Lol. Look at this ignoramus. I already live in a saner country. Tenants like the OP would have been evicted a long time ago. The law protects both tenants and landlord. The landlord has a right to legally evict the tenant. The tenant cannot "make trouble" as the courts are quick to rule on such matters. No be by force to be tenant. Also Nigeria is not as lawless as you think. If a Landlord follows due process with a lawyer, that tenant would be out of the place in not time. I'm currently dealing with a tenant like the Op. This man does not pay rent on time. Infact he's still owing last year's rent. I will be serving him a quit notice shortly. Let him go fight with his stupidity.

Your fiancee left her own house and came to yours to have a misunderstanding with your landlady?

Your fiancee should learn tact and conflict resolution first, because I am here wondering wetin bring that kind nonsense. Na my own be that.

Arrahman39:
Sometimes just take your time and read comment it more like nolly wood movies... Thanks to all the commentors, my guy you've exusted your money and additional six months has been granted on freemode pls don't exceeded that freemode... God we provide...

Daroldigits:
Fear not, by law you're entitle to six months without pay in the house...let her know that or send her to court

TCD:


The landlord owns the property and has liberty to withdraw it anytime as long as she gives 6months notice as stipulated by law. His personal issues is really not the business of the landlord. Its his responsibility to sort himself out.

Toks2008:
E be like sey she no Wan collect rent again for the next one year.

Tell her to go court or resolve the matter with you.

At least you have 3 to 6 months grace to look for another apartment without paying any rent to her if she insists you leave.

DanjaNinja:


You can still rent in peace. Get a solid lawyer to draft a good lease. Avoid interacting with the tenants. Let them interact with your Lawyer. That way you have peace of mind.

Over entitlement mentality on someone else property

You have 12 whole month to look for your next year rent and you claim you don't have it as at expiration of your rent you even want a reminder from your caretaker

You felt too busy to attend meetings in the house you reside, meeting regarding welfare of the house which is part of your core responsibility as a tenant

Your fiancee had a quarel with the owner of the property

You cursed the caretaker of the property

You better start looking for a new place because highest you can get is 3 month from the reciept of the first notice

Only in Nigeria will a Fool download Sokoloan App, read terms and conditions, collect loan spend it on frivolity and when the time to pay reaches he starts causing all sort of menace

You got 6 month quite notice but want a year free rent....

PS; on a lighter note... What if Buhari and Osinbajo decided to stay extra 6 month in Aso Rock Vila and Aguda house while they drag Nigerians to court

princewarri1985:
What that notice simply imply is that you are going to stay 6 months free without paying rent! Thats blessing in disguise! You ought to be dancing now. Use that 6 months to save up and get another apartment, all these landlord mumu sha i swear

PROPEACE:

That sokoloan you work for, Dem go lose Las Las. It is only in Nigeria that such a stupíd business model will run.

Yes Mr Perfect any more good advice like
don't be poor, don't allow mosquito to bite you, don't allow rain to beat you, don't be broke, don't let your shit smell?

Problem is not everyone can live a perfect life like you

Some people have no choice but to live in the same place with their landlords
Millions of Nigerians actually have that mistake in their lives

Mozenge1:



E No get who no go build house las las calm down. By then your house to be old model. Omo las las we go die leave everything. Why we no con de show love ?

Thank you I respect your opinion because it’s based on your own knowledge.

I go in there about once a week, use the restroom, fart, belch, etc

You know what I don’t do? I’m not fighting a tenant to collect rent

Lakatabah:
Nairalanders, I need your help.

I just moved into this new apartment and within a month to the expiration of my rent, I got a call from the caretaker to see him and he told me they would be is increasing the rent unless I renew before it expires but I didn't have it at that moment and pleaded but he said that's the decision of the owners of the house.

The landlady leaves in the building as well but the caretaker receives rent payment and all for reasons best known to them.

I went to see the landlady and she stood her ground that if I can't pay I should leave. Well, I could deduce her actions for doing this as she had a quarrel with my fiancee and it has been settled but she still had it in her mind.

I don't why people have dumb mentality. A landlady and a tenant cannot quarrel and settle in peace anymore.

I choose to pay the rent increase last year in order to let peace reign. On a norms, I would never pay for such an increase( I mean from 200k to 250k) Now, I just got a letter delivered to me this morning which is a notice to quit as my rent just expired last month.

Normally, when my rent expires or about to, the caretaker will call me and ask when will I be renewing it but this time I didn't get anyone at all which means they actually planned it before now.

They didn't even call me for a meeting to discuss, who does that?

And on the letter, there was no reason stated on the quit notice and it's a 6 months eviction notice. I spoke to my lawyer and she said that's how they do these days issuing quit notice without prior notification even when you're paying constantly.

When I went to see the caretaker, he told me it was because I was absent in the last meeting that was held in the compound. What trash! I rained curses on him to the extent that he couldn't voice out a word again. Apparently, he was shocked as I'm always very gentle.

Are they sharing money in the meeting or what? Or I would leave my business and be in a meeting on a weekday when I can always get what was discussed in the meeting from people that were there.

The reason didn't even go down well with me as it got me really annoyed. I have decided to park out but I want to make sure they see pepper.

Can I stay up to a year or more before moving out?

Please I need your advice, thoughts, and ideas. Thanks in advance and pardon my typos as I'm typing from my phone.

EgunMogaji2:


I’ll never ever rent a residence to any Nigerian.

I have a 2 bedroom flat just sitting there unused but I’ll never rent it out due to AH like OP.

I don’t call it asslicking, I call it TACT. It is how smart people stay alive while the supposedly brave ones die unnecessarily. Look at how Igbos are turning the SE to a deadzone with misplaced bravado.

I am Igbo and one of our biggest issues is we have no regard for constituted authority. We stayed on our own and invalidated the value of our traditional rulership, because every man is a king in his own house. Especially the one that has money.

I am far from an asslicker. In fact, I am a very rebellious entity. However, I have respect for leadership. There is how you handle a landlord/landlady, they would know underneath you are a mad person, but you are just giving them their respect. Except the owner of the house is plain difficult, then you shouldn’t even be living there. The time you use in fighting them, use it to build your own house or move out. I see no need for some kind shouting Nigerians engage in every other day. Totally pointless.

MemoriesAndMe:

My brother has a lawyer and he kept going back and forth to court with his three tenants that chose to stress him. I won't get his type of stress if I don't get any tenant at all. I'm cool with that because I'm not even relying on the rent money for anything.

Im currently not in Nigeria and don't want the house to be empty, that's the reason I thought renting the flats out to some people might make it occupied, but when I started reading about tenants stressing their landlords, it's scary as hell.

I have a few friends that were landlords in Nigeria and relocated abroad. Suddenly, their tenants stopped paying their rents, saying they're ok, that's why they're abroad - without thinking if these people had other plans for these funds before relocating. Some of them ended up selling their houses cos it wasn't worth it keeping them for non-paying tenants.

Rather than paying their current rents to these landlords, the tenants are buying their lands, building their own and forget to pay their current landlords because they know theye not around and won't have time for prolonged court cases in Nigeria.

I actually think this can be described as being selfish on the parts of the tenants.
