Good u paid into his account but next time endeavor to get ur receipts cous he could still deny the payment as ur rent.

Go plead with ur landlord(which in my case I won't do), if he refuses don't fret about it.
When the 1 month elapses, he will certainly come again then tell him u ve not got a place yet nd u need extra 5month to complete the mandatory 6month.

Sure with this he would get where u re driving to, if u like when it's 6month take him court, this will give u another 6month to 1yr free accommodation.

Just start making arrangements for funds to move cous the above ain't going to be easy, the landlord will find every way to make ur living there Hell...

That your advice is WRONG and has no legal basis.
Dont put him in more trouble than he can handle!

How would someone who paid for three months be entitled to six months notice?
Are you not also aware that you still have to pay your rent (as long as you are still in the house) during the Notice period?

ask Lawyers, if you think l am wrong.

Okay, l have seen new information that was not there before.

So, you are owing January rent already? Why now?

You cant afford a Lawyer, so that wont help you.

Best Options:

*Beg your Landlady [/b]to give you more time, say House is difficult to get and you dont even have enough money to rent a new house now.
Tell her to give you till June. Look for another house as quickly as possible.

[b]*Go to the Mediation Center for help.
She CANT remove your things without a Court Order but your owing rent makes that order easier to get.
She will get that Court order within a few Months, after your Notices has expired.
Incase she refuse all begging, then tell her you CANT MOVE OUT NOW, unless a Court asks you to!
That will give you like 3-6Months. Pay your rent during those periods, Judges dont like owing tenants at all.

Dont mind those people telling you that you are entitled to six months notice, it is false.

Sorry for your plight.

........

She finally succeed in helping the landlord to quit me from the room through her lies and others. My rent expired last month and I was called last night that I should quit the room in the next one month. Please what should I do? I'm in state of confusion now and depression. Right now, I couldn't afford to rent another room.

We have not heard from your Landlady so all these story might just be one-sided, made to make your Landlady look bad.

But then, let us give you the benefit of doubt.

Questions:
1.) How long have you been in this same house?

2.) Do you pay yearly or Monthly? Your last payment was from when-to-when?

3.) Do you have a rent receipt?

4.) Are you owing any rent before now?

5.) How many people are in that house, that use the same bathroom?

6.) Was that "discussion about who should bath first" with your Landlady, done in an "aggressive tone" or with decorum (gentle manner)?

Now, There are three routes:
Long Route 1:
if you are a yearly tenant, your Landlady MUST give you SIX MONTHS NOTICE, to quit.
If you pay monthly, then you are only entitled to One Month Notice.
After that, she will give you another One MONTH, if you are still there, then ONE WEEK after which she will go to court to seek an EVICTION ORDER (Must be issued by a Court).
The Court will serve you a NOTICE to hear your own side of the story and may make or not make that order.

Long Route 2:
Go to the nearest Mediation Centre to your house and inform them of this situation.
They will invite your Landlady and ask her to state her case.
Their duty is to help both of you reach a reconciliation/agreement, without going to court.
They dont take cases that are already in court so you must decide which one you want (Court or Mediation)

Short Route: Ask someone to speak with your Landlady and tell her that you were no trying to "cause her trouble" but just trying to find a way that you and her can have your baths without disturbing each other.
Explain to her that it just happens that she wants to bath when you also want to bath and that can she give you a particular time she thinks the bathroom will be available for you to bath before you go to work in the morning, without conflicting with hers?

Try sooth her ego, beg her and act the "foolish" for now, since you are not in a position to rent another house now and[b] l know what "stress and anxiety" it is causing you right now.[/b]

I hope one of these methods works for you.


Lastpage!

BTW: other underhand tactics:

a.) If she get "matured daughter", befriend her and impregnate her (be ready to marry her sha o!).... you are now her in-law and she cant throw you out!

b.) If she be "Fine Mama" and you nor mind, befriend her and your rent might just be "paid upfront" for as long as you dey knack correct-correct!
But keep the House rents somewhere because the day wey she vex, you will need the money to rent another house, in a jiffy!

NB: I do not endorse any of the last two strategies even though they work like a charm, l saw them in my dreams!
It wasn't me....

Man wet dem dey write speech for. How can the president be very insensitive when there is so much trouble in the land. I heard the man sleeps by 9pm. He doesn't even have the energy and stamina to stand the rigours of the office of the president. This man was just aiming to be called the president of Nigeria. The good thing though is this four years will demystify the myth surrounding this buhari. When he goes Nigeria will go back to business as usual. He has refused to build institutions and respect them. When the strong man leaves it will be business as usual unless he builds institutions

Keep quiet joor, even Obama who is a Professor of Law, has Speech Writers!.

9pm-10pm is the recommended time for anyone to go to bed, after working all day...... except you are a night marauder sha.

See, truth is "you cant eat your cake,.... and still have it".

You cant claim not to be part of a place, and at the same time be competing with those who are part thereof, for development.
Why should Nigeria waste money to build a Bridge for "another country" , when there is not even enough money to build one for the many parts of Nigeria?
Life is not like that.

But wait oh. the other day, i witnessed a conductor exchanging words with a woman and not long after, a fight did erupt. Then a mopo from nowhere came out with his koboko and bathed the man with it and everyone started insulting him that he is fighting a woman. Now i ask, is this not discrimination? if men and women should have equal rights it then means that a man and a woman can fight without discriminating talks from people. I think we the men need it more so that we can at least protect ourselves from them. Nevertheless, on the long run, women realy needs this law. Women's subjugation and discrimination is quite alarming. Kudos to the lady. Nice try.

Women have been more cunning than men, from the time of Adam!
Even worse, some foolish men, so ignorantly, think they are fighting the "cause of women" as a "weaker shex", when in reality, they are being "used and dumped", for emasculating their fellow men.

Its so strange and funny that "some men" could be this unintelligent!
But such is Life, even Biblical Adam proved that men are weaker (emotionally,) than women and women use this weakness to their advantage!

It is also strange that in the "Western Countries" we are trying to copy, they are beginning to realise their mistake and are redressing some of these laws!
For example, "Equality Laws" have been used to prevent Men from seeing their children, if the parents are unmarried. It has been used to allow a woman terminate Pregnancy, without the consent of her man/husband, by claiming it's her body!
Now, Western countries are seein gthe injustice they met on the menfolk and trying to correct it.

Yet ,here we are in Africa, we are trying to swallow the bait, hook, line and sinker, in 2016!


Anyway, "Water has a way of finding its level, it is only those whose houses are low-lying. that would have to pay the price first".

Now you're just been ridiculous, it's like saying stealing and murder are un African so we should not have laws about them. As long as he can't claim the whole community never discriminates that means there is a need for the law, laws are in place to make sure some don't go against it. Also it's silly to say women are not discriminated against when Women can't even inherit land from their fathers, if that is not a clear case of discrimination then what is.

That man said this is not America, meaning If you want gender equality go to America so please try not to twist things

Like l said earlier, if there are "pockets" of discrimination (which even still happens even in Western Countries), LAWS need to be strengthened.

I have sisters and we all shared our parents 'ESTATES' EQUALLY, upon their demise so l dont know where you come from that you dont allow your female siblings to inherit land?

Your examples are ignorantly puerile, to put it mildly!

assuming there are no murders in Africa, then it is actually stewpid, to make laws against it ....in Africa.
That is the concept of "ab initio" that l mentioned earlier, which you failed to comprehend.

Assuming "One child" failed in a class, it does not mean the whole class has failed and they all have to repeat that class...... That "failure child" is the one that needs to being attended to.

The Law maker is saying: Look, that problem is not preponderant here, to the point of making "new laws' against it; we just need to strengthen the ones we have to tackle little pockets of infractions.

But then, any sensible person knows that "these Equal rights Bill" is more than just about "equal right", ...it is just a convenient excuse for something more sinister....

We've seen it in the Western countries, in the past.

Wow so saying women should not be discriminated against is Un-african that means discriminating against women is African those men don't even deserve to be called humans. So wanting your female children to have the same rights as your male children is a horrible thing chai.

Someone is talking about low divorce rates, how won't they be low when the women have no rights. Many of them may be miserable battered women who can't leave because they are in a society that will discriminate against them. I guess that's why those mumus, don't want the bill so there wives won't be empowered.

You got it wrong.
You dont try to solve "a problem that does not exist" ab initio!

He is saying We Nigerians/Africans dont discriminate against our women, we give them their place of pride in our socio-cultural environment thus, it is "Un-African" to even consider making laws against women's discrimination because that problem does not exist with us"!

Africans: We revel in our ignorance and use it to justify our archaic ways.

It is a fallacy, to say "Men and Women are already not EQUAL" in Nigeria of TODAY!

*Women have risen to the highest level they can attain in Nigeria, without this Bill.
*We have Women like Dora Akinyilu (RIP), Okonjo Iweala, Dezziani Allison Madueke, e.t.c who have attained highest public office they can attain.
*No one stopped them. There are uncountable "Women C.E.O's of Big organizations, no one said they cant be , because they are women?
*Nobody in present day Nigeria says a Girl child cant go to school.
*No employer discriminates against a female employer or nowhere in the Nigerian constitution is it written that Women cant be Pilots, Military officers, e.t.c
*No one has prevented any woman in Nigeria from starting her own Business simply because she is a woman!
*In this current Govt, there are many "women Ministers" who we are proud of.

So, all these noise about WOMEN EQUALITY is just a "hidden agenda" for other nefarious intentions.

WOMEN are EQUAL.... and will ALWAYS BE EQUAL TO MEN in Nigeria.

But what we wont accept is women, surreptitiously using EQUALITY as a TOOL to debase men, usurp "men's freedom and right" and generally turn them into "cowardly weaklings" so as to make them shiver at the sight of women, as we see in western countries where a woman can slap a man right in the face, for no reason and he can do nothing!

Yesterday on Nairaland, a Husband lost FOUR TEETH.... just protecting his wife!

Read it here: https://www.nairaland.com/2923306/man-loses-teeth-fight-neighbour

What else should a man do, to show respect for women, or is it until Women turn men to foot mart?

Some women are just EVIL and want to drive a wedge between the genders.
We can both cohabit in a mutually beneficial manner and not engage in a war of sexes, as is the case Abroad/Western countries.
If there are specific cases, like "spousal abuse", there are laws to deal with these and those laws can even be strengthened, if need be.

I love women, l respect women, l appreciate women and see them a s MY EQUAL HUMANS (though our Genders are different, we are different,not the same but complementary) but l also think Nigerian women should know better than to follow the "Western route" of emasculating their Men. It creates BIGGER problems, down the Road

ISpiksDaTroof:
He's beaten, frustrated, and dejected.

Now, I'll tell you several things wrong with this scenario and how it could've been easily avoided to forestall any disrespect of the court as done by the Defendant.

1. Only Defendants attending court from home should be made to walk through the front steps of the court.

2. For a Defendant being being transported from a Prison facility, the court premises should have a heavily fortified back door entrance only accessible to Security Agents and their vehicles. This entrance will be blocked off to members of the public.

3. When a Defendant is transported from the detention facility, he will be processed in the "back" and restraints removed before he is presented before the Judge and the public. In the alternative, the restraints could be left on if the Defendant is unruly, violent or has shown a tendency to be volatile.

4. The Defendant, after being processed and searched for Dangerous contrabands will be brought into court from the back office and made to face his charges; far from the glaring eyes of the public. The symbolism of this---apart from Security implications---is to show that he is in custody. If he was free on bail, he'd be walking in through the Front entrance.

5. The Defendant should be distanced AT ALL TIMES from Members of the Public. This is VERY IMPORTANT . To avoid a situation where Court proceedings will be disrupted as was done in the video, upon entering the court room---the Defendant will be immediately seated with his Attorneys at their table and will NOT be allowed verbal or physical access to anyone not part of his legal team. Anyone wishing audience with him should feel free to seek Permission from the Facility where he is being detained pending trial, and if approved, can visit for a limited duration (not more than 30-45mins) . Such visits from people not on his Legal team should be strictly monitored.

6. There will only be two tables and seats facing the Judge. One for the Defendant and one for the Prosecution. These tables will be separated a good distance from the public gallery to avoid the kind of threatening display exhibited by his sympathizers.

The court process is a serious issue and not a spectacle for clownish behavior as exhibited and should be treated as such. Mr.Kanu knows the process and I dare say he knows not to try such in the U.K unless he wants some burly white court bailiffs--- already itching for a fight and praying he misbehaves---chokes him out before pepperspraying or tazing him into submission . Then, they'll slap a muzzle on his face if he's being verbally belligerent or orally disruptive.

The Bottom line, to avoid such a disgraceful and disrespectful spectacle, keep the Defendant far away from the public and distanced from anyone not on his legal team; including Family and friends. Actually, ESPECIALLY from family and friends who will be acting on emotion rather than common sense and (as seen on the video) will encourage outbursts and disruptions of the court process. I hope he pulls this charade in front of a Judge and is immediately sanctioned and punished with Contempt. Nigerians need to start learning to obey the courts, avoid unrulliness and succumbing to the rule of law.

Mr.Nnamdi Kanu will not dare try this in the Western World. He would've been immediately dealt with.

You have raised a lot of very important issues for our Judicial system as a whole.

Honestly, l want to thank this Government of Buhari for being very NICE and TOLERATING!
I also want to appreciate those Uniformed men for "staying cool", despite the provocations from Kanu and his supporters.

I watched about TEN VIDEOS of Nnamdi Kanu, one after another and l saw the same thing: A young man who is trying too hard to impress his followers by being very rude, insulting and arrogant towards "Uniformed Govt officials".
I saw a man who was aggressively angry and constantly transferring his anger unto the Warders and Uniformed Security details of the System.

I am just wondering what he would do, if those officers are like the overzealous types in the USA, and they tried to "implement court procedures" by forcefully removing those bangles? Is he gonna beat them?

He is lucky that he is not in the USA!
Just imagine any "accused" shouting at, insulting and denigrating an FBI Agent, within the court premises?
He will be subdued immediately, using lethal force if need be.
Just one "choke hold" and Kanu will never open his filthy mouth again! Many have died in the process.

But because we live in an environment where we tolerate rubbish, he seems to be getting away with it, every time.

Even his supporters are insulting and harassing Uniformed security operatives and being generally rancorous within court premises!
Chai, now l know this Govt is really bending over backwards for this man.

When you are in a Law Court, you cant be shouting orders at Security details. It is out of oder.
It costs him nothing to speak to these officers, (who by the way are just doing their jobs), nicely ...but the "Ibo" in him will not let that happen.

BTW: One day he was shouting that his "BANGLES are too tight, the next day they are upside down and then the next, he doesnot want to remove them!
All in an effort to portray himself as "being in-charge"?
I guess the Judges must be laughing themselves hoarse at his petulance ..... but they know they are waiting for him, that time when he wants to be released on bail! That is when they will show him "Who is in charge"!

One thing l know is that until his case is decided, he is never going to make bail, even if the case takes the next four years...[b]and those officers he is insulting publicly, will be his "minders" throughout those period!
I really pity him![/b]
