I don't repair full on before relet as there is usually nothing to repair. Wardrobe are concrete built in, kitchen is concrete countertop, and toilet is toilet. I only carry out safety checks of the electrics, plumbing and flushing mechanism of the toilet. I also clean up.

gabbytabby:
Do most landlords repair an apartment before a relet.


If you do please press a like.


It used to be average about 30k but now 200k for 1 bed and 300k for 2 bed.

gabbytabby:
Wardrobe and cupboards what material are the doors. Some steal sockets and switches and I change half moon. Toilet all taps, shower, flow master and leaks.

Please try to build in good upscale areas cos this level of destruction I don’t know if it’s a background issue. The 2 locations are so different.

diordaves:
This is future proofing a rental building. One has to build to last and robust. The wardrobe doors are made of mahogany wood. No fancy MDF or HDF. These don't go well with rentals. My rental kitchens are made of blocks and concrete with wooden doors. No MDF or HDF. The taps are made of plastic. If you don't like it as a tenant, you may change to chrome at your own cost.

Regarding trashing the property, this is included in the rental agreement. I will prosecute any willful damage and theft.

Pls house, when it's the best time to call welder to do window burglary, before or after plastering?
Someone said whatever measurements they take now might not be correct that I should proceed with plastering first before I ask welder to take the measurements. Abeg I dey confuse.i could not even remember how I did it in my first build.

temi4fash:

Is renting a business or completely waste of resources, with the current attitude of many of those rentals. Some of those rentals will send you to your early grave, when you look at the huge amount of money committed to the building especially in Lagos , Portharcourt and Abuja. its hard not to fix anything, in minimum repainting. Is always government responsibility to provide shelters for its citizens so they can keep distruying them when they want to move out. I beg I come in peace ni ooo, but is to annoying. To be fair there are alot of evil landlords that frustrate talents as well by raising rent 500% for no reason, some of them will let people fix their house especially shops that are trying to build theirs businesses. That when the landlords will remember his wife supposed to be doing the same business, then try to send them packing. We are just to wicked to one another, the government that supposed to do justice between us are even wise.

Rental properties are challenging to be honest. There are rogue landlords and there are nightmare tenants from hell. As a landlord, I don't operate in the luxury market. I rent for the middle class, civil servants, traders and lower end of the market. My experience is positive. By and large, my tenants are reasonable. Fixtures theft by tenants is extreme to say the least.

I do my bit. I don't rent without a rental agreement with all responsibilities spelt out between myself and the tenants. All parties are aware and alive to their responsibilities. As a tenant, you move in with all fixtures working and safe- plumbing, electrics, door locks and windows. When you leave, put back the fixtures to a safe working condition as you met them. If you leave the property damaged more than your deposit, I will seek payment. This is normally in the rent agreement.

I admire your experience on rental issues. Please advise me on this issue:

In 2022, I moved into a 3br with 3 toilets. 2 of the toilets have an Ariston water heater, but one of them has never worked from the onset, so madam just goes to the other toilet with a working heater to get hot water for the kids.

In November last year, the working water heater started leaking profusely and I informed the agent immediately. I also informed the plumber who handles the plumbing works of the house and installed that particular heater, and he told me that the water heater had been there for at least 10 years and can no longer be repaired - whatever that means.

Agent has spoken to landlord and landlord said I either fix or replace it. I am a conscientous person and i have enjoyed my stay at the house (i am leaving the house soon), so I advised the agent that instead of doing a fix that may not work or just work for a while and die off on the next tenant, I am happy to contribute 25k towards buying a new one. But they are having none of it. I dont even know where to fix it and I am even too busy to go through the hassle of getting a plumber to uninstall it, fix and re-install.

I have seen a cheaper heater (Sweet Homes or so) of 62k and I am considering buying it for them just to leave on a good note.

But my question is; is it not out of place for them to even ask me to replace the heater, considering that it has been in use for at least a decade even by tenants before me? So if I had moved in last month and it started leaking, would they still have asked me to replace it? Also note that the heater is never tampered with. Nobody touches it and we use it only on nepa.

Finally, please recommend where and how I can get it fixed. I will make out time to explore that option before considering buying a new one
