If it was me I can forfeit the 80k and pay Soldiers/police upto 200k let them make an example of the agent. It's why people do anyhow in this country because there are no consequences. Somethings na see finish enter matter.

Injustice for Naija, u go explain tire. I've left money uncountable times, not because I am weak, because I know to get any form of Justice in this country is like searching for Diamond in a sewer.
Sorry for this

Lol. Loya billing will be something too. That's why I forgot about mine when they refused to refund it - the cost of pursuing the matter will be more than the money. I'm sure they know this.

Don't involve police oh, what you will spend will be more than the amount you want back.
This alone is enough reason for anyone to try as much as possible to flee Nigeria

A country where the Police is your worst enemy

If you are in a tight corner or have any problem

If you dare go to the police just know your problem has been tripled


Worst part is

People cannot report or take in a dying person
If the person dies in your care

No explanation will save you

Please help me

How do i handle this?

I am in Port Harcourt.
It's more than 2 months now, the agent has refused to refund my caution fee

I didn't spoil anything in the house, in fact, I didn't even stay in the house, because after renting it, my office gave me an apartment

I probably slept there for less than 20 nights in 1 year

Now the agent says the new tenant is painting the house because there were cobwebs in the house

And they are taking the money from my caution fee

I am really offended and angry

Please I need help for this outright scam and injustice

Who can help me? What do I do?
Since you intend collecting your caution fee, when you're moving out is when you should have taken the agent/landlord with you to inspect the apartment for final evaluation.

That's when you two should reach a conclusion. What evidence do you want to base your claim on now, especially now that the place has been repainted?

The agent can't authorize the refund of ur caution fee as it wasn't paid to him rather the landlord/landlady,that's why I advice clients to take pictures or do a detailed video of an apartment before moving in and after moving out as well.

Caution fee is a gone money...
Once you pay caution fee and wants to park out it's gone not minding if the house is in order or not...
Best option park out with something equivalent to the amount you paid as caution fee let them use the fee to get a replacement..
You can auction it at worst half of the amount and you will not lament for losing all your money...
Sense no go kill me..

Except you want to waste money, how do you plan to get money from agent that doesn't own the house, besides I have never gotten back back my security deposit, once it's paid, it's gone.

The police will initially tell you they will help but after paying them for transport, booking and stuff, they advise you to just let it go.

Have you ever arrested someone for stealing and the police calls you to send money for his feeding 😂😂😂

Like, it was my first, he was like, if I don't send money I should come and carry him from their cell, I was still in the process of tracing the stolen goods oh, by the time I was done, I have spent over 300k for goods of 3 million, the seller and buyer could only raise 300k, by the time I factor in time, money I spent that period I was at a loss, they said I either take what they can pay or charge them to court, guess what, I would be the one to pay for COVID TESTING, TRANSPORT TO AND FRO THE COURT FOR BOTH CRIMINAL AND POLICE, It mighty take 6 months for the case to be persecuted, until tell I will pay and once they are pesecuted, they goes to prison and I get Zero refund😂😂😂I dropped the case, took the L and move on.
Re: Agent Refusing To Refund CAUTION FEE by greggng: 7:50pm On Nov 20, 2024
Police will bill you
Lawyer will bill you

In my view forget the caution fee and move on . It doesn't make you a weak man ...majority of those thst claimed to be strong are all dead

Just walk away. I experienced that in Asaba when I was relocating to Lagos. The landlord refuse rorefund my caution fee (#150,000).

I was already in Lagos when I told me staff to move my things, after that I demanded for my refund and the landlord refuse on the ground that the outside wall was stained and there were stain on the pop ceiling due to water leakage which was not my fault.

See the picture of the outside wall, it was a foot print of a stray cat. He said I need to repaint the entire house in and out before he will refund. I just walked away.
any agent just mention that fake fee I will just tell them to not worry. It's a scam. There's no way anyone can live in a house for year without there being changes. The paint can even peel on its own, door handles can stop working if you give anybody that money they'll always be able to come up with excuse
