How Do I Eject This Tenant? by Ohyinyeah(op): 9:15am On Jul 17, 2021
Please, can anyone highlight the procedure for ejecting a tenant from one's building in lagos?

The said tenant was owing over 1 years rent, not paying and not leaving.

Tenant was charged to court. The case has been ongoing for more than a year. Tenant and her lawyer do not show up in court on hearing date and have been adjourned for this reason each time...

Now running to almost 3 years in the flat without paying rent and without leaving....

Terrible advise.

Our judicial system is messed up big time. You for no rush go court.

You should have just given him quit notice of 6 months, and eject him forcefully using mopos or soldiers, after the 6 months.

Now that the case is in court, you have to be patient, else, you would be shooting yourself in the leg!

Na this kind tin dey make some landlord involve jazz

You should have just given him 6 months notice as stated by law, after which you have the right to eject him anyhow yagayaga. Now you're in court and you can't do anything to him until the case has been ruled on.

After six months you should have tossed him out like a stubborn goat with the help of the Nigerian Police instead of taking him to court

Re: How Do I Eject This Tenant? by BarrSly: 4:22pm On Jul 17, 2021
Which kind of lawyer do you have sefhuh

It’s simple. As long as he owes you rent you don’t have to give him the 6 months notice rather 7 days notice of owners intention to recover premises thereafter you charge him to court.

Now this is the trick. In a Tenancy Recovery matter where the defendant tries to play smart and not come to court, all your lawyer has to do is apply for default/summary judgement as from all indications the tenants are not ready to appear for the matter. (25 days tops the tenant is out).

Where are you situated?

Ok sorry not within that jurisdiction neither would i want to refer you to a colleague since you have a lawyer already but just be wise and suggest my point to him... another way is to meet the court officials telling them you don’t really trust your lawyer so how can you speed things up as you need your house...

Feel free to inbox me should you encounter any isshh..
