diordaves: Stamp duty is required on (new) tenancy agreements in Nigeria. Again, for the purpose of clarity, the 6 per cent stamp duty rate is not chargeable across the board. It is only chargeable on rent or lease agreement of above 21 years. If your rent or lease is between 7 and 21 years, the stamp duty rate is 3percent. And if you pay your rent monthly or yearly, that is less than 7 years, your stamp duty rate is 0.78 per cent. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/405368-tenants-not-to-pay-stamp-duty-charges-to-landlords-or-in-arrears-firs.html It is a legal requirement. The fact many don't pay it means they are breaking the law. It's probably common to break the law in Nigeria. The folly of not stamping documents (breaking the law) is only exposed when these documents are tendered in court and a judge can also take this view they are inadmissible if an opposition lawyer so argues. That is the risk you take. Not sure where all the US reference was for in that other guy's response but it is not worth going on a long argument thing with this. Good day. 2 Likes |

jabolo: Did you read the article you attached? Stamp Duty is paid by the tenant as a form of tax. In the UK we call it Council Tax in this respect. Stamp Duty is NOT paid by the landlord to perfect a rent agreement for the agreement to be admissible in court. The tenant pays HIS/HER Stamp Duty with the agreement as issued by the landlord. Stamp Duty is NOT a requirement in Nigeria for a tenancy agreement to be admissible in court. It is important we understand these things. |

barakah: Sorry about that the image u published does not give in depth of what could be wrong or what kind of collapse.. During this down pour do you notice wind in action? Do you have cracks on this wall before they collapse? Whenever the collapse occur does it get to the foundation part ? Do you usually repair the collapse and rebuild from there or from scratch? Where's your compound water channel to or do we have it pond at the back? Is there adjoining properties behind the 120 fence ? Describe the soil in a clearer terms? The collapse occur at a specific segment all the time or any stretch of the 120ft Show a clearer picture of the fence standing with the collapse part.. My consign is not identifying this only but your build wall also should be observe careful with this with the kind of pillar and casting on the fence.. 3 Likes |

diordaves: Thanks for that clarification.. I was taken aback when he said a tenancy agreement need stamp Duty before it could be an admissible evidence. (Not that I will be shocked if a magistrate say that to be honest). Na 9ja we dey  But I was more interested in the specific text of the Law that requires that so I can read up and learn.. that's one of the reasons why we are all here, to learn and grow. In as much as from a layman perspective, I don't think that sounded right, but I understand the text of the Law supercedes our subjective minds,. @jabolo, my U.S reference came in the picture when you said in one of your posts that stamp Duty in tenancy agreement, is not only required in Nigeria. My response to that was scratching my head to find anywhere else that requires that, not in SA or Kenya, not in any western country that I know of and "specifically " U.S. |

Badgers14: You are kind of confusing issues here. My Post relates to Nigeria ONLY, not US, not UK. Stamp Duty needs to be Paid on Rent or Lease Agreement, it is a requirement of the Govt of Nigeria. Again, NOT ALL 'signed agreements' are legally binding and enforceable, despite being signed by the two parties involved, as you claim/ I wont go into any legalese but let me just give you an example we use in teaching: Imagine two people "signed an agreement" between them, for one party to kill somebody, on behalf of a second party and that second party will paid the first party #200K. (All the elements of a Contract are fulfilled: Offer, Acceptance and Consideration) Ordinarily, both parties have agreed, signed and executed the agreement but in Law, that agreement is INVALID, NULL and VOID and UNENFORCEABLE because the agreement is illegal from the onset (Killing is unlawful and an agreement to kill becomes unlawful, by extension). The second party cannot sue the first party or seek redress, that the first party took his money and refused "performance", despite their "Signed Agreement".  diordaves: Calm down, you dont understand anything here. I never mentioned the UK or US, my reference was to Nigerian Tax Laws. Laws can be 'local to an environment', just because something is not done in the US, does not mean it cant or wont be done in Nigeria. And you are wrong in that your last statement, completely wrong. I have taken cases to Court on it and l know what obtains inside the Court. Who draws up an Agreement? The Landlord. For who is it drawn? The Tenant. Who goes to Court to take Possession? The Landlord/Owner Who does the Govt "know", when it comes to a Property or whose name is on the Property or the Land Use Tax? The Landlord/Owner. So, you can see that the onus or duty rests on the Landlord, to ensure that the 'Agreement" he draws up with a Tenant, signed by both Parties, is Stamp Dutied.. A Landlord may neglect to do this but there are two jeopardy, he may face: 1) If he seeks to use the Court (which is the only legal means), to take Possession of his Property from his Tenant, relying on the agreement between them (that is, asking the Court to enforce such Signed Agreement), the Court will refuse to Enforce such Agreement because it is not a Legally enforeceable Document ,recognised at Law. following the dictum that "you cant build something on nothing". By not paying stamp duty on the Rent/lease Agreement, (as required by the 'Stamp Duty Act 2019' (Amended)), it becomes illegal document, from the position of the Law, ab initio. You therefore cant rely on it in court, it wont be admitted into evidence by any Judge This means the Court will not oblige you to remove the the tenant, and you cant remove the Tenant by your "own force" and Tenant can and will, then continue to live in your House perpetually, under the protection of the Law.  2) Stamp Duty is a Govt Tax. If not remitted to the Govt, by the Landlord, the Govt may wake up one day and decide it wants its TAX, accrued interest and also issue a Big Fine for "Default". It can even be considered a Criminal Act of Fraud! The Tenant may have moved out a Week earlier before the Govt came calling and if the Landlord does not pay-up, his House could be confiscated, for Tax fraud/Debt. It is the Duty of the Landlord to either Collect and Pay Stamp Duty on behalf of the tenant or to ask the tenant to Pay it to the bank and give him Proof that it has been Paid to Govt. Most landlord, myself inclusive, to ensure that they are not "setup for jeopardy" by their Tenants, will collect the Money from the tenant and pay the Duty to the Govt, on behalf of the Tenant. That way, there wont be any 'had l known'. To the issue of whether Stamp Duty MUST be paid on Rent/Lease Agreements, l dont think that should be a subject of Debate for anyone who has a House in Nigeria, they should know. Both of you can read all about it here and please dont just be arguing for the sake of argument. Ad Velorem is a fact. https://thenationonlineng.net/tenants-now-to-pay-six-per-cent-stamp-duty-says-firs/
Also, below is the Federal Inland Revenue (FIRS) Website where you can pay your Stamp Duty, for any Agreement you draw Out. https://stampduty.gov.ng/ Please, dont be caught unawares, a 'Smart Nigerian Tenant' (or with his lawyer) will take you to the Cleaners, if you dont do the needful. I wont say more than that, for the sake of our long suffering House Owners. Lastpage! NB: Lease/Rent Agreement Stamp Duty payment is "graduated" based on the number of years of the Lease or Rent (1-7yrs, 8-21yrs, over 21years), maximum is 6% of Value, for over 21yrs. 4 Likes |

lastpage: Sir/Madam, I am afraid that you have compared apples to oranges here. We are talking about landlords and tenants.. recall, tenancy agreement - legal business. Not any illegal activities, cum contract killings.. maybe you brought up wrong example... I think that was a wrong example if I am honest. But to your credit tho, ex Turpi causa non oritur actio is a valid legal defense based on your example.. but we are talking about legal business of a landlord renting a property to a tenant. When you go back to my posting, I was responding to @ jabolo when he/she said ... stamp Duty is required not only in Nigeria... I was asking myself where else is this required? And as luck will have it, I happen to have had first and second hand experiences in real estate in other countries and this stamp Duty of a thing never came up in those instances. Speaking of Nigeria I have first hand experience in landlord tenants issues and have been to court in almost all the states in Eastern Nigeria, count Delta state in too but no magistrate/judge even asked that, not even when the tenants themselves were lawyers or hired a decent counsel for the court room brawl was this ever mentioned.. ( but it's been a while now, maybe things have changed). If you don't mind me asking, which state did did you experience this in court ? The stamp Duty stuff.. If you don't mind, I am still interested on how the court arrived at this requirement, any actual legal references .. is appreciated Thanks again. 2 Likes |

And may l add, Landlords should Stamp Duty their Tenancy Agreements, for it to be legally binding and Evidencial in court. It is just 0.78 % of Value. Not doing so can make a Judge refuse to accept your signed agreement as 'evidence' in Court, during an ejection hearing. Lastpage! [/quote] Well done Sir.... I just found out that it's not entirely applicable in all the States of the federation because some States' National Assembly have not amended their stamp duty laws to effect such changes. 2 Likes |

money121:If you are renovating or building a two-bedroom flat apartment, there may be a need to calculate the total cost of painting. We have noticed that most house owners do not really have an idea of the estimated cost of painting a two-bedroom flat. When you hire a professional painter, it is expected of the painter to provide you the actual estimation and overall cost of painting your two bedrooms flat Even as a painter who is new into the business, you will need to have an idea about the current cost of painting a house in Nigeria so that you don’t end up stranded in the middle of a project or offer an outrageous price. In this post today, we are going to analyze the cost of painting two bedrooms flat by hiring a painter or carrying out a DIY option. In addition, we will also look into the recommended colors for painting two bedrooms flat that will suit your taste and type of person. There are a few factors that determine the cost of painting two bedrooms flat which we shall also look into in this article. So without beating around the bush, let’s go straight to answer the question of the day before discussing other related factors The actual cost of painting two bedrooms flat While the cost of painting two-bedroom flats is determined by the quality of the paint, the total square foot of the rooms as well as the painter’s labor cost, we can use our level of experience and professionalism to accurately pinpoint how much you should budget for painting a two-bedroom flat. To paint the interior of a two-bedroom flat, the walls and the ceiling are two major focuses. For the ceiling, you need 20liters of emulsion paint, preferably white The walls of the entire interior of the two bedrooms flat will require 80 liters of paints, this includes the bathroom and toilet. The cost of 20 liters of paint in Nigeria varies depending on the quality and name of the brand. But if you are on a low budget, you can get quality paint for as low as NGN7,500 for 20 liters. To crown, it all is the cost of the painter’s labour. This is determined by the type of painter, area, and location of the house and other labour costing factors. Painters usually charge from NGN20,000 to NGN25,000 on average for labour cost. Putting all these together, you should be spending about NGN65,000 to get your two-bedroom flat painted successfully. cost of painting two bedroom flat in Nigeria For more information CALL/WhatsApp 08163862804 https://nigerianprice.com/value-paints-prices-in-nigeria/ 1 Like 2 Shares

Badgers14: When you find out, please let us know. And, thanks, We are all here to learn. My own position is based on the abstract from the following study: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338958481_Understanding_the_essential_principles_of_landlord_and_tenant_laws_in_Nigeria_through_judicial_decisions Tenancy relationships in Nigeria are largely regulated by statutes. Most of the provisions of these statutes to lawyers and other stakeholders are susceptible to inconsistent interpretations. In recent times, the courts in Nigeria have taken steps to look beyond the law books and give flesh to areas in tenancy matters where there seem to be inadequacies in the provisions of the laws. I will not take the risk of inconsistent interpretations by choosing not to stamp any legal document that requires such stamping. Good day. |

Good afternoon everyone I have a question for electrical engineers in the house though not everyone would have experienced this. So I wired my house power circuits both 110 volts and 220 volts. The 110 volt cables were 2.5mm where 220 volts were 1.5mm and 4mm where 220 volts were 2.5mm and so on. Conceptually, I have 2 distribution boards per floor (6 in total), one each for 110 and 220 volts. For brevity, let’s just say the inputs into both distribution board will already be at the desired voltage I.e. 110 volts for the 110volts DB and 220 volts for the 220volts DB. My question is this: can I use the same type of circuit breakers for both? I already bought the Schneider easy9 circuits breakers for all of the DBs and they are rated at 230 volts. I had wanted to buy 110 volts circuit breakers off Amazon US but they are rated 110/220 volts. I am confused whether the breakers have to be different or can be the same. N.B. I asked the seller who contacted Schneider in Nigeria but they were talking about having transformer after the DBs which obviously does not fit with my design so I just shut it down. The question was straightforward but they were not addressing it. 1 Like |
