well landlord would still collect it

Anything to extort money from others is always accepted by Nigerians. Agency fee is paid when there is an agent involved in the course of finding an apartment for yourself, which one is paying agency fee to the landlord again

Landlord has no business with the agency fee or is landlord the agent of his own house? Nigerians sha

CotenantNIG:
most properties are handled by agents, so you cant escape it

What of if I found the apartment by myself?

larry90500:
Very possible, as long as the tenant isn't the cause of the wear and tear. The landlord takes care of other repairs

That is where the dispute will arise whether the tenants are the cause of the wear and tear or not. That caution deposit does not make sense to me at all, you lease out your apartment and still asking for caution deposit, why don't you know that there is a risk attached to any business you do. Consider the damage that might be done to your property as part of the risks you bear for leasing out your apartment. That caution deposit is like taking the risks off of the landlord completely and placing them upon the tenants. Because the landlord too can default on the caution deposit, using a flimsy excuse to deny a tenant a refund. That is why you have a legal agreement with your tenants in the first place, if there is any damage that is carelessly done to your property by a tenant, then you can file a suit against that particular tenant based on the dictate of your agreement.

DameB:
This instance you described is good.
Some get home 12. Some leave home 4 and get to work 9am

Haha, Nigerians really know how to adjust to suffering, they will call hustling or survival of the fittest.

Hello

Lets look at fees you would be paying when renting an apartment in Lagos.

Renting an apartment in Lagos is a task.

So with this you can get prepared.

FEES TO TAKE NOTE OFF

Registration Form: This is the first money you would always pay before you see a property, this form is always ₦1,000 or higher some times

https://cotenant.ng/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/FEES-TO-TAKE-NOTE-OFF-WHEN-RENTING-AN-APARTMENT-IN-LAGOS-900x500.png

Rent:  Renting an apartment means entering into a legal arrangement with a landlord (the owner of the property) to live in the space for an agreed-upon fee. This fee, which is usually paid on a monthly basis or yearly, is called rent. The renter who occupies the apartment is also known as the tenant.

Agreement: This fee is usually collected by agents, but of recent Landlords are now collecting agreement money. The agreement is usually 5% of the cost of property you are renting, if you don't pay this fee you are not entering into your apartment.

Commission: This is the agent fee when you are renting an apartment, its usually the other 5% percent of the agreement from renting an apartment. The painful thing about commissions is if 10 agents are connected to a property they would share lets say ₦15,000 equally after a client have rented a property.

Legal Fees: If a property is being handled by a lawyer, you must pay legal fees to the lawyer. This fees are mostly for documentations etc

Service Charge: Most property on the island collect service charge, a charge made for maintenance on a property which has been leased. For example the space owners are the one that pay for your electricity, most shared apartments and short lets have serviced charged attached to their fees

Damages: Source

Thank you
add yours too

What of if you are using online apps or website to get your apartment without the need for agents, would these fees still be necessary? Some of these online mediums promise zero agency fee

This idea of police brutality against the youth is grounded in age-old African mentality that society is governed and ruled by older people. The older one gets the more acceptable he is to the bourgeois class while the youth are seen as the proletariats. Unless you're confident and strong as a youth, you will always face this harassment from police from time to time, it is just the way it was with our forefathers when young people are subjects to the whims and caprices of the elders. Since today's society has become modernized, police are now being used to punish youth for wrongdoings while the elders or so called "senior citizens" are exempted from any checks. But I see this police brutality as something more grounded in cruelty, jealousy and bitterness than a way to seek justice. Worse still, the youth are also complicit of this victimization of their own. Some of them will be quick to call one of their own a scammer or "yahoo", such as the case of hushpuppi, when there are no official allegations against them yet. I'm not in support of fraud in any way, but if those people calling any successful youth a yahoo boy are that respectful of the rule of law, then they should allow the authority conduct their investigations with concrete evidence before jumping into their conclusion, not calling for a random guy to be arrested because he is successful. After all, they should start their fight against corruption with their political leaders who are by far bigger yahoo boiz in this land.

This is a good bill to some extent but I hope they don't use it to silent the voice of descent. Nigeria always has good policies on ground, but the problem is the policy implementers, they tend to use anything to their selfish gain.

Nobody can upend the nature, sex is a natural thing in life, but the urge for it should be controlled.

What of if they give you any reason for the arrest and you think the reason is not tenable, can you still resist the arrest?

What is wrong with my club nowadays, we cannot defeat this unknown club even in the camp nou?

Davido knows how to browbeat people into submission as a big boss. Obviously, Davido's inherent 'Big Boss mentality' is down to some factors such as:
1. Background: Davido is a son of a billionaire businessman, which means he grew up having things at his beck and call including retinue of servants waiting on him. Naturally he acquired superiority complex. It is obvious that he also experienced from childhood the influence money exerts over others. So again, naturally, he also acquired the mentality that money answereth all things, which might be the reason why he makes very light of things others would consider serious because he knows there are few things that money won't sort out. Little wonder that he announced his entry into Nigerian music sreaming authoritatively that he was Omo Baba Olowo.
2. Success: Davido is also a successful musician with flourishing music label who made it big in his twenties. This means he is young and super-rich with personal assistants, artistes, staff and hangers-on taking instructions and directives from him as the ultimate boss. This confers sense of power on him. Obviously, this situation reflects the one he grew to meet in his father's house. The implications is that a sense of 'boss power' got added to the financial superiority complex that he had acquired earlier, which manifests in his characteristic intimidating self-confident mien.
3. Personality: Davido is an alpha male who is brash, super-confident and assertive. This alpha male mould is not helped by his silver-spoon background, acquired financial superiority complex, acquired sense of power, his youthful age, personal wealth, massive career success, worldwide fame and strong moral support from his father, his godfathers and friends. Davido's alpha male characteristic drives him into "gangster panic mood' when his influence, image or talent is questioned. He is usually like, "Who the hell is this one. How much is he worth in gold coins?".

Illustratively, seeing the hitherto sad-looking, handcuffed and humiliated 'audio pregnancy' sisters swimming happily in a pool "la vida loca" says a lot about the power of money, which Davido knows how use. Moreover, his rude reference to his wealth status in his reply to Kayode Ogundamisi critical tweet said it all.

The bottomline is that Davido's wealth-conscious attitude and Big Boss mentality is a 'heavy burden' put on him by his privileged background, strengthened by early success and coloured by his alpha male personality. Interestingly, it is a burden which many people today would be very willing and more than happy to carry.

You forget to mention his alpha male is limited to Nigeria and aided by people worshipping people like him in this country. Have you ever seen davido pick up fight against someone outside Nigeria? No. He knows his territory. Even the united states where he was born, davido visits there with astute gentlemanliness. I listened to him having small misunderstanding with a USA based guy recently, asking the guy to come over to Nigeria so that he can show him pepper. So why didn't he go to the united states to show the guy pepper there?

That should tell you something about the state of this country.

It isn't too surprising that lion heart was disqualified

The hype on that movie was too high but the content was way lower than what we expected

I couldn't understand the direction and meaning of the movie till it ended
The likes of Pete edochie, phyno, rudeboy and others was just what attracted me to the film

But I sincerely regretted the 2 hours I wasted watching that trash

Try again Next Genevive

I tell you, l forced myself to watch the movie because of the hype, I couldn't cope or enjoy any part of it, I had to port my TV to other channels. The movie was trying to portray the era of neo-collonial Africa, that is the period post-independence, looking at the background setup and the accent of the actors: how they speak English. The movie that was trying to showcase the cultures and ideal African society like that outght to have deemphasized on foreign language. Even if they were to use English, it would just be for exclamations or to lay emphasis.

This is the kind of injury that will make a grown man to cry like a baby. Get well soon, sorry

Even the governor is afraid of kidnapping , this is seriously serious.

They want to kidnap you the way you have kidnapped the treasury

No. Oil prices have fluctuated since oil became a staple in the 70's. It hasn't affected the long term trajectory of house prices. As a matter of fact house prices is apparently the only investment index that has realistically kept pace with inflation. And this is in an economy that has felt like one in perpetual recession.

That explains why we have massive real estate without buyers. Right?

Empty houses everywhere

What he asked for in return for all the "good" gesture was not granted.

Men always thinking with their third leg, he would never do 1% of those favors to his fellow man.

ornicus:
There is something unattural about real estate prices here. One day the bubble will burst. It happened in the us

We already know when the bubble will burst, just wait for the crude oil prices to crash. Nigeria's real estate properties are overvalued, we have no viable economic policy that will attract foreign investors. The economy that is robust is the one that is entering into the stage of industrialization, but Nigerian is far from that.

Nice info @ op. Everything boils down to perseverance and creativity.

They are even happy with what they did, and people ask davido to forgive these animals.

partnerbizn5:
You know the law? Only if you knew me, you wouldn't have made that statement.

Do you know what constitutes false imprisonment? Right to liberty in s 35 of the constitution?

What does the law say about private citizens on arrest? Section 12 of the CPA.

Even the army refers cases to the police because it's within their competence.

Do you know you cant be a judge in your own case as expressed in Latin maxim : nemo judex in causa sua?

Didn't you see where the police released a statement condemning the act?


Note I am not arguing with you. I am educating you ooo.

Say thanks and move on.


What's wrong is wrong.... simple... Davido wrong, the two girls wrong too.

bye.
..
Have a lovely weekend!

You people talking about the law all the time, if davido had gone ahead to press charges against those little hoes, you lots would have been the ones begging him to forgive them. And I'm quite sure those girls would end up in prison and davido will become the villain. There is this way African cultures tend to come between us and our interpretation of life as law abiding citizens. Let me give you one example to clear your view, a bus driver was caught on the road by road safety officials because he failed to renew his driver's license, now, this was a man that needed to support his family by the returns he made to the bus owner on that day, after serious pleas, he was let lose by the officials for the sake of his family and only parted with N500, ordinarily, this was an offense that could have earned him serious fines and got his vehicle impounded. So did what the road safety officials do right or wrong?

This is African settings we are in where the civilization is not yet on par with our constitution. You need to look at the existing environment to be able to judge situations like this fairly, those girls could have been imprisoned for what they did should davido press charges. If it was the case of innocent girls being oppressed by davido, you could have said the A-list artist should respect the law. But these girls are not innocent, they are the oppressors here, emotional oppressors. There are 3 options left for davido on this issue: 1) charge them to court and send them to prison, 2) deal with them in a little African way as he did, 3) or ignore them totally and let more nuisance on social media go unchecked.

So which of these three options is best for you?

Someone keeping 15 free puzzies under his roof you called a fool, and I believe his concubines are more than that.

Those African leaders are not fools, the youth are

Hope his money is going to the appropriate hands, his family and children, not to some promoters and record labels.

The truth always sounds awkward to the hearing of Nigerians. Have you ever been in the company of a big booty woman and see how many calls she receives per minute from men?

Because all you women care for is money, if someone has money, he can do and undo anything with your lots and you're okay with it. It is same money that made those girls to blackmail davido by saying they are pregnant for him. I think they deserve the punishment metted out to them even if it is not completely legal. Money rules the world of you women, and so is the case of these little hoes and davido.

IMASTEX:
FG to reward party faithfuls & some big politicians who already have countless properties nationwide and have ready cash to buy more houses. If FG were really serious in giving it to those that really need it. It should have been on mortgage to Civil Servants targeting mid level downward. So many of them stay in rented apartments for over 50 years. If those rentage were deduction towards owning the house wouldn't they have finish paying?!

Why must everything in this world be given to the civil servants: civil servants the bank loans, civil servants the minimum wage, civil servants the Christmas bonus and all the egunje in the office, etc. Federal government is not the government of civil servants, it is the government of all the private and public office holders, including the artisans, market women and men, business owners, investors, foreign expatriates and the all. So civil servants should not be the only ones to benefit from government program, they are even the haven of corruption in the country, most of the corrupt practices in Nigeria today come from or are aided by civil servants.

I foresee a future where HIV virus will become a normally treated and curable virus like malaria so that all this stigmatization can stop.

If you are HIV+, you can have your own child totally free of HIV and still copulate with an HIV free husband, I don't know where the stigmatization is coming from, though only exists in the less developed world.

Freemanbobble:
The world is ignorant

Fuckkking the girl doesn't mean you Will get the virus

Hiv is not easily contacted and transmitted through sexual intercourse

If not the world would have been infected already

Your chances of getting hiv can only increase if you have other untreated sexually transmitted infections especially syphillis
Which means you can sleep with some one with hiv and you won't get it
But if you have syphillis don't sleep with someone with hiv

Educate me more on this. Are you saying HIV is not contracted via sexual intercourse again except you have syphillis?

Can't it be the woman donate N500,000 instead of saying her monthly salary.

But seriouly speaking, people are earning big in this country while there are millions of jobless youth graduates.

Anyway, good gesture from the woman

oz4real83:
Capitalism has done too much harm than good to the society. Imagine travelling on a long journey without money for food even though food is sold on board. The poor are always been subjected to inhuman situations where they make wrong and risky decisions like cooking inside a train I even suspect will be over-crowded because of inability to buy food that is sold onboard. May their souls rest in peace.

Capitalism is a system that glorifies poverty in the name of helping the economy to prosper by keeping the wealths in the hands of few crooks who also use their economic power to control the government through the backdoor. It is a win win for the capitalists, they control both the government and the economy leaving the masses to their mercy. Are you telling me someone like dangote or otedola does not have power to influence any government policy?
