She deserves to be arrested, is the caution fee worth the amount of damages she caused? How many months did she live there rent free? Tenants believe if they're given six months quit notice, they're free to live in the apartment rentfree till the duration elapses. How much did she stay without paying rent before finally moving out? The landlord must make sure she pays for every single damage caused, pay for the extra months she stayed then give her the caution fee. Insufferable people like these is why some of us are weary about building apartments for rent.

It is still a win win for the Landlord. The Landlord will simply tell her to fix the apartment the way she met it and collect her caution fees. Na now she buy market that may take her to prison for malicious damage.
There is no way you will park into a house and the house will remain the same when you are parking out. What of the wear and tear on the house fittings like the doors, tiles, wardrobe, wall paints etc
Are they not damages? How do you quantity such damages?

Fear Women....Especially when scorned

Since the day I read about a woman that wanted a new born child TO BE CUT into 2 equal halves because she was contesting for ownership and the other one requested for someone's head on a platter as birthday present.

Since then i've been very careful with my dealings with these daughters of Jezebel.

Ignore my advice at your own peril.

I don't think this is true.
The landlord first breached the terms of the contract by refusing to refund her caution fee.

Wow, so we should fear all women since they are daughters of Jezebel...including your mother, grandmother, sisters, female cousins, aunties, and in future, your daughters

Fear them evil daughters' of Jezebel, like your mother, and sisters, and all your female relatives...let's start from home...

By the way, better not marry a woman, since they are all evil. Marry a good looking man. Men won't betray you. And you can adopt baby boys, and bring them up to avoid them evul women....


Franzese:


Been married for over 10 years. I also have Sisters.

That said.

Fear Women. I will say it 10000000000....

I mean every word I said in my post. đź’Ż




Yes, so that means you married one of them women of Jezebel

Therefore, you are a hypocrite. A real hypocritical person. You won't follow your own advice.

By the way, I suggest you inform your wife that she is a daughter of Jezebel, and therefore evil. She would love to hear that.

My caution fee is over year now.

Still waiting for my house agency to pay me back.
(About 900 Euro )

So hopefully may be at the end of the year, would get my funds back.

Sometimes people need to chill , not everything needs to vawulence.

Live there rent-free? Does the story say that? I think this is about a small-minded person doing damage as "pay back" to a landlord who refused to refund her caution deposit (as Lagos landlords, the greedy lot that many of them are, usually do).

You’re saying nonsense. Caution fee is refundable and the landlord knew this before asking her to pay



Modified

In my previous apartment, I went above and beyond to maintain and even improve its condition. I repainted, repaired minor damages, and upgraded the lighting fixtures to better ones that suited my taste. Despite these efforts and living there for nearly two years, my landlord refused to return my caution payment of 150k when I moved out. This was particularly unjust since I left the apartment in a better state than when I moved in, with high-quality fittings.

I completely empathize with the woman's actions in a similar situation. Although I didn't resort to damaging the property like she did, her actions seem justified given the circumstances.

Also, a side note on landlords' overreach: mine tried to claim my chandelier, which I had brought from my previous residence. Thankfully, I had pictures as proof of ownership.

She has a right to refund, as “security deposit also known as caution Fee” which is to ensure compliance with the duties and obligations under the tenancy agreement are refundable under the law.
But in this case, it’s no more damage, its destruction (vandalism) . She’s in for a lawsuit

In as much as what she did is wrong I can also condem the action of the landlord for not returning her caution fee, let’s be realistic in our thinking the money deposited is for the person to maintain his or her stay in the house without destroying things when the landlord has checked nothing spoil then it’s okay to return such money without being greedy, but in this country? Landlord don’t return caution fee

There is no way you will park into a house and the house will remain the same when you are parking out. What of the wear and tear on the house fittings like the doors, tiles, wardrobe, wall paints etc

Oga landlord, well done. Caution deposit ought to be refunded - if there is no significant structural damage CAUSED BY THE TENANT. Normal wear and tear does not count, as that is expected.
