Everythin about naija is mediocre. Even the things we take pride in are mediocre!!

Ghana ti take over

We the youths are making the same mistake our fathers made.
None of us was born with hate. Unfortunately, most parents didnt do a good job raising their children to love other Nigerians. Even if you do not love other Nigerians, show them some respect.

This applies to all tribe.

I tink dis is a good idea, but what if when de tenant is about to vacate and u make repair expenses of, say 70k, will u refund de 30k to de tenant?

If the damage cost more than 50k to fix, younwill not get anything back.
Any damage that costs more than 50k would most likely require exta work in the future.

I could have returned the old sink but it was of lesser quality than what I put in... I told the Landlord about the upgrades. I knew very well all the rental laws.. Hells my fathers properties were just a few streets away from there.

We talked about it, the Landlord (via his caretaker agreed), as long as I didnt damage the main structure of the House (which I didnt).

I did up the house because I couldn't stand the poor quality of materials used in the house. Everything was rusting away even before I moved in and he saw it. The Landlord admitted that the Upgrades were really nice and didnt deface the property. But he just wouldn't give me back my money..

I get it now!!
Haba... hes giving the business a bad name. Stay away form pple like that guy.

MadCow1:
Would you change a single sink to double sink if I asked?

Most likely not. You saw the apartment before you moved in right?
What I owe you is to make sure everything is in great working condition and if you need maintenance, you will get it asap.

Just consider the apartment to be an hotel.
You do not renovate an hotel do you

MadCow1:
Interesting..

I changed a single sink to a double sink.. Changed the cheap ass cabinet in the Kitchen to a well designed kitchen cabinet with glass..

I changed the Taps in all the bathrooms to imported Taps and fittings..

Changed the Shower head from that Local plastic type to the foreign type.



Look, I am also a Landlord, I dared the landlord to go look at all the other 8 flats and come check mine and tell me I did damage to the property..

The Man was being petty.. 150,000 naira was what he was shying away from returning. I thought about pulling out all the upgrades I made and leaving, but I realized it would make me petty and malicious, bring me down to his level and make me look rachet.

I just walked away.. Guess what, the person who rented my place loved it and didn't need to do any darn thing to the place.


There is a difference between an upgrade and damage.

Example: If you rented the property with Plastic tiles and your tenant upgrades those tiles to marble tiles, you would be a cheap skate to use that as an excuse to withhold their damage deposit.

Hehehe....
All repairs/ renovation should be done by the landlord.
Any unpermitted renovations or repairs is tantamount to damage.

If you mist make renovations, then you should revert things exactly the way it was before you leave.
Fit back the old sinks and all the old stuffs and have them in working conditions.

If everyone renovates a property to their taste, then there would be a problem.
We need all the apartments to be in uniform condition.


I hope you take this as a lesson. You were at fault.
If those renovations were unpermitted, then its as good as damages.

MadCow1:
Because it does not not matter how well you take care of the property, most fhucking landlords will never refund you you damage deposit.


My first rented apartment which I paid 2 years for and made so much upgrades to the fake and halfassed fittings the fhucking landlord put in and only lived for 6 months inside due to a relocation from Port Harcourt to Lagos, the landlord still refused to return my damage deposit despite the house being in the same pristine condition I rented it.

I told the fhucker I wished I did some damage because he is an absolute arsshole.


With regards to the situation you described, chances are the place is semi-serviced and it's the Landlords employee that isn't doing his job of manning the pumps.

I always encourage tenants to take a snap shot of the apartment before they move in.
If you did any major renovation to the apartment without permission, that also consists of damages and will result in your deposit being withheld.

Personally, I always pay back the damage deposit unless there are actual damages in the apartment.

There is a way to go about this.
As a landlord, i take a deposit of 100,000 from every tenant moving into my building.

This 100k would be returned to the tenant when they are moving out if the apartment is in good conditions just like the way it was when they moved in.

The term "good condition" was clearly defined in the landlord tenant agreement.


So far, I haven't had any issue with any tenants and my property has always been in good shape.

Unless the meaning of big of big boys has changws, these men are no big men.
They are criminals.

Our banks are also not helping matters. They would rather give loans to serial debtors than ti genuine businessmen.

This is false. Most of their hostess are Asians. Indonesians, Malaysians, Vietnamese etc. The average Middle Eastern female wouldn't do this job due to culture.

Thanks for the information.
Hat doesn't change the fact that its easier for a preg ant camel to pass through the ey of a needle than for a Nigerian to be accepted.

hehehe

Unless they specifically request for people from Nigeria, don't bother applying cos a Nigerian wouldn't make the cut.
They hire mainly from the middle east even though they publicize their positions to the whole world!

WhoRUDeceiving:
My guy where were you in March 2015? Did you not ask yourself this question then, or were you brainwashed by all the APC SAI BUHARI pictures then?

Did you expect an old coupist to come 30 years later to do wonders?

He is there to try to guarantee for his Fulani grandkids a stake in the wealth drilled from the South and/or East and nothing more. He and people like him know that they will soon go back to their creator and that people around the world are rediscovering who they are (AVENGERS, IPOB, etc) and will challenge the zoo created by England.

That is why in his administration nothing dey happon...

JONATHAN WASN'T AN OPTION FOR ME.
BUHARI SEEMED LIKE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE BUT SO FAR, HE HAS BEEN PROVING EVERYBODY WRONG.
SO CHILL!! IT IS MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO VOTE FOR WHOEVER I WANT AND I VOTED BUHARI! SAME WAY I SUPPORTED JONATHAN IN 2008; SAME WAY I WILL VOTE FOR ANYONE THAT CAN CONVINCE ME HE WILL DO BETTER THAN BUHARI.

INSTEAD OF CRYING OF SPLIT MILK, WE THE MASSES SHOULD RECONCILE OUR DIFFERENCES AND HOLD WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE, ACCOUNTABLE.
