I don't think this is true.
The landlord first breached the terms of the contract by refusing to refund her caution fee.
You don’t have to be educated to know that the lady committed a crime yet.

Lucky landlord. Na this kind tenant I dey always find.
Nothing you go fit do because the landlord broke the agreement by trying to steal her money. The landlord is a criminal for trying to steal the caution money. The caution money doesn't belong to the landlord.

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?
You are just listing rubbish as damages. Who will pay for wear and tear. You can only be accountable for the damaged you caused. You rent some houses and the wall get soaked with water, whose fault is that? With your rubbish comment the tanent should be had accountable. Or your roof suddenly start licking. Some houses the fittings and what were used in the house are fake and you won't spend months before things start going bad. They are things that tanent have no business paying for.

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.
To be honest, that apartment looks neat. It's obvious the tenant didn't damage things in the house and she probably spent money in improving the apartment. The landlord should have refunded her.

While I empathize with the woman, I do not support the malicious destruction of the installations.

with my own mentality landlord is always right, why is that
before i pay for a house i will check well and see am satisfied then i will pay, that means i have eradicate all forms of i pay landlord to do net before i pack in, e no do am. why will you pay for something not fully done. can you see people are their own problem

now i have pack in and i dont like one or two things about the house, then i will move out the next year


with my little illustration tell me how a landlord can be wrong

like you said mad people full this life, shes mad

bro u fit build house make someone destroy am

and see mad people up there already saying what the girl did is right

no one is a monopoly of violence, u destroy my house, i go choke you knife
If you're a landlord bound by a contract to refund a caution fee provided there's no damage to the property, it's essential to honor that agreement when the tenant fulfills their obligations.

Cos if you don’t, this one here may be small compared to the loses you will prolly incur.
Re: Lady Damages Her Apartment After Landlord Refused To Refund Her Caution Fee by Bahamas95(m): 4:11pm On Nov 27, 2023
That caution fee is a scam, most landlords don't refund it even if nothing was damaged..... Nigerians are the most wicked people in earth.


Sometime ago some yahoo boys in my street wanted to relocate, they asked the landlady to refund their caution fee because they didn't damage anything in the apartment. They even used their money to renovate it to their taste. The woman was giving them all form of excuses.

They got angry, poured palm oil all over the walls before they moved out.....She started ranting and making all sort of noise but the boys were fully prepared for her. Last last she used her money to repaint the whole apartment.

Caution fee is not for wear and tear but for actual damages to the property. Do the landlord expect the building to last forever?
In as mush as the lady is wrong, the landlord is also wrong

Caution money belongs to the tenant and that landlord is a thief. But if them born you or any tenant well, vandalize my property.

Many landlords can be overly greedy, as I've personally experienced this.

Even as a landlord myself, I've faced unfair treatment from others.

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.
Well said!

Whoever she is... She's such an idiot for deliberately damaging a residential property and then going ahead to video it which is a criminal offence. Some people deserve to get charged to court to get their brains reset.

You are a very ignorant fellow. That fool was making mouth just like you are making noise here. By the time I dealt with him, he was crying like a baby.
He was picked for malicious damage. He got a lawyer and when that one saw the facts on ground, he opted for amicable settlement with plenty abeg.
Try rubbish and you will see that we are still using 1914 law in Nigeria. I will send you to jail directly with your leg not touching Police station.

Lady Damages Her Apartment Before Packing Out After Landlord Refused To Refund Her Caution Fee (Video)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye2Ko21N87I
The landlord should have return the caution fee if there is no damages and if he has no koney with him he should have giving her some dates to recieve it

At the other hand the lady shouldn't have destroyed someone properties up to this level no matter how wicked the person is ... we shouldn't pay evil for evil

Lesson learnt by all members reading this

Dont be too wicked to your fellow human it doesnt yield anything good
Re: Lady Damages Her Apartment After Landlord Refused To Refund Her Caution Fee by kaludestiny10(m): 4:32pm On Nov 27, 2023
Was she owing the owner of the house before packing out. If no, why would the house owner not respect the agreed terms of refunding her the caution fee?

Pearlqueen:
This is a mistake some of us make. If you say the landlord breached the agreement, how did he? Was it an oral rejection made by the Landlord not to refund the caution fee, was their conversation recorded or documented which can be used as an evidence?

If it was oral, without any evidence, this tenant could pay for all damages done if the landlord wishes to push the case further.

She would have simply contacted the lawyer in charge of the building or reported the matter where it can be legally addressed.
One thing you forget is that, damages/caution fees are charges that are conventional i.e formalistic charges

Judges/Lawyers and even law enforce agents are aware of these charge.

In cases if litigation, most transaction are via bank transfer thats evidence and
co-tenants or Agent can serve as prime witnesses.

The Landlord has no legal grounds to demand or push for an increase in caution fee, post-agreement. if my caution fee move in is 50k, if damages leaving, is worth 100k the landlord can't do nada under the law, naa him loss

And how are you sure that she stayed for extra months? The landlord can't give her any caution fee anymore. He has already goofed in that regard.
Re: Lady Damages Her Apartment After Landlord Refused To Refund Her Caution Fee by calabaman(m): 4:48pm On Nov 27, 2023
In my opinion, she's wrong.

Some of us still pay caution fee and end up leaving the house better than it was.

Two wrongs never makes a right.

Case in point my broken down apartment in Calabar.

God help all this senseless landlords.

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.

In her small mind, relocation has exonerated her from the consequences of her stupidity.
When she starts reaping what she sowed, I hope she won't start lamenting how wicked the world is? In fact, she will reap more than a double portion of her thoughtless act. And unfortunately, she will NEVER get to relate it.

All these women who think they are brazen are just shortsighted and stupid.
Not exonerating the lady but, probably the man was reaping his?
