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.

Gerrard59:
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.

DamiBukola:
You don't go to the net and extract one piece of write up and start jumping like a snake whose head has been cut off

YOU HAVE WON THE ARGUMENT!
NOW, GO WAY!!!

DamiBukola:
Then stop nagging because I hate it with passion. Guys don't nag so stop it right now

I bet you didn't know the meaning of nagging!

This post was made last year! Lol!!!!

BeClever:
Why are you such a hypocrite?

Your hate for GEJ wasn't because of anything else other than tribal and regional sentiments...

It was easy for Tinubu, a well known criminal and international drug mogul to align all of you against a competent administration that was gradually setting the country free from the shackles it has endured for over 50yrs..

Peeps like you should hide your faces in shame and live the remaining of your life on apology to all the people your supposed ailing business was ment to feed.. You failed all of them..

Because of your wicked decision to vote this waste of human effort called Buhari, Kwashiorkor returned to Nigeria..

Who knows how you are going to apologize to those dying daily in Bornu from Kwashiorkor ..Oh! GEJ cause that too.. .lol!

This problem is affecting us all. Instead of fighting amongst ourselves, we should unite against oppression and bad government.
I am not for PDP or GEJ.
I am not for APC or BUHARI.

I AM FOR NIGERIA and if you convince me that you can lead this country properly and show me the plans, i will vote for you. Has nothing to do with tribe or religion.

My guy, be rest assured that i am doing very okay in this life.
My brother just graduated from a world class engineering school in U.S. and he is rejecting job offers for real.

I am still a mega multi millionaire with billionaire ambitions. This period is just a minor set back.

globe16:
Then stop complaining and enjoy the change you voted for.. You never opened this type of thread during the GEJ era and since it is now in your messiah buhari tenure you are experiencing this, it is the dividends of change you voted for. Man up and deal with it and also get ready for the worse. Your case is that of cutting off your nose to spite your face!

So, because i supported Buhari, i shouldn't complain about his failures?
So because i voted Buhari i shouldn't criticize the divisive nature of his government and lopsided nature of his appointments?

People like you are the problem we have with Nigeria.
Instead of fighting amongst ourselves, we should unite and fight to see the leaders that we have on seat do the right thing.
People like you are the reason why Divide and rule tactics of the government is conquering the masses.

If i see injustice against a Yoruba, i will fight for him
If i see injustice against an Igbo, i will fight for him
If i see injustices against an Hausa, i will fight for him.

Do not let sentiments and political affiliatiations becloud common sense.

This dog obviojsly has a better and neater set of teeth.
Despite all the money okowa has, he has been unable to fix his teeth.
His teeth looks like its gonna stink badly.

Nigeria have lost most of her best citizens to other countries.
From atletes, to artisans, to medical practitioners and scientists.
We have been blessed with the best brains but cursed with terrible leaders.

Just imagine where we would be if we supported our youths?

Just imagine where we would be if most of us didn't dream of travelling to london or us in search of better lives cos we have all we need here?

Congratulation to this girl.
Lets celebrate another excellent gene we lost to other countries.
Lets celebrate our failures.


@seun
You seem not to know how powerful your website is.
Your moderators should maintain professionalism at all times.
Which one is "yoruba pastor"s daughter"?

Regardless of tribal affiliation we should all sspeak against such injustice cos it can happen to anyone.
This man did absolutely nothing wrong to name his dog buhari.
When did we become so blood thirsty that any little provocation can destabilize our communities?



We the masses should speak against this evil. If this was a rich man, nothing would have happened to him.

Makes no sense

PataAlhaja:
Are you for real? Even with the DasukiGate saga?

A President who said "stealing is not corruption".

GEJ is the worst thing to happen to Nigeria!

Sometimes I get confused.
I supported buhari during the election but so far, it's been one disappointment to another.

I made a lot of loss running Into millions within the last three months due to cbn unstable policies
My brother, how do you expect me to feel?

Let there be peace.
All this tribal bashing will not take us anywhere.
Anyway, true federalism is the way to go. It has always been the way to go.
Let's also give igbos some credit for being the people that laid down their lives for cause.

Mistakes have been made. We are here now!!
Let's move the fucccck on...

I know two Yoruba guys that benefitted from the Cyprus scholarship .
The scholarship that was the Niger delta s was the NDDC scholarship.

The other scholarships were for every eligible Nigerians.
