A thread was created earlier today asking Landlords and landladies to share their experiences with tenants.

Link to the thread https://www.nairaland.com/6770910/landlords-landladies-share-experiences-tenants

Well, it didn't generate much traffic because we all know how it is living with a landlord or landlady here in this part of the world, they are always the ones looking for tenant's trouble especially the landladies who feel tenants should worship them each morning they wake up.

Please tenants, let's hear your experiences with your landlords and landladies. I'm sure readers won't ever make the mistake of living in the same building with landlords and landladies after going through this thread.

4-5 pages and it still no generate traffic I rest my case !!!

I just completed a tenant house this month and it was a standard house. I am thinking of giving it out to girls alone because of issues guys always bring in a rented house. Please, how do I rent it out without tenancy headache? I base outside the country and my mum is only available person to monitor it. I need sincere advice

Baba get a competent, trustworthy and down to earth lawyer + caretaker. Tenancy agreement is top notch. And forget say ladies no dey spoil properties, clear that notion off ur head sir.

seankim:
I don’t deal with my tenants. My caretaker deals with the headache.
One of the tenants rented a room and parlor self and I called him to order when I discovered that there are at least 14 people living in his apartment. The caretaker had served him a quit notice at exactly 6 months to the expiration of his current rent.
I pay for all the necessary maintenance and my house doesn’t need much maintenance. My caretaker keeps a close eye on the tenants.
I hope to build another sets of apartments next year by Gods grace. It’s a cool source of income that doesn’t require much attention.

God wey do ur own, no go forget me too ooo.

eagleeye2:
As a landlord always try to get everything or almost everything fixed before a prospective tenant move in. Also never forget to sign tenancy agreement with your tenants, very important. Do not be overly friendly with tenants, but have a humane heart and a listening ear. If you can do all these it will take an utterly irrational, wicked and jealous tenant to still cause problems for you.
I was once too good to a tenant that he started thinking that he can dictate to me and even insult me. But I showed him my werey side and eventually kicked him out. He went about spoiling my name and that of the compound. But God who sees everything later vindicated me.
Also avoid renting to Pastors. They are some of the worst kind of tenants you can ever have. (Apologies to the true men of God).

You are so right and I can clearly relate to these you’ve mentioned and highlighted

Pegi23:
Some tenants are theifs..broke down our store room and store the spare pumping machine we kept there and also destroy their apartment before leaving...we are in different local government tho so we went over that same week to check the apartments and gosh lagos tenants are something else

Those ones are thieves and bandits put together.

Meedon:
Una go kill our vulture griller one day ooooo

I Dey tell you. Still dunno Wetin that guy do most guys on here I swear

tope777:
My tenant was giving birth to children like rat yearly inside the 2 bedroom apartment with one toilet and the toilet started getting leakage issue from time to time.
I called him sometimes ago that there is need to move out especially to more spacious apartment even with more toilets, the guy man still claiming right.
Sometimes it's not about landlord but some tenants are naturally wicked.

Should we call that poverty or stupidity?? Ur advice to him would be sounding to him as if you are not considerate or you been wicked. Baba as long as dem still dey, toilet do dey spoil ni ooo

Kay25:
yes though there is nothing wrong to get adequate services u paid for but most of them will just put all the burden on u even expect that u should fix their broken bed or furniture for them.to those pastors not their fault they do expect u to give them a regard as MOG once u don't do that beef will happen then they start seeing u as a person who has acquire the earth and not going to heaven

Hahahahaha, no mind some tenants tho. Fixing their mattress and even kitchen cabinet wey dem spoil? Lol. And those MOG go dey expect u make you sef dey over loyal to them so they can be controlling you. Once u no dey look their side, u don turn devil Pikin.

Focusmind:
All the tenants within my neighborhood are you boys. Someone finished converting his duplex to mini flat and rented all the apartment to yahoo boys. I asked him why and he said the yahoo boys are the only ones now with capacity to pay rents. Indeed, across the estate, most of the houses are being rented to G-guys unlike when some Landlords would prefer working class.

This is where we find ourselves in this country bro. They believe those guys can pay any amount requested from them within second

okuwehcris:
Some tenant can be very terrible, how my tenants called me to come and fix pumping that I installed in good condition,
A tenant pleaded with me on how tight business is for him and I decuded to give him 3months grace, only for the other tenant to inform me that the guy personally told her he will purposely delay my rent. I am just patiently waiting for the 3months to elapse. The good thing is that he signed an agreement for a year rent and receipt issued...I just imagined how stupid can someone be

You can imagine how some people can be an ingrate. Person wey you try ur best to help fa ? Oga oo

gabbytabby:
For what purpose. The policy is always to keep it moving. Them go meet with their Waterloo for front.

Nigeria's problem is the average Nigerian. They end up spoiling it for those who want to do the right thing.

My eye don see.

It’s always been like that everywhere. Na God go save us for this country wey we dey Baba

feldido:
You call this terrible? You de this country sef

See nice house wey he dey call terrible. I don tell am make he dey grateful as some people dey homeless as we speak

feldido:
My tenant bypassed the prepaid meter that it's too expensive cos she has freezers. This is a meter I spent 49k to install, and also cleared over 30k bill the former tenant accrued. I just went there and cut everything off without informing her. Next thing this woman went to police claiming I beat her and she lost her pregnancy as a result of it.


The other one has become too friendly to me that he's yet to pay his rent and I don't know what to do now. And I don't see how he's going to pay before the next rent(December) will reach. I'm thinking of asking him to leave without paying what he's owed to avoid stories that touch.

Bro but are you sure you don’t touch the woman? Cos I’m wondering the wound wey she go show police as evidence say you beat am. Pls take am easy and let the police see the reasons you cut her light.
And for ur 2nd tenant, he don know ur weakness Na why he dey over friendly to you. If you can waive his previous rents for him, that’s good but let him know someone else has paid and he should kindly leave.

GreaterFuture:
Pls pls pls������...
If you are reading this,
I been a victim of extreme injustice
Since 2018, these two tenants and a church member I used to belong too, have risen above demon level.

I know I would need a combined team of Army men, Police and Lawyers to deal with this.
If you have experience handling these Tenant issues and can provide sure connect of legal, Military and police backing, Pls help me

I think police and lawyers should get involved. I wish you the very best though

ETIIKO:
See where a human is living, it terrible.

And be grateful u still get where you dey lay ur head, a lot are homeless bro. Be contented

Bfss:

Brandonx:

AmuEbule:
Please stop this garbage and share your experience as a landlord or Land lady.
This is why most of you fail exams and repeat classes. This your support for Buhari is obviously damaging you

Lol �.

propzncribz:
I will share my experience as an indirect landlord. I pay for duplexes and rent out the rooms individually, converting the living room to a bedroom too.

I have done this severally but a particular house, the tenants were really dodgy and messed up. Some tenants just don't like to pay rent or when their rent is expired, they are expecting free months while they look for house. I stopped collecting agreement after a few years and right now any tenant who wants to stay extra months will have to pay up front for it. If they owe for more than a week, sometimes four days, I change the keys to the exit doors of the house and only give the tenants not owing the new keys. Usually the same day or next tenant pays for another month and moves out or sometimes very rarely offers to pay for another year.

Chaiii ur own strictness and rules na die

illicit:
I will become a landlord one day....

I reserve my comment till then

Amin ooo. I claim that too

Oblongata:
My tenant once deprived me of entry to the property. It was a church I rented it out to and they told me I didn’t have right to enter. I got the police involved and the said pastor claimed I broke the padlock to the place hence, reason why they put the place under lock. We settled and I had them kicked out. I mean, what is a church hiding that you would lock the gate to the compound and deny everyone entry unless during church hours.

Did you truly broke the lock while you are trying to gain entrance to the church?? If yes, seriously u no try. Why not going there when they are right there

Kay25:
Tenants can be frustrating seriously some cam be good as human behaviour are not the same but I tell u 90 percent of any fight between landlord and tenants are from the tenants always going against the rule,agreement and seeing landlord as their enemies

Hmm Kay I wouldn’t agree with ur 90% statistics Na Wetin u see be that

G450:
Con head landlords na no go area o ... They can disturb for African, my shop landlord dey add moni for my rent every year, if not that is shop I for don park

What’s been his reason for the incessant increments??

stunnert:
Shut it right there. Mr man were you not paid the rents

Y'all landlords need to tone down your fvcking ego

U can just imagine oo, make dem no feel at home cos dem be tenants ? Nkan be oo

bmdmix11:
dying thread.

u should have said tenant should tell bout their encounter with landlords/gods

You fit create that one too Na. Dying thread kee u there

Patrioticman007:
My exlandlord inherited his house from his dad, before I entered the house many tenants were complaining about his character. To cut the story short, after I have moved on, he sold the property for political campaign of which he lost the election, sadly for him ,he is now a tenant in another mans property. What an irony, I pray every tenant to own a roof over their head by the grace of Allah, personally, amin.

Subhanallah, a tragic story for the prodigal son I must say. Reason why some parents don’t believe in acquiring properties all in the name of making my kids inherit them.

Kreamie:
My landlord and I went to shoot some hoops today. Cool man

He’s in his 60s by the way.

You get luck bro. No dey misuse that privileges tho.

Kingsuave:
See VulturebbQGrills

We dey yarn about real landlords wey get real property,No be that your stand wey you dey use Grill dead and rotten vulture meats.

King off ur mic abeg

Dshocker:
Landlords should understand that the country is tough,and the economy is terrible

That’s where leniency should be considered for the tenants. They themselves (tenants) shouldn’t misused the privileges. Plead to ur landlords to give you few times to pay up, then fulfill that promise as at when due
