Kingstel:
Discuss where you ain't comfortable with him

Simple or he should also contract a lawyer to help him out.

It's ok, but let him explain item 4 very well

I have no problem with the agreement. I am just looking for hidden clause that may go against me in future in the agreement.
The landlord has issues with the previous tenants and he has vowed never to accept people of that tribe again. The first question he asked me when I showed interest in the house is my tribe

Most Yoruba landlords hate anything ibo...not because the tribe is bad, but most ibos who live in Lagos have a reckless way of handling other people's property. And the moment such landlord questions their recklessness, they always result in nasty fights...so most Lagos landlords avoid anything ibo.

Fair enough

Just ask him to change the word covenant, which I think is been abused in this case.

He won't japa from under the bridge. He has to start from somewhere.

The only issue I see is where he said if you want to stay the next period, you should pay the rent 3 months before you start the next period. Talk to him, the economy is hard, let him give you a grace of 1 month after your tenancy is up to pay or you agree to pack out if you fail to meet the one month grace period without need for court papers. It should be in writing and both of you sign with witnesses and get it documented in court

Tenament

All these nonsense for your money ?
Must you live there?

I don't see any clause favouring or protecting you, its all in the landlords favour.

Its your call!

Why not contact your lawyer or a renowned legal practitioner that'll lead you through aright.

@SeniorWriter

Please check B1....Is it the duty of tenant to pay tenement rate?This rate is pay to the government yearly..... Review that part very well before signing.

So I decided to rent a better apartment for myself. So my landlord gave me this tenancy agreement to sign. This is my first time of signing such since I have been renting house so I decided to bring it here for the Learned and Legal practitioners to help me go through it before signing.
Thanks

Change covenant to agreement, and diplomatically request removal of tenement rate which is property tax. You are not the owner of the said property.

Nothing is wrong with the tenancy agreement just ensure to be paying your rent at and when due and also keep the premises need then you will never have any issue with the Landlord.

two things don't seem right in this paper... The use of the word "Covenant" and the number 4 agreement...

rottable:
The agreement is okay except for number 4, where it states that the landlord can enter your apartment at any time....... You are about to give away your privacy.

There's no problem with that clause. It's well countered by section C rule 1.

the agreement is fair enough.

B1...Is it the duty of tenant to pay tenement rate.... Tenement rate is pay to the government in respect of property.... Please review that aspect very well before signing....

Try to make use of some instead of most.

Generalisation is not good. Example is saying most Nigerians are potential fraudsters.

Let me reserve my comment cos I didn't read it, any issue with lawyer/landlord is a No for me.

He does not want to return your caution fee and also want you to repair any damage to the building, that's not cool

That one na small case.
Just change the Key drum, Change the key to another one

Synord:
This is poorly drafted and ambiguous agreement .

Grammar.

rottable:

He used the word reasonable time so it now depends on the tenant to let him know when it's reasonable. If na me any day you come will never be reasonable to me.

incogni2o:


tell him to change the word covenant

Why?

Covenant is a more formal way of indicating an agreement.

I totally agree.They have shown us pepper�

raead it again... It says at any Reasonable time. The Landlord does have a right to have access to his property but it must also be with the consent of the tenant
