chaircover:

My mum is probably one of the softest landladys ever.

One tennant is even owing her for well over a year even though the rent hasnt been increased since he moved in 8 years ago. Yet he is having babies nearly every year, In this Lagos!

From My experience i think Landladies are far far more liberal than Landlords because they have that emotional sympathetic way of listening to tenants and assisting to make sure certain amenities are in place. They are only strict and extreme disciplinarians when it comes to the quiet enjoyment of the property in terms of noise, pollution, smoking, entertaining unwanted vistors etc.

But Landlords could be very crude in respecting the wishes of tenants in respect of Amenities and it could take ages before they even answer you to repair that bad roof but when its the end of the year to collect rent, they will already contact their lawyers 6 months to your expiry to start disturbing you to vacate the premises or to inform you about the 20000% increase

Landladies are far better than most Lagos Landlords!

Lawyer,

landlady wey don chop her husband (a la the poster) nor go get any mercy o. You the kind of war she go dey fight with the husband people go don toughen her up for all her callousness. Talking seriously, those that fall into the category described by the poster are usually mean.

may God forgive me sha, since I have not really experienced anything like that and I'm talking like this.

Don't know

Funny question

Diffferent people have different reasons/factors that make them behave the way they do.

Being wicked has got nothing to do with

1. Gender
2. Tribe
3. Occupation
4. Race

You can add more to the list if you like.

I believe you can find these category of LAND LADIES in the east. Particularly Anambra state. The're a rip-off

this question is way too general

Most Ladies is control are generally wicked

maybe the landlords may be able to answer this question better

My MAMA aight wicked. . . . . . . . The question is way too General

@poster
wat do u undastand by been wicked? If u be landlord/lady if a tenant is owing u 4 a yr or 2, tell me say u go clap 4 am & shake him. Pls askn 4 his or her house rent is nt been wicked unless there are oda factors u need 2 let us no.

had a badd experience in my undergraduate days. haga d witch is a saint where my landlady is!

however, u win some, u lose some,

landladies are so wicked, simply because they are women that does not embrace second thougth before getting things done.

because they're landladies

Fimmy:

Most Ladies is control are generally wicked 

and the prove? what study did you conduct to have arrived at this dumb conclusion?

Ok they are wicked, sooo? Does that mean I shouldn't rent an apartment of my choice if I have to contend with a landlady. Lai lai. She is secondary.

@Topic.
Funny.

Not only in landladyship,women wt power are generally either extremely caring,compassionate and kind or extremely heartless. Most men r usually moderate, indifferent. My lady boss in my former coy was overly kind hearted. U were only un42nate 2 av met women 4rm d negativ xtrem, i heard of landladies so liberal dat u'll tink she had filial rel wt her tenants,so close.

Well,
I don't agree with you.
Not all of them are like that.

i can not really say ye or ney but i have had 3 landladies experience, 1st was my aunt, we have a very huge family house in PH and she looks after it, we all call her Mommy because she was just the sweetest thing ever after honey, she was way too kind and caring that i was being to think that all the tenants were our relatives but what did i know then, i was like 7 or 8 yrs old. i also had another experience with 2 other landladies, one during my NYSC and the other right after my NYSC and they were the very devils. u can't get any worse than these ladies even if u pray and fast for it; they were mean, wicked and down right evil. the one during the NYSC was in ogun, she had her husband grave in the building and spent alot of time at the grave raining down curses on poor corpers and then government, this usually happens when the local government is late in paying our rent to her, we did our best to avoid her during those times. she also didn't like most of us city kids bcuz we dont give in to some of her rituals and we don't obey her warnings or we take down any charm placed on our doors in the name of protection, this really gets them pissed off at corpers. the other experience was right after i got out of NYSC and got a job in lagos, where i went to live was just one big trouble. the landlady was a woman who was put in charge of her father's property and she was something else. she was even mean to her nephews that lived there, so i guess we were no big suprises. all in all, it comes down to the general mentality of the person in question.

Not all landladies are strict.some are understanding and they treat everybody as their family.

90% of landladies are wicked. 10% are understanding.

While doing my NYSC, my landlady (she has three mature, fine gaals ) is always locking the gate as early as 9pm and usually locks me out!

Now, isn't that WICKEDNESS?

I finally confronted her one Saturday morning after being locked out (and l was not owing rents!).
She proceeded to lecture me about "staying out late" and that what l am LOOKING FOR OUTSIDE IS RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE IN THE COMPOUND!
Hmmm, aaahh, now l see

Now, isn't she SOOO NICE?, , l could call her an ANGEL

By the way, we became friends thereafter!

Seriously, pray NEVER-EVER to meet one of dem "witch-landlady", l bet you would tell a different story!

@Poster, l can feel you, l know what you going through. Pray you would find an alternative soonest.

some of them, but not all
