Sometimes, it's cheaper to remodel an old house that's in a good location especially if the rent is relatively small. Also, old houses have bigger rooms.

Why will you owe rent ? And what will make the landlord or landlady to verbally abuse u ?

It's only a terrible case of schizophrenia that can make me do such. That same bastard will still throw me out of the house or verbally abuse me because of one month overdue rent. Tufia.

Why rent a place that is not to your taste in the first place?

I can do this if I feel the house is not good enough for my taste, after all, na I go dey stay there, and if I'm okay with the location of the house why not?

Most of you saying she should have used the money to buy land are build her own house are just being funny and preposterous, una thing says to build a house na joke...

And if you can not take care of somebody's else house, you can't even take care of your own as well

I would do the same if it were mine as well.

I love comfort and beautiful aesthetics. It's not bad, as long as I have the money. Well, it's mostly why I prefer new houses. Just pay and pack in.

That is total nonsense. Why will the landlady increase the rent without proper notice?Don't you have contract to the house?
Not really except the old receipt when I initially moved to the house

My brother no worry
When I de move I move everything which is enough for me to build my own house

For her mind she feel say the house go remain the same when I move

Very far... I'll remodel it to my state as far as it is allowed. This is where I live,its my home and its mine. I sleep here and wake up here.

If snake come inside na me e go see no be the landlord
If lion enter the house na me go dey there no be the landlord

This is the reason why we neglect government projects sited in our towns and communities because we always say it belongs to the government when it is we that benefit from it.

Older houses have landlords with small fear of God so the rooms are much bigger and house spacious.

could be so many reasons, you know how Lagos is na imagine paying for one small rabbit room with an exorbitant rent, no matter how good the room is, you wouldn't want to pay, cos you won't even breathe well in that kind of room, but if you can find a house with big rooms and perhaps the location is not far from your place of work then why not?

It's why I used "if" because I can't rent a sub-par apartment. New house or nothing.

There are a lot of reasons for this. The place may be close to your work place, could have security, constant light, and then the only issue is the quality of the apartment which in this case you can modify to your taste whereas you can do little or nothing about the aforementioned oddities

I can never put tiles or renovate another person's house.

My parents didn't put tiles where they rented but they have tiles and all other fittings in their own house.

These lagos landlord can be heartless at times

OK ma, this is my main account, I've been a member for sometimes now..

I made some mistakes (financial mistakes) and it affected me in some ways...

Things are very rough with me and the moment, I had to collect advance payment from my place of work to settle someone that gave me loan for business that didn't go well..

The story is actually long, but all I'm asking for at the moment is food items ma, haven't eaten anything for the past 2 days...

Sorry about the situation of things. Sadly, I am not in a good position to help now. I hope you find the help you need.

I’ve seen people do it, but honestly, it feels like pouring your money into someone else’s property. Sure, if you’re planning to stay there for years and the landlord’s cool with it, it might make sense. But most of the time, you’re just upgrading their house, not yours.
I know a landlord who had a tenant redo the kitchen and bathroom—it looked great at first, but when they moved out, it turned into a mess. The landlord had to fix things back to normal, and it ended up costing more. That’s why a lot of landlords play it safe and work with a property management company Kingston to avoid this kind of drama.
