You sound stupid
Did any one mandate him to put the tiles ? It belongs to him and he has every right to do what ever he wants
Remove the tiles without damaging the floors. The joke is on you.

You may be right but the house was almost not rentable before I came in. The last tenant damaged the house beyond recognition before leaving. I repainted everything, changed tiles in all the bathrooms, installed hot water tanks, redid flooring in the living room, and conducted major upgrades that would allow the landlord to charge a higher rent tomorrow. All I needed was just an acknowledgment and a thank you. It was my fault though.
I have learned my lessons and never spend a dime on what does not belong to me.

Maria, I have taste and If I upgrade your house for you, you will like it. My problem was I had lots of money with me to burn at that time.
You had the option to either look for another apartment (or wait till rehabilitation is done by the landlord).


Not if I didn't ask you to. cheesy
I like my things left the way they are.

I agree and have since learned my lesson. That was about 18 years ago.

Remove the tiles and fix the floor the way he found it when he packed it

That's the point na. The tenant in question didn't do so. He destroyed the floor.

Why not just break the tiles if you wan pepper the landlord instead of removing it

The landlord should arrest him. No one mandated him to put tiles in a rented shop.
he can't just arrest him. You don't know if he's going to plaster the floor and leave it the way he met it. Don't rush to conclusion.
Also it's very likely he paid caution fee too. Though I think the caution fees in Nigeria should be higher than What's being paid today and the money should be returned if the rented space is left in good condition. But but dey inside. I know my people, both landlords and tenants..

The guy must have a serious anger issue - sometimes, you just let go.
As a young bachelor, I got an old apartment in a very fine location, within my staff bus route as I was still a trainee and close to many places I liked. I did serious renovation, including changing the kitchen sink, POP in the living room and changed the toilet seat in the masters bedroom with new wall tiles. I still left the house when I left but I did enjoyed the place, the security it offered and nearness to almost everything I wanted.

Majority of landlords and landladies are hypocrites.

Rather than addressing the ailments they ignore it and talk about the symptoms.

The reason the guy is doing such is because the landlord/lady didn't treat him right or keep to his/her end of agreement.

I support the fellow in this case. Let him remove his tiles.
Will he use the same tiles in his new shop ?
Why you no go support the fellow ? You that don't have dreams of owning a property.

I just came back home this evening and I noticed a tenant in our street is removing the tiles in his store, he's been packing out some of his things from the shop for the past one week.

One thing about removing tiles is that you will end up damaging the floor. So why not leave the tiles and pack out? I doubt if he will plaster the floor cos I know the toxic relationship between him and the landlord.
Most landlords are evil, they always wait for tenants to upgrade their house and give them quit notice so that they can let it out at a higher price. Don't pity the landlord

Some landlords too can be very useless. A long time ago, I once rented a flat and spent over 400k on renovation. The landlord never said any words of appreciation or even acknowledged the work I did. Since then, I stopped spending a dime on properties not belonging to me.
in my family house,once u make noticeable changes in our house,in terms of renovation,we will reduce the house rent for u by amount we feel u spent on the renovation
Re: Tenant Removing Tiles Before Packing Out by femi4: 8:16pm On Aug 12, 2024
MasterJayJay:
You know him to say he will plaster the floor?

He won't plaster it. I think he has stayed up to 4 years in that shop. No tenant should rent a place with the mindset of staying there till death.
What's stopping the landlord in tiling the floor. I m sure he must have discussed a sharing formula with him but he was adamant

Thank you. I made the house very modern and was only expecting an acknowledgment and nothing more. The dude just ignored me. The house was a shit hole before I moved in there, the previous tenant had left over a year ago and no one was willing to rent, I only liked the location reason I proceeded with the renovations. I don't do such anymore and would rather get a new place that meets my taste.

I know an unfortunate landlord will come and use this line.

My parents have enough properties that the last property I want is a house.

once u leave,the idiot will increase the rent according to the level of renovation done on the house by the. Previous tenant.the new tenant won't even know the renovation wasnt done by the landlord


U should have negotiated with the landlord b4 starting the renovations tho.his Kinda response would have determined the level of effort placedon renovation

Stop defending nonsense. Landlord will tell you to go ahead, when it's now time to pay, you will now bear all the burden. The next thing, he will say he's either increasing the rent or giving you a quit notice.

Totally wrong. It will cause an ugly damage to the floor.
Why didn't the tenant demand reimbursement for the installation of the tilling? Did the tenant formally request to fix the tiles? These are pertinent questions.
Are u playing?the landlord will never refund

Please speak to us in clear terms sir, are you saying that using a particular shop for four years is not advisable even when your business is not doing bad? Are you saying that even if one doesn't have money for new house (agents, commission, damages and the stress of house hunting) he should pack out of the house he is staying because he is not supposed to die a tenant? Plus are there people who wished to remain a tenant all through their life? Oro yen ko ye mi ooo[/quote]

sad some TENANTS are DEMONS from the PIT of HELL. Some will frustrate your life.It is NOT BY FORCE to live in somebody house..If u think the landlord/lady doesn't like u,.Leave his property and move elsewhere
LilMissFavvy:
He definitely will plaster the floor. He feels annoyed that after he spent money making the shop better, the landlord doesn't give him peace.
