Woman says her landlord refuses to respond to her greetings after sending him a letter to justify her rent increase.
Your tone, in your Post, shows how disrespectful a Tenant you are.
Looking at your Name, you give a bad impression and reinforce the widely held belief, that Lagos Landlords should avoid renting to people from a certain part of Southern Nigeria.

I think Your Landlord has summarized you and decided you are not the type he wants to engage with, that is why he chose to end all communications with you.
Some Landlord cant stand disrespectful Tenants, infact, l will offer you to leave immediately and refund your rent to you, on the spot.

Judging from what the comment of the landlord is, I can categorically state for a fact that YORUBAS are the biggest tribalistic people.
So, from what 1 person said, you are saying an entire tribe is tribalistic.

You are Igbo and not tribalistic. Can an Ebonyi or Enugu man be Governor of Anambra?

And BTW, when Government increases Prices of everything, from forced House Insurance, to Land Use Charge, you think it has no bearing on House Prices or Rent?
When Cement goes from N3000, to N11,000 within a few months, when Iron Rod goes from N133,000 to over N500,000 per Tone, check out astronomical increases in price of Wire Cables, electrical fittings, Plumbing materials, Sand and Granite, not to mention Bricklayer Labor going from N3000 to between N8,000 - N10,000 per day, depending on location?
Shey it is your Landlord alone that should bear all those Cost

Even your Employer has increased your Salary, just like the Government has increased minimum wage (still very low, though), the only thing you think should not increase, in your House Rent, right? grin

I'm not talking about face me I face you house. I'm talking about standard house. Years ago i wanted to rent a self contain and the useless landlord has strict rules

You must be home by 7:30pm (no African time) else the gate will be locked 🔒.

He must know all your friends

More than one female friend isn't allowed (meaning no female friends except just one)

What's more? He is the only one excepted to have the keys to the gate

I didn't know when I bursted out laughing so hard and almost called him a madman. Dude, I heard the man is even a pastor!
lol every landlord have this rules too they are in terms of agreement booklet given to me, at some point they relax them, as a bachelor then he hated me banging his gate if i exceed the 10pm time and he told me this why i dont like bachelor that someone from within either a tenant should assist or i get married lol

If na greeting be my own u for nor Dey shout, my landlady lives abroad she recently served us a letter through her lawyer for rent increase, after which our borehole got spoiled I am writing her on how to fix it she read my WhatsApp messages and neglected them you see how some people behave!
Eeyah, sorry about your predicament. That is what happens, when some of you start shouting l cant live in a House where the landlord lives! grin grin
If your Landlord lives in that House, he will have no choice than to quickly fix that Borehole Pump because he needs Water as well.
But since it is a 'Tenant's Community', if you people like, leave it like that for One Year, na una problem. angry grin grin

How much does it cost to buy a New Borehole Pump, that all of you cant contribute and replace it immediately, instead of disturbing somebody abroad? grin
You think someone who lives Abroad, has time for the chicken-change you guys pay her as Rent?
All your Rent combined for three years, may not be more than Cost of living for One Month, where she lives.
Maybe she just have you guys in the House, so that it is not completely Empty but still collecting some change to cover the Cost of running the place and pay her Lawyer out of it.

you lied here. Ibo pple are the biggest tribalistic magot we have in Nigeria, disturbing everyone with their wahala. Live with them in same compound, you will understand beta. They don't even like theirselves.
Bros there is no argument on this,its obvious to the entire country which tribe is the father of tribalism in Nigeria.Yorubas are so tribal to the point that they can no longer hide their tribal instincts. Imagine how shamefully they have cleared all doubts. Tinibu even as president of a multi ethnic nation,has shown the worst forms of tribalism and nepotism known to mankind.The good thing is that Nigerians of all tribe and colors have confirmed this tribalism firsthand.

I am so glad to read this.
You Igbos thought you have a monopoly of tribalism but Yorubas don give you hot hot, na so so cry una dey cry.

Yorubas are tribalistic but you are abandoning your Igboland and running into Yoruba land every day.

On a serious note there is no justification for increasing house rents in a lot of low income neighborhoods….

Asaba is worse in house rent increment
As in, funny enough neighboring town such as Ugbolu and Awain are following the food steps of Asaba.

So you mean the prices of commodities increase everyday but landlords shouldn't increase their rents to accommodate the economic conditions?
You forgot landlords build those houses to raise income to take care of their families too? I house rent was 200k two years ago when a bag of rice was 34k, it should still remain 200k now that a bag of rice is selling for 70k plus?
It is always easy when nor be you dey wear the shoe. When you become landlord you go understand

Ignore him. Greeting isn't by force. Power they your hands.

When he noticed you no send am, he will look for ways to communicate with you because your silence will scare him.
Una too dey overate unaself for this life. The silence of a young tenant, obviously living in a one room self con will scare a landlord, much older. Typical gen z thoughts.
