Hello everyone,

If a tenant is owing and refuses to move out, must the landlord file a case in court to remove the tenant?

The landlord needs to give the tenant some time (min. 3month) to vacate.

After the 3 months and he still does not pay, or leave, is going to court the only way?

It depends on the location.
If after 3 months and he refused to pack, in Lagos, you can pay some touts to forcefully remove him.
Or get a Carpenter to remove the roof/windows/doors (Renovation things).
