why is dat it. takes more than one year to evict a tenant when d case finally gets to d court, is it case of d decay in d judicial system or what do u think

Various factors.
Overburdened justice system, legal bottlenecks, delay tactics by parties. However, from experience,where both parties clear things from the onset, there's less likelihood of friction and room for misunderstanding.

Bros na you I dey find since!! I'm not trying to play a fast one on him like many people have been saying. Like I said in my OT, I have the money to renew but I don't want to and the money with me at the moment won't be enough to rent the kinda house I want to cos I maybe staying pretty long in my new post and location. AuroraB seem to understand perfectly what I'm saying. Like she told a dude earlier, which actually the problem here, the frequency of the message couple with his antecedents, has made dialogue seem like a very big deal. My question is actually HOW DO I HANDLE HIM BY JAN 1ST TILL END cos this one wey my rent norva end and he dey send me messages like this, what will happen when my rent eventually ends and I'm at his mercy??

Really need you to reply this.
Thanks.

When does your rent expire?

Find a way to communicate with your landlord tell him you got his several messages. Tell him you'll be leaving in February ending (even if you want to leave by Jan ending).

Also, tell him you don't want to owe him before you leave. He won't ask you to pay for the full year, you'll pay for only the time you'll be spending there. If you do that, you shouldn't have problems.

If he refuses, then you'll treat him as an unreasonable person. There's something you would do that you won't pay anything before you leave in Jan ending.

Thanks jare. Let them know�

Look around you, the wealthiest people around, what did they study in school?

You're talking about Dangote's children, what did Dangote do that he was able to secure his children's future? This attitude of blaming others for your present state won't help you grow.

Go and think about what you can do that brings value to people, something they're willing to pay for. That's how wealth is generated. You provide goods and services to those willing to pay for it.

The most successful people aren't defined by what they studied in school but what they do after studying in school.

Chin up bro, you're one day closer to your breakthrough!

You no say for 9ja context, suing the landlord for harassment will be a waste of time.

He should just ignore the guy, block his number and make sure he pays his rent on time, month to month until he moves.

Lol.
He moved in as a yearly tenant, now wants to change it into a monthly tenancy?

He better pray he doesn't jam someone like me.

frenzyduchess:
well the bolded indicates you are not in the category of people I was referring to, you cook cos you don't want to eat out, the example I used has passion for cooking and is even a chef, you can't compare both

You have a point.

frenzyduchess:
exactly, imagine having to cook for bae and he enters kitchen to cook his own, e get as e be na, I personally don't want a man that can cook more than me,atleast if he can cook concoction rice that's enough for me

Don't let your insecurity deprive you of a wonderful relationship.

I cook pretty well and even find it difficult to eat out cos of the nonsense most people cook here in Lagos. I'm single and cook my meals. However, when bae comes over, she takes over the kitchen. Whatever she cooks is final.

Na condition make man dey enter kitchen.

linearity:
But, sending him a txt everyday on the subject when the OP’s rent is not even due is harassment.

The OP does not owe him a renewal notice if the agreement did not state that. Most agreements defaults to month-to-month contract after the initial tenure.

Then, he should sue the landlord for harassment but pay the rent.

Funny responses everywhere.

As a lawyer, I come in contact with various kinds of people who show 50 shades of madness both landlords and tenants.

What I do is that once an property is being let out, I prepare the 'Tenancy agreement, Quit notice and Intention to Recover Premises' at the same time.

Immediately the tenant signs his tenancy agreement, he gets his quit notice also. The Quit notice is dated a year ahead and terminates exactly the day the tenancy expires. Also, I hand the Intention to recover premises to the landlord to use it as a joker once the tenancy expires.

Those advising the OP to sit tight and prove stubborn won't be there to help him carry his luggage when thrown out. Also, the court would make him pay for every extra day spent on the property.

One comedian even said the OP should hire an SAN, Nairalanders sha! The OP's annual rent is not enough to pay an SAN to sign a single letter.

my friend killed this snake this afternoon near his house when he was clearing his garden. i don't know the name though,

Snake in his garden ke?

Is your friend cultivating the garden of Eden?

Efewestern:
The VP slot is definitely going to SE, I hope they pick soludo as vp, my fear is atiku becoming the president, the guy will be worst than buhari.

I don't think those guys are planning to give the VP ticket to SE..

That fox in Ekiti is up to something.

NothingDoMe:
wow! Looks like a space station.

God should please have mercy on us. Nations are advancing in geometrically while we are advancing asymmetrically.

God should do what?

You can't hold of your leaders accountable, you can't question irrational decisions, you can't fight for your rights, you can't stand for something and you're disturbing God?

The only society built by God is Heaven, other human societies were built by humans. Let's stop dragging God into matters that he has given us the power to handle.

femmmmy:
You people are just crying more than the bereaved, let the members of the church complain

Please take several seats and let those who have something to contribute speak up.

Living Faith Inc is a charity registered organisation under the laws of Nigeria and as such I have every right to express myself.

Collect money from church members in the name of God but use it to buy luxury items in your own name.

Nigerians have the abnormal propensity to counterfeit every good thing, even religious things.

Flexherbal:
Can we are have a President as young as this in Nigeria?

It is not just about the age of a leader, but the age of his ideas.

For God's sake, look at Yahaya Bello!

The spirit of Festac '77 came visiting

Which spirit of Festac 77?

A tanker with faulty brakes somersaulted and there were no emergency responders promptly on scene. Instead of looking for the causes of the accident and how to prevent reoccurrences, you're blaming the spirits of Festac 77.

Is it the spirit of Festac 77 that wore sneakers for the driver of the truck and asked him to run away?

Let's start using our brains to solve our problems.

orion7:
op you seem influencial. seek an audience with alhaji atiku. join his campaign band. vote buhari out

what you need is a political intervention.

buhari has made shiek a political prisoner!!!

if there is a change in govt the shiek will be released.
mynnd44

On the contrary, I don't think political solutions can be used to fight injustice.

El-Rufai visited this same Zakzaky when he was soliciting for votes. Unfortunately, he is the architect of Zakzaky's travails.

I don't think Atiku would do anything different from the nonsense that is on ground.

greenhulk:
U should look up Doug demuro on YouTube, he only reviews expensive car, u will never see him review a Toyota Highlander or Honda Accord. And he has reviewed a lot of supercars. What he basically do is show u the quirks and fun parts of the car which many reviewers don't do.

Thanks sir, will do.

The change we experienced in 2015 was a change from a government of dumb thieves to a government of lying thieves.

Lying has become the hallmark of this administration. They take ridiculous actions and you see old men telling kindergarten lies.

It took the Maina memo leak for us to know that Buhari is also part of these dishonest men. He'll keep quiet as if he is ignorant of things but his minions would be running his dirty jobs for him.

Those reviewing the car can't afford it and those buying the car don't review it.

queenfav:
Lol.. I can relate. I and the Doctor at the law school clinic were besties because I was always falling sick. It's either body pain, or malaria or skin reaction.Sharing a medium size room with 5 other ladies was the hardest thing i have had to do all my life!
.
Aceing law school is just by His grace. I know of someone who had a first class in Uni, but left law school with a pass because he was seriously sick during bar finals. I was always praying for good health during tbe exams, because I dreaded having to return to law school for resit. At least i have the kpali now, and my mother has bragging rights (My daughter is a lawyer)... Lol

LOL.
On the day of call, the joy expressed by parents is more than that of the new wigs.

May God help us to make the best use of our 'kpali' o!
Wishing you the best in practice.

Yahooplusplus:
stop this foolishness, no exam is easy.

Boy, stop talking like an ill-bred child.
Study properly and take your mind off crime, you'll ace exams easily.

aspirebig:
All these difficulties are not in any way peculiar to just law school....they are common in Nigeria Public Universities. .I don't know of the private universities. ...

I attended Obafemi Awolowo University before going to the Law School and I'm telling you that Bar finals are hell. I've experienced both and it's the honest truth.

queenfav:
I agree. Passing Bqr finals is by God's grace

Was in Lagos campus back then, the Bar exam week was Hell.

Had malaria but couldn't take drugs cos they would wear me down before I get better. Had to avoid medicines and took lemon grass and tea. That was what I took in place of water all through the Bar finals week.

Looking back, I still don't understand how I passed as well as I did.

Congratulations dear.

Learn all you can on your new job, improve on your skills, be humble, ambitious and don't look down on anyone.

Perfect your Excel, PowerPoint, Word and client service skills.

Look out for new opportunities and the sky would be your starting point.

It is utmost wickedness and unconscionable evil to tie down the destiny of someone who speaks good English, has an OND and is computer literate for a full month just for 7,000 Naira.

If you can't afford a secretary, it's not by force to hire one. Why in God's name would you think of this act of slavery? Are you aware that a bricklayer in Ibadan makes more than that in 3 days?

Try to employ technology in your practice, file your documents in the cloud, get a printer at home and in the office, schedule your meetings for when you'll be present in the office, by all means do something creative but don't engage a human being for this ridiculous pittance.

The reason why a lot of lawyers struggle in their practice is because they treat their staff poorly and pay peanuts. If the firm is still growing, wait till it grows enough for you to afford to pay a secretary.

Don't worry, I'll ask Rochas to appoint you the Commissioner for Frustration.

You are then making progress. Ride on. The lord is your strength.

Yeah, he made progress and rode on while he was on Ese Walters.

Freeze has sniffed all of them out of their holes. See them scrambling over each other to tell us long stories.

Those who come upon sudden wealth often end up overcompensatesating for deprived childhoods.

By the way, I'm still waiting for this man's robust reply to the allegations of adultery brought on by Ese Walters.

If soldiers come into a shrine, destroy the shrine and the gods are either unable to prevent the invasion or avenge the destruction of the shrine, such god is not worthy of worship.

I think you should worship the soldiers who are more powerful than the gods and could destroy them.
