Please, I want to verify this.

In a situation, a tenant needs to terminate its rent immediately due to relocation without notifying the landlord in 3months advance as the Law says and still have 5months rent left.

1. How many months refund is he due for from the Landlord or is he entitled to the full 5-month rent left.
2. ANy law backing the above answer.

Thanks in advance

If you terminate your tenancy without notisfying the landlord, most landlords might no refund you part of the rent.

If you want to terminate due to relocation, kindly write to him or his agent if any stating that you want to terminate the tenancy due to relocation and would want a refund of your outstanding rent.
When the letter is received, a pro rata rent will be calculated based on the day you handover the keys to apartment to landlord till the date of expiration of your rent after proper inspections have been carried out to determine repairs and accrued bills on the apartment.
If there are repairs or outstanding elextricity bills, they will be deducted from the pro rata rent . Also, if you paid refundable caution deposit, that would also be refunded to you after a calculations.

Note, landlord might not pay you at that moment. It is usually when another tenant pays for the apartment, then they will deduct the money from the new tenant rent and pay you. So dont expect it to be a fast track issue unless the landlord has money to spare.

a pro-rata rent will be calculated from the day you handover keys to the date of expiration of the rent.

just remembered my first flight...

if you want to travel by air to abuja, check the airlines online for their flight schedules and prices. Arik Air is most times the cheaper flight to Abuja. Though at the moment Air ticket has sky rocketed due to the xmas season. Book your flight online, they will send you details of the flight, time for departure etc.

Go to Domestic Wing of MMA, the one close to National Bus stop with a valid I.D Card (National, Voters, Staff I.D, or International Passport). When you get to the airport, please and please don't answer those people that want to assist from the door, na job them go job you (from experience, many of the people at the airport dey find money, unless you want to be benevolent). Scan around, you will see your Air Plane counter, walk to the counter and present your I.D card for boarding pass. some may still ask for the e-ticket sent to you from the airline for confirmation. If you have luggage to declare, declare them for tagging and weighing. You are entitled to 20kg or so, will definitely be indicated on your ticket.

Then proceed for boarding with your boarding pass. The security guys will tell you to remove your shoes, wrist watch, phone and pass it through the scanner. After that, you sit at the waiting area for the announcement of your plane for departure.

When you get to the plane for boarding, look for your sit either window, middle or exit sit. Listen to the safety instructions, fasten your sit belt and enjoy your flight.

Cheers

Many things exist in this world that is beyond us. The way we believe angels exist, demons, satan, is the same way mermaids exist.

People even worship mermaids that i know. Well they said experience is the best teacher. Many people will doubt things until they experience it themselves.

I dey doubt witchcraft until i see am for akwa ibom first hand. No be person tell me. I had to run away from the house leaving behind my properties

Brother am telling you what i no . landlord have gave me quit notice and in that months i did not pay kobo and he never ask for it .

That landlord just left you on his own. That period you became a tenant at will.

The landlord's mind is just leave let me rent the house to another person and collect new agreement fees, caution deposit and rest of them. He might even rent it out on a new rental price to the new tenant.

Biko pray not to meet a landlord that has time for court matter. You were just lucky, don't feel it is your right and expect every landlord to be benevolent like your former landlord.

What are you people saying please ? you gave me six months to quit and you want me to pay you money for that six months? not all Nigerian's are 419 and every body is fool . Why six months ?

Nwanne m, i have said it and will say it again. If you are not convinced go and read landlord and tenants law.

If it is abroad, you wont be saying this thing i swear. They sue for any little thing. I have a lot of experience in this tenant and landlord matter.

@op,

Let me break down this notice of a thing for you. First and foremost find tenant and landlord law and read to have a grasp of each parties obligation and also go through your tenancy agreement.

Six months notice is given to a yearly tenant, definitely we know we hardly have weekly and monthly tenants in nigeria. According to lagos state tenancy law, a tenant is given 7days notice with the expiration at effluction of time. This means that if you recently just moved into the property, at the end of your tenancy they landlord is to give you 7days notice to quit. But once he collexts rent for the 2nd, 3rd and subsequent years, he is to give you 6months notice to quit.

If your rent for example runs from january to december, at the end of december he is to give you 7days notice if he doesnt want renewal. This is why most agreements will say you write intention to renew probably 6months or 3months to expiration of your rent.

So within this period each party can declare its intention to renew or not renew. So the landlord can give you notice to quit on the 1st of july to expire december.

Since your rent has already expired, and he gives you notice to quit. You are supposed to pay for the six months and vacate the property except on his waiver of rent for the period. Once he waives that period, you become a tenant at will to him.

If you prove stubborn and it leads to litigation. Once judgement is given, you are mandated by law to pay mesne profit from day one to the day possession is given by court, inclusive of all accrued utility bills owed even repair claims can be added if you spoil things in the house.

Why people feel you dont pay during the notice period is because during court proceedings, most tenants Absconds and our legal system is bad. You dont mess up with rent abroad. They do monthly tenancy and once you default you are logged out of either electricity, water etc. And can be sued immediately.

If you meet a landlord that has money to pursue court case, you wont find it funny. I have done so many tenant and landlord cases and i am telling you facts. Instead to fight, just dialogue with your landlord and sort things out.

I dont know your location. Some landlords use diabolic or traditional ways to evict tenants and you know who will lose. All this people will not be there with you when the isse escalates.

I have used court, i have used mediation centre and i hae also used traditional method to evict tenant. Please, nothing as sweet as peace. Than to be leaving your office to go and sit in the court room dragging something that has high probability to go against you in thr court room.

#cheers

Go and ask three lawyers about this .

Lawyer go wan chop money. I am an estate surveyor, i have handled lot of tenant and landlord cases. No six months is free.

It is just that our legal system is bad. Because most tenants abscond from properties during court cases and cant be found due to our poor system.
Many lawyers are after their appearance fees. Them no go tell you the truth.

ihedioramma:
Hello, if you are paying for one year befor the six months quit notice is free you dont need to pay . If you are paying for six months befor you have three months free because is quit notice you have to use the six months and look for another hause . If you like the hause call the landlord and his lawyer talk face to face, if they don't want you to pack out any more ask the lawyer to give you letter for that .

Oga, the six months notice is not free. No free rent anywhere. If he takes him to court and judgement is given in the landlord's favour, the tenant will pay mesne profit from day one till the day possession is taken.

my man igwe olaiya. the man sabi give me cold gulder and chicken shaa. very true to the core.

you can do that only through the court. past a notice to quit on the property and take evidence of service. get a lawyer to file for property recovery from the tenant in court. if the lawyer is good and magistrate is nice and fast, the matter will be fast. the court will come and remove his property with bailiffs.
