His tenancy agreement if he chooses to read it, will state somewhere that he's to pay a certain sum at a certain date. He signed that agreement, he broke that agreement, technically at that point he's lost ground already. Again, no reason whatsoever is needed to issue a quit notice other than "we'd like to terminate this agreement legally".
Simple.

FILEBE:


Sorry o but no be talk be wetin I bold so. At all! E no follow. Irrespective of how many batches he paid it , as long as tenant made full payment before due date, you have nothing against him. How can you use his payment in installment to judge his future? That is vile and very petty .

The OP didn't say he won't be paying. It is after one fails to pay a house rent that you give quit notice .

All these landlords be playing God. For God's sake have compassion as a landlord!! The economic situation is hard!

damianking1:
The landlord and his wife has refused to mind their business. Your wife owes them no greetings. You have the right to greet and don't greet anybody. Na business partners una be. So he has no justification of evicting you. Man live in that house till your rent expires . Then live there for another 3 months for free, don't allow them scare you. You have your right too as a tenant.

Advice that will take OP to jail sir.

Due process will takes it's course as it has been followed so far. He can be evicted and probably will be evicted by force on the order of the court.
- Sufficient notice has been given
- he has previously defaulted on payment agreement
- someone has advised him not to grant access for inspection which is likely in his agreement
- he likely is not flush with funds to find another place
-he's already running out of time to find said new place

The best he'll get from the courts is a few months of extension will he'll still pay the rent for and have to move out. Failing which he can be evicted legally by the court itself. They'll send court officers with armed escorts to do that in case there is trouble. And this will be legal.

greggng:



I am talking from experience...what you read in your book is different from court practice. The moral aspect of this case most come to play . I have accompanied some tenants to ogba magistrate Court...I am impressed how cases of this nature are judged . Infact in one of a tenants last appearance he was ask to take 3 more months despite spending 6minths ...Thevreadon for evicting this tenant us laughable cos nobody digs money from ground ...getting a house involved alot ...you need to raise money raise agency fee raise agreement fee and damages...is nit easy ...I am not encouraging him.to make trouble but if he can't raise money b4 the expiration of the notice ...then the landlord had to approach the court to evict him after due process ...he cannot be evicted by force ..I don't need to tell you who I am but I have helped some people on issues if this nature ......

- You don't need to have committed any offence, you and the landlord had a contract, the landlord now wants to end that contract. By issuing you a 6-month notice, he has legally notified you of the intention by giving you half the term of your rent period as notice. i.e. You pay for 12 months, you get a notice of 6 months.

-

why collecting money from me again

Not sure what you mean by this question. You will be living in the house for the notice period. You are legally obligated to pay rent for any period including notice period that you live there, hence the lawyer accepting your payment

-

i understand a friend told me they are suppose to refund me back that since there's no refund that i still have right to spend at least 3 month after my due date under the law

That friend will land you in jail and probably can't afford to bail you out. You are entitled to a notice period half the rent term which in your case is 6 months. Your typical rent cycle has been starting from january 14th. You only paid half, which legally should only give you a 3-month notice period, but no need to go into technicalities. They would have issued you the notice in June, but refrained because YOU WERE OWING even though you are pre-paying the rent, again let's not dwell on technicalities. Now that you paid up by August 16th, you were issued the "original notice date not period" which is january 14th but in this case not up to the 6-month period. So, if we are to follow to the letter, you should get a notice till february 16th, however YOU WILL BE OWING ONE MONTH OF PRORATED RENT which is #45,833. So, you either make this point clear to them and hand over the said amount, or forfeit the one-month missing notice period in lieu. However, make no mistake, YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO PAY RENT FOR EVERY SINGLE MINUTE YOU LIVE THERE.

-

laivwire:
Instead of the 6 months law tenants use to enjoy free rent

Once again, no such law exists anywhere. Refer to the 2nd point above.

youngsahito:
The landlord can't do nothing even if the quit notice expires cos las las una will go to court for house matter. If you don't get an apartment now, the landlord can't throw away ur property outside without any court statement.

This person will get you sent to jail and help you get your property carted to the courthouse where it'll be destroyed when left in the rain sir.

-

Globalistic:
My Advice: Consult a Barrister who has an indebt knowledge of Tenancy Law and make sure you don't sign any Quit Notice issued to you. In November, never you grant your landlord's lawyer access to your apartment.

Another person sending you to jail. Your signature is not needed. They only need to notify you and prove that you or a member of your household was duly notified. Since you have already communicated with the lawyer regarding the quit notice, the receipt of same is automatically implied. Regarding access to the apartment for inspection, kindly open your agreement and find the clause there regarding access for repairs and inspection, it's in the most basic of tenancy agreements. So, by refusing, you're already toeing outside of legality.

-

the landlady complain my wife doesnt use to greet her whereas we are living in the same compound

You, your wife, your child, your visitors, anyone associated with you or otherwise DO NOT OWE ANYONE INCLUDING THE LANDLORD, HIS WIFE, THE LAWYER, CO-TENANTS, THEIR VISITORS, ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM, ANY FORM OF GREETING FROM HERE TO THE FARTHEST ENDS OF THE UNIVERSE. That is simply a courtesy you may choose or otherwise to extend. They can grumble and hold meetings over this from now till the end of the universe and it changes nothing. However, same set of people may also notice that your apartment is on fire and may choose to or otherwise help you raise an alarm and assist with forming a bucket brigade to help you put it out. As it is your discretion, so is it theirs, CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES. This will not be a tenable reason to issue you a quit notice, and no reason is needed to issue you a quit notice other than "we would like to legally terminate our agreement", which is what has been done here.

i pay for damage the sum of 60k

That amount is actually a security deposit of sorts. Think of it as collateral, on leaving the premises, if there is no damage to the property, the landlord it legally obligated to refund it to you.

-

i was told they are coming for inspection of my apartment by November

The above point is the reason for the inspection. You and only you currently know there is no damage to the apartment. For the landlord to confirm same, they need to inspect the place. They have given you ample notice of this intention, you are to respond and work out suitable timing for both parties to carry out that inspection. Once they're satisfied that indeed the property is undamaged, you can go ahead to request for your refund when you are handing back the place over to the landlord or their representative in person of the lawyer. At this point, if the refund is not provided, you can seek legal redress.

-

i dont trust the landlord for who they claim to be PASTOR

You shouldn't care if he's a pastor or the king of the universe, all that is irrelevant. You also don't need to either trust him or otherwise. You had a legally binding agreement with him, simply ensure the agreement is followed especially if it starts to appear that you are being taken advantage of.

YOUR SOLUTION / ACTION POINTS

If you are really interested in maintaining the apartment, you can request for a dialog with both lawyer and landlord to try to smoothen things out, dialogue / peaceful resolution is legal and welcome, and if not, then hit the streets and get a new place.

As long as you continue to let them know you know what you're doing, I promise you, they won't mess with you. It's simple.

anainterior2018:
I promise to make this simple and short. Please kindly bear with me. however i write this am mind is filled up.
I just got an apartment where am living for now with my wife and daughter which is going to be 2yrs of me staying by January 14 2024. but the issue i have right now is that i was suppose to renew my house rent January 14 2023 the sum of 550k year due to how difficult everything was so

i make half payment on December 2022 to the lawyer and make the lawyer understand the situation of thing at the moment and he accept with me sum of 275k that's 6 month payment so hoping before June/July i will be paid the remaining half. fast forward to August 16 i message the lawyer

again on whatsapp again concerns the second half payment which i did another 275k but to my surpise after paying the said amount i got quit notice letter just 1 weeks after making payment that i shoudn't renew my rent again and i should leave the house before january 14 or by january 14. so i went to the lawyer office and let him know how i feel about this that what my offend and when you know you're given me QUIT NOTICE why collecting money from me again and he doesnt respond to my question saying the landlady complain my wife doesnt use to greet her whereas we are living in the same compound but we tenant have our own gate while the landlord have their own personal gate and compound we doesn't share the same compound because there's demarcation between the tenant and landlord.

my problem and concerns at the moment is i dont have money yet on me to rent another apartment i will really need enough time. I want people here to enlighten me on this under the law, is it how it works in Lagos state and secondly i was told they are coming for inspection of my apartment by November if i made any damage in the apartment when am still living in the apartment likewise am new to this i pay for damage the sum of 60k i never damage anything in the apartment still this moment everything is in order. i really better knowledge on this about the quite notice and inspection of house around November because i dont trust the landlord for who they claim to be PASTOR

I'm still to read and reply back

thanks

If a husband owns the house, should the wife pay rent for living there?

englishmart:
If a wife owns a restaurant, is her husband supposed to pay after eating?

This is a straightforward question.

lol. You're literally looking at the picture of the same building from 2 different points. One from the front garage / side and the other from the back yard. The wooden door you see allows you to get to the house's back door from the garage.

Why should the garden have furniture if the owner doesn't want any there? The picture could also be taken on the first day owner moved in BEFORE putting any "furniture" there. The owner could take out the furniture just for this picture. The possibilities are endless.

Dey use generator dey investigate person wey fit no witness power failure for the rest of him life. lmao

SUFFERInSMILIIN:


I have done some investigation on computer and I have found out that the two pictures are not in the same area. The first picture the roof drainage, roofing tiles, building brick and wooden wall separator are different in the second picture they use roof real drainages Where the car is. In the second picture roofing tiles are different. From my vedic the house looks like a property for sale because in the garden there is actually nothing no furniture no hedge or anything.

This one is the similar story two fake certificates

Great insights.

It's quite interesting to know that pathway as you outlined. Of course, the importance of a solid foundation in whatever track one decides to pursue cannot be overstated and I was not necessarily asking as to "follow the bandwagon" as it were, more out of curiosity as to how the status quo can be enhanced.

As an aside, IT has had very rapid evolution in the last 1 - 2 decades and what we termed "foundation" may have shifted a bit depending on what generation someone hopped on that bus.
E.g. Nowadays, a lot is abstracted "as code", taking off that layer where you need to physically touch and tinker, negating the need to have that low level interface as foundation. Over the last couple of pages, there have been discussions around caches, forward and reverse proxies, networking, firewalling, content filtering, bios / firmware issues and so on. For the old timers, these were staples as most of those guys started out as tinkerers and enthusiasts, people that built their hardware and their own kernels just because . That was their foundation, but now I believe those functions are mostly explored and handled by the hardcore enterprise guys, service / cloud providers, OEMs, and the most curious of DIYers.

Today's current foundations are "Everything As Code", APIs / Abstraction Layers, yada yada yada, to the point where it might appear like a "wrong foundation" whereas IMO it's just different as times have simply evolved.

As for the money part, who no like money abeg? People will always try to find shortcuts and "easy" money. I don't know if it exists sha, but people will try. Every time, I hear I want to "learn teach" and make money, I go just laugh, tell the person to do some digging into it and try to understand what it entails and demands. If one is going into it for quick and easy money....well sha.

FEGEITOK:


@litaninja

Let me correct one phrase.

You know networking inside out, should replace the phase that are into networking which I used earlier.


Everything you said up there is valid.

I started by fixing PCs ( hardware) to software to running networks to supplying software to enterprises to architecting complete solutions from scratch incorporating software, hardware and consultancy.

Before I sell a solution, I actually personally play with it and have a working knowledge of the same.

My point is that knowing the basics and knowing them well is non-negotiable.

I use cybersecurity to get in some doors, but I am versed in several aspects of IT and I keep learning. My biggest grossing deal wasn't a cybersecurity deal, but cybersecurity opened the doors for me.

When I started, I bought books on subjects as diverse as open source intelligence techniques, database security, website security, web hacking, networking, windows server administration, computer evidence collection and preservation, Oracle hacking and devoured them, Official Certified Ethical Hacker also.

When these certifications came out, I bought the Official Study Guides books: Certified Wireless Security Professional (CWSP) and Certified Wireless Network Administrator(CWNP).

You need a foundation without which you cannot understand certain concepts. Money does not just appear from nowhere.

Well, for people who have been in the "corporate" world for a while and to a certain level, such inside happenings are not unusual or new. And for those who have combined it with a bit of entrepreneurship even better. Such a roller-coaster experience comes with the territory.

So, again. Fire down. Na once man de die.

DROP UPDATE!!!

FEGEITOK:


Although I said earlier: "It is a choice between chasing 10,000 clients paying 10,000.00 each on the one side OR say 10 clients paying 10,000,000.00"

It could also be 2 clients paying 50,000,000.00 or 1 client paying 100,000,000.00

Now imagine that 1 of the 2 clients paying 50,000,000.00 decides to drop you when you did nothing wrong. Say the CEO is retiring and decides that he needs to go home with your contract pay as his retirement package, so he substitutes your company with his junior brother's company.

You had no prior knowledge of this coming. What happens to your projections? What happens to everyone else who suffers from this executive action? Your staff? Your family life? Your love/romantic live? Can you handle the emotional toll that comes from things going this way?

If this happens in say September you have barely enough time to find an alternative or alternatives as mega corporate deals are rarely completed in 3 months, a 6 month to 9 month or even 12 month timeframe might be more realistic.

You know that unlike what happens on nairaland, you cannot call him out because if you do, no other person from that company will deal with you again. And if care is not taken, no other person from that industry as a whole will deal with you because you a snitch.

You also know that you cannot take it to court, because then you will put the whole world on notice that you are a fighter which might negatively affect the attraction of future business.

In addition, to the above, there is the stress of always learning, to stay ahead of the curve so you don't become a Nokia and continue to be relevant to your clients both current and future.

It could also be the other way around. You are the favored contractor getting all the juiciest of deals, and when there is a change of the guard, your patronage drops to zero in an instant. You are then relegated from most favored status to persona non grata.

Just a glimpse of stories from the trenches.

Can you really handle the heat?

You expect anyone to speak with courtesy to "ragtag looking armed officials", with no name tags, flagging you down at a checkpoint that their IG has banned every week for the last 10 years? To do a "survey", in the middle of the day, in the middle of the road?

How does any action described make sense that anyone will talk to them with sense

Henrypraise:
When a catholic bishop said the judges of the Supreme court are not from Singapore but scions of same badly bred Nigerians, some persons nodded in unionism because their ox was in the fight, not really because we hoped to do better or adapt to cause change.

Once same Nigerians are opporturned to stand in the podium of power to make decisions, the wrong choices are always made.

Today, I was in a shuttle on my way to koka coming from Asaba Airport, as we approached Mariam Babangida junction, some rag tag looking group of government armed men flagged us, I quickly scanned for badges, squad title and possible name/ number tags, the only remarkable identity I saw was anti cult vest donned by a gun wielding, young "officer".

While I was doing my mental scan, I became at ease when he spoke calmly and explained they are on a survey mission and if the shuttle driver wouldn't mind, he should pack and stop for a few survey questions. Immediately this "officer" spoke calmly, the guys inside the shuttle with me raised their voices and became instantly rebellious, I reclused myself mentally from the revolt and watched the psychological defeat of Nigerians who everyday cry for better synergy and treatment between civil and forced individuals...

I bet if the "officer" had spoken in the normal NPF fashion, no one would have been motivated to say pim. The best would have been to murmur and curse under one's breath...

It was when the shuttle developed fault just a few meters away that I knew all the talk of "I am late for work" bla bla bla were just shalaye and yen yen yen put together, people who were in a hurry couldn't come down to board another shuttle for 100 naira... Everyone including yours sincerely had to wait for the driver to trouble shoot.

So in a nutshell, do you think Nigerians
will be more responsible and cooperative when talked to with respect and courtesy Or rebellion will increase

Nobody is interested at this stage.
Instead, let the work do the speaking. It is better to explain how you TACKLED it after a new months when the inflation has gone down by say 30 - 40%. Because all this one na story.

lol. We were on NL here last week when the military was making phone calls to allow safe and smooth passage for terrorists in a certain part of the country.

Second person to ask.

It is a choice between chasing 10,000 clients paying 10,000.00 each on the one side OR say 10 clients paying 10,000,000.00

It is a whole new set of tactics to play in the later and not the former

It is a very risky sport, you can be burnt

Baba, drop the update na. Abi make everybody no switch?

FEGEITOK:


When the guy you quoted went full throttle, I was almost tempted to disclose that I once into networking. Until I discovered that true money does not lie in that part of IT and changed gears and thank God I did.

I know another guy who has become a billionaire from the switch. Hopefully, I will get there someday.

Interesting use of that enclosure. Is the "bottom" strong enough to bear the weight of the cells inside? Or are you reinforcing it somehow?

Nigerians are very easily impressed.
This "scarcity" or ""unavailability" has been an issue since 2018 at least. But Tunde has given marching orders, so magically in 2 weeks everything would be fine, and all of you are cheering and actually expecting any some useful outcome. Jokers.

A visiting foreign colleague visiting lagos said everywhere looked like a b*ombing raid just finished. The only place he had seen similar levels of decay was in iraq.

I've been to 15 states in Nigeria my whole life, and one thing I always notice is, Untarred roads, Lack of drainage system, Lack of proper planning e.t.c

Which always make me curious, Why does everywhere in Nigeria look like it got hit by a nuclear bomb? Why? Why don't we have modern streets and cities!!

Since the inception of Nigeria, I Don't think we have built any city, And please don't even mention Banana island, It's a piece of crap!!

It's sad that only about 3% of Nigeria is actually developed and the other 97% is just straight up piece of trash!!

Iyaebube:
It started last two Sunday at the children's department. They were taught covering of the body as a child of God and ever since that day, my son has not remain the same again on his way of reasoning. My husband n I was all joking about it but it's getting out of hand the way my son is going about it

What he does now is he doesn't allow us especially me to wear skimpy wear at home anymore.whenever I put it on he will be shouting mummy cover your "private part" even my last baby that's not up to 2 was playing with the sleeveless top she was wearing the chest was showing immediately my son started shouting baby cover your private part. The private part he use to shout instead of another word cover your body provoked me to flog him to stop using that word cos he's just 4.

The incident that happened yesterday made us speechless was my family n I went to have a nice time because since that last two Sunday my son haven't stepped out of the house. We decided to have fun yesterday only for my son to screaming mummy see this one she or he is showing there private part. It brought alot of attention to us that we quickly ended what we came out to do.

How do I handle this issue to clear it off his head cos I have spoken n spanked him to stop but this is what he refused to stop saying n is embarrassing. Of all they where thought in Sunday school, why did he chose this one to practically implement?

How can you put it on hold? I thought it was operational already??

I have noticed this more than once. Whenever i take a lady out to a fancy restaurant, she always looks for a way to talk down on the food and make it seem she’s been to better places.

This has happened more than once and with different ladies its not a cooncidence. Mind you, these are pricy restaurants.

For someone like me, even if the food is not good, i wont even say anything especially when im not paying.
