Talk to a pro bono lawyer since you don't have money. He has no right to remove anything from the house prior to your rent expiry.

In Lagos, the quit notice is enforceable ONLY if it is served exactly 6months or more to the date on your last receipt. Otherwise, you are entitled to pay another year rent.

Lastly, you need to learn to manage your landlord. You cannot be living in another person's house and be fighting the person.

I made a post about a month ago on Nairaland about my landlord. He gave me a quit notice when my rent is yet to due, we have not been in good terms, I was rest assured that I still have three months left so no need to panic.

I got home now and saw carpenters removing the roof of my apartment with two abled young men which I haven't seen their face before, the roof of my apartment has been removed now.

I went to the nearby station to lodge a complain but I was told the man had come earlier, and told the police has giving me quit notice that he wants to renovate his house.

It's really a hard time for me and my siblings, getting a quick accomodation. He never informed us of renovating the apartment, I just lost my job last week and this is happening to me again.

My life is in a mess right now as I don't know where to start from, this is just a challenge for me and I will stay stronger and fight this battle till the end, probably God is preparing me for a better place ahead....

Your opportunity to become a millionaire.
I type as a Lagos Landlord

This is really a difficult period for but be strong
I will suggest you go beg you landlord to forgive you anyway he think you offend him
Maje up with him maybe he will change his mind cause that man prepare with enough strategy come for you

CoolAmbience:



If you aren't a low IQ individual, you would have attempted to ask what my landlord did?

It is unfortunate people like you that think building a house gives you the right to dehumanize others.

Perhaps, countries should start 'seizing' citizens of other countries that owe them.

So, going to take the roof off someone's head, on the strength of a mere quit notice, is justifiable abi?

Landlords can take rent in advance for 12 or 24 months...but can't condone being owed for a single month?

You are not okay at all. What useless law of universe are you talking about?

When court clear the guy say if them analyse him actions, na him suppose pay me compensation....nobody advice am to make U-turn.

You didn't even try to get an idea what the landlord did, and you are talking about the law of universe....your sense of judgement certainly is terrible!

Dem tell you say any judge go just 'pat you for back' for not paying your rent?

I didn’t even read the novel u wrote up there cos someone like u,from ur comments I have read before I know all u will have to say is rubbish, gibberish all the way. Person wey dey happy to open mouth announce to the world how wicked he is and thinks it’s something to be proud of definitely has nothing intelligent to say.

Now enjoy ur karma when it comes to fucccck u in the ass, and trust me it surely will regardless of ur belief.Ffucccck of my mentions

If e hard you, go back your papa house and maintain low-key.

Have you asked of the tenancy agreement??

You guys will be running around with the tenancy law without recourse to the tenancy agreement.

Na where una go waste una money finish still lose case

There is no clause in a tenancy agreement which supersedes the statutory position. It is not even negotiable.

Eya, you badly need the op to patronize your sham of a trade. Lowlife charge and bail failure. Excuse of a human being. Keep wailing you hear?

If wailing can no longer quench that desire inside of you, you can drink sniper. Ewu Gambia

hardbody:

You are reversing what I said.

There is a clause in the tenancy law that makes the tenancy agreement supercede the other duration of either 6 or 3 months eviction notice to be given.

Where no such rule of duration is included in the tenancy agreement, that's where the law on duration comes into play.

Go over the tenancy law again and come back.

No time for pity party.. your rent has expired you need to move on.. no be you build house for your landlord..Always try and plan ahead for your rent and rent place it won’t be hard to renew

Just try arrange another place

E don craze o.

after packing your stuffs out of the apartment, get a carpenter to remove the door and take it along...
and if the landlord complained, tell him you took the door for "refurbishment" and the "repairer" promised to return the door in "3 months time" (when your rent would have expired)...

Nobody should give the Op their hard earned money.We need to verify his claim.No landlord will wake up one fine morning and remove his roof.Those the roof pic he show us on Pg 5 look like room occupied? WIC kind landlord use pen write quit notice? Let him show us the receipt and address

You dey give landlord headache when you know say your rent will soon expire. Three months indeed! You had no plan to quit or renew. Two sides to every story.

The bolded is true only if he is a Yearly paying tenant, and if there's no other clause on the tenancy agreement signed.

if he's a tenant at will he's entitled to only 7 days to vacate, lots of landlords overlook this because of empathy and how the economy is.

How many people even pay their rent as at when due sef.


Most times I don't blame landlords who use the law to their advantage, If every landlord in Lagos uses the court on all tenants whose rent are due and have not paid what do you think will happen.

This is why a written agreement is necessary before renting a property to avoid things like this.

Don't remove any pin from that house apart from documents and sue him. You will use the man to cash out full time. He has no right to do such even if your rent expired.

Nigerians are so gullible! No wonder our politicians are using us to play poker. If it's true that your rent is yet to expire, you can bring that man to his knees and deal with him mercilessly by contacting a lawyer. What he did is a breach of contract and against the law and no court will take it lightly with him

kip wasting Ur time speaking English and law.Let him show u the receipt,,his room and house address..Finish,den u can drag the landlord to court

From the pics this guy posted on page 5, it's obvious the story is false. Seems this is another begging format on nairaland. No landlord will give you a quit notice written with pen and come to remove your roof 3 months to the expiry of your rent. Nigerians sha, dey can be very creative for bad thing!

Make Una stop vibrating like concrete block mixing Machine/sound pau pau like exhaust pipe(no offense ).You guy is only after money here.Go and check page 5 and see the nonsense he post there b4 u talk about lawyer, court.May free things not hook some pipu throat

How did you know his rent is not due?

The poster mentioned that he has some months to go. Even if his rent was due, the landlord has no right to eject him in that cruel manner. The court will normally grant a right to do that after a certain period. The landlord can be in trouble if he did it with those who know their right.

They've been begging him to show receipt so that they can help him better but he is yet to do so.

Ask for account number now, in 2 seconds you'd see him posting it.

The court cannot go against the tenancy agreement both of them signed because it is binding.

We've earlier asked him to provide his last payment receipt and include the tenancy agreement to know if the landlord is at fault or not but he hasn't done that.

See this is a one sided story and if he is able to provide those documents we requested, even everybody against him now will jump to his train.
