late!

As per Electricity: Do you have documented evidence that there was 90K debt on it? Who paid the 90K? Where are the receipts of payment?
If you can provide all the above, that amount is deductible from your rent as it is not your debt. But you need hard evidence, not "dem say". undecided

As per outstanding rent: You used it and you will pay for it.
Now, he cannot lock you in/out because of that. He can report you or get a lien on your property before you move out, to ensure you pay his outstanding rent.
He will however need a court order to effect the lien.

The Lawyer is going beyond his bound if by his action, he is denying you your fundamental right to freedom of movement, by locking the gate on you.
Get a Camera phone and record/show evidence of that denial of right of movement. You will need it in court.

Report him at the nearest Police station (make sure it is incidented in their crime diary, even if they refuse to call him to order).
Then proceed to dismantle the gate/padlock and let him call the Police on you (or if na physical fight) one way or the other, the Police wil get involved and then proceed to court.

As per whether you must pay him before leaving or not, it depends on how your Landlord handles it.
With a court order, your property can even be sold to offset the debt.
But it will be better if both of you can come to an arrangement that is "enforceable" (signed agreement) that you will pay at a certain agreed date in the future and he can hold you legally liable if you fail to pay by that date...and also claim damages and legal expenses in addition.

I do not advocate Tenants not fulfilling their financial obligation to their Landlord neither will l as a landlord, encourage Landlord impunity.

It's a known fact that most people are not learned in terms of their legal rights as regard to tenancy, this has given some landlords(rent lawyers) the onus to act in such a reckless and unlawful ways toward their tenants without any fear of percussion. You can only defend your right when you know you have a right.

This are some unlawful acts often perpetrated by landlords towards their ignorant tenants:

1. Inadequate eviction: Locking out tenants, and physically throwing them of their property or assaulting him for his inability to pay rent at when due. Only the court can order and carry out the eviction of tenants, it's a legal wrong for a landlord or a rent lawyer to in anyway evict a tenants without an adequate court process. A tenant when unable to pay rent as at when due, is still a lawful tenant and must be treated with respect. A tenant who is inadequately evict due to inability to pay rent ,has a legal right to sue the landlord for damages.

Since Tenancy is a "Contract" and the terms of the contract requires fulfillment by both parties
, does not paying your house rent not VOID and INVALIDATE such contract, due to "non-performance" on the part of the tenant, for not paying his rent... thereby making it impossible for you to seek recourse for those rights?
"He who must come to equity, needs come with clean hands", as it is said!


wisdomguy4u:
2. Inadequate notice to quit: The duration of time for which the notice to quit will expire is determine by the kind of tenancy relationship existing between the tenant and it's landlord. The landlord has no right to quit the tenant anytime he likes .
* where the tenant pays monthly: the law requires that he is entitled to full one month notice.
* where the tenant pays every six months: he will be entitled to a full three months notice.
* where the tenant pays yearly: he will be entitled to six months notice.

Any notice short of the above stipulated notices is unlawful and gives the tenant right to sue for unlawful eviction.
When does the eviction notice begin to take effect?
Can it be issued mid-way into a paid tenancy or must the paid period come to an end before we start counting the eviction notice period?
I mean, if Mr. X pays for one year tenancy in January, to lapse in December.
Can Landlord Y issue an eviction notice in July, to terminate by December ending?
Or must the landlord wait till the end of December (when the tenancy payment ends) before his Notice starts counting


Good write-Up all the same.
My "response" is intended to benefit others who might have those questions on their mind.

What about "Landlord's rights", would you put up something on that as well because one day, that tenant will hopefully become a Landlord and will need to be protected from some type of nightmare tenants grin grin

Apologizing now because he needs money?
Looks more like Wolf in sheep clothing!
He cant even hide his real intentions.

Adebayor needs to steer clear of these type of person.

Just give your Mother a lump-sum of money to do whatever she likes with it (Settlement) so that people will not accuse you of being a bad person.


After that, STAY AWAY..... otherwise, your demise will definitely come from that side.
Like someone said, "The next BLOW will be fatal".
I hope Adebayor is listening?

The photo you attached to the Buhari's helipad is a more sophisticated one!
Helipad are generally NOT expensive to Build!
Except unless the Helipad is to be suituated on a building or yatch, oil platforms etc, Helipads are generally built on bare grasslands!

Below are photos of helipads. You want to tell me ordinary drawing of the H on the ground and peharps surrounded by paint is what will gallop millions of Naira? undecided

You should even be thankful for a President that tells you he plans to build a helipad

This story is not true. Buhari need not start his crusade with an imaginary Yola to revive his social crusader image. There is OBJ, Tinubu, Atiku of Halliburton fame and everybody knows them. I suspect Buharu is setting the stage for political persecution of his opponents especially those in GEJ era. Quite recently Buhari's spokesman has made revealing statements. It appears that the present government prefers to narrow corruption crusade only within GEJ era simply because according to APC the corruption in this era dwarfs all others. Any approach in the fight against corruption must be holistic.
On one hand, IT IS NOT TRUE!
On the other hand, it is "Political Persecution"? shocked shocked
Whats the problem with you these SaTANoids sef?
huh angry angry

Whose gives a phuck whether Mr. Yola is Buhari's in-law or Jonathan's brother...... a criminal is GOING TO JAIL ASAP!
And there is "all the elements" required by a Justice System: A Complainant, An Accused and Evidence to back it up.

Now you Eediot should provide those three items to Buhari... ABOUT ANYONE (Whether it is Tinubu or OBJ or even your thieving Jonathan) and see whether #SaiBaba will not order his/her arrest.

Until then, ShutDaPhuckUp!

All your whining and moaning will not deter PMB from fighting the monster of Corruption to a stand still, even if it requires that your Cheesux of Otuoke and his "Opolo-eyes" concubine ends behind bars.

I smell another scam. You people should just stop this praise song Buhari leading by example nonsense. You arrested someone who extorted person of such amount, just because he has refunded the money as you claim, you just set him free just like that? I refuse to be fooled again. For me this is his strategy so that when jailing others, people we say yes after all he did it to his inlaw.
You Mister, are really a BIG FOOL!

Did you not read where it was written in the article that "Mr. Yola was RELEASED ON BAIL?

And in case you dont still gerrit, it means he will appear in court, to face possible jail time, before a competent Judge.

I know it is difficult to believe something like this can happen, when you have been used to the impunity of the likes of Jonathan and his Shepopotamus.


But you will soon get used to it.
This 'Dongo-Mallam' means business...... Now tell me, if he did not spare his own in-law, how would he spare YOU THIEVES?

Oga Mufutau, please ignore sir. Take this as one of the prices to pay for being on a faceless forum such as this.
Thank God for your patience sir. If only some people knew.

Okay sir, let me answer your question since we are all here to learn. ......
You quoted my "response" to Mufu and then typed the above! shocked shocked
Are you a freaking dolt? or dont you see how you sound?
Like someone craving attention and trying to do "attachee" by force!
grin grin

There is a reason my question was DIRECTED TO ONE PERSON ONLY.... and not some half-educated minions, for christ's sake!

I ask questions here (and very rarely), not necessarily like one tw@t trying to learn how to build a house for the first time but because l make a hobby of trying to "refine ideas" by juxtaposing them alongside each other.

Truly, if only we are not on a faceless forum.... some of you will recoil in shame for running your mouths.
But then, l am happy to keep it it as it is and you can shove your explanation down where the sun does not shine. undecided

Sir he asked a question but you didn't answer, I am also wondering why the soakaway is above ground level.
Thank you o, for your observation! All l wanted to do was "hear and compare opinion" with Segcy

The question was not even directed at this Mufu but he has constituted himself into some demigod "class captain"! grin grin dishing out instructions and correction to "his boys" shocked shocked



He holds a grudge against me, from a previous encounter in which he displayed the same "arrogant and petulant attitude" on my post and l called him to order.
Next, he went gang-up with the "Mod" to delete my post (so that others cannot make an informed opinion on what happened)...and then to ban me for a few days, like my life depends on posting on Nairaland!


Dont be surprised if you get to know that he actually went ahead to "influence" that the question not be answered, behind the scene!
Such a petty clown.

Anyway, lets not derail the thread with his distraction. undecided

You have started again Mufutau? You will never learn to mind your bloody business, until l tell you to shut-da-phuck Up, ehn?

I asked somebody a question, (and that is very evident in the bolded parts of my sentence) ... it was not directed to you but you decided to "inject your silly self" into it; while asking a silly question in the process?
Oro to'logbon baso, enu asiwere lati'ngbo.

Looking at it, my question was asked very politely and l even offered my own thoughts on the situation

Maybe you are trying to ensure he does not answewr the question, by creating adistraction, in the futile and childish mentality that if he does not answer it, it means l would not know the answer! grin grin

I dont know which kind of "night school" you attended that you cant decipher "a question" within a sentence ...
It is not in your place to tell me to "continue and learn" because all this your forming "informed" ...on nairaland, ends here!
You have a very silly penchant to always want to appear relevant, even when your opinion is not required nor valued.

Small time now, you will run to a "Mod" to try and gang-up, as you have done in the past.
If you want to tackle me, as yo have attempted in the past, man-up and do it directly.

I dont know what your "beef" is with me that you always try to run your mouth at me, even when l know that you are poorly schooled and far from being an intelligent person, in real life.

Steer Clear, l dont suffer fools.... and l think you know that as well. undecided

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
Was it a court issued quit notice? If not then he should call her bluff. If she harasses him he should take legal action. If it is a court issued notice and if it was given three months ago like you said, then let it be known to you that no court will evict a tenant upon the expiration of such a notice. They will usually give an extra month or so before throwing the tenant out. So op either way, tell your friend to call her bluff, any harassment from her will amount to a violation of his rights in which case he should take legal action. Sorry for booking space. grin
You are an ignorant dolt!

It is not the duty of a court to issue QUIT NOTICE.

It is and will be legally and properly issued by the owner of the house or her Agent/Lawyers.

It is when the Tenant refuses to vacate the premises that the Landlord would apply to the court to have him forcibly ejected.
And YES, the court, through the Bailiff, can forcefully eject a tenant, seize his property and auction them off, to settle any owed rent.

But ofcourse, the tenant must have over-stayed his quit notice, for that to happen.
