If he had comprehensive insurance, it would have been easier on him, but for him to ask about suing his landlord, he probably does not.

Sadly, a huge loss and stress to his pockets!

Insurance will deny him. They'll say he saw the risks/danger yet still parked there

It is a Force Majeure situation , but I leave learned colleague to look at the scenarios and advice you appropriately ...but on the other hand what if the Car was destined to crash but not with you inside ... Cos the tank could have fallen while you are inside, so you're saved from that, we thank God for your life.

Low quality iron

How many years of rent will cover for this damage?

Kai. That beautiful Lexus is gone

who should pay for the damage

1. Landlord
2. Tenant

Na who pay, gbese for tenant head

Comprehensive insurance will handle it.

Insurance where are you?

Third Party Insurance don fail you.

Typical Nigerian.
Buy a vehicle worth millions; find it difficult to insure with a hundred thousand comprehensive insurance.

Kpele is your case.

THE TENANT DEY COOL CAUSE BY NOW HIM SUPPOSED DON INÓ DOWN THE WHOLE HOUSE

Thank God it didn't happen while the car was occupied.

Headless mob will still blame Tinubu for this for sure

Thus tinubu period if you no look for trouble...trouble go use style dey find you may God deliver his own amen

The landlord will pay me for the damages since he used low quality iron to do his overhead tank, I'll drag him till he pays.

That's how he'll still build his house with low quality materials if care isn't taken.

Na to stay free house for the next 7 years

Lawyers wey get sense in the house over to you

Buh these I. Greediness at its highest

Multiple tanks in one scaffold, who does that, and who allows that

😂😂😂😂😂 make landlord sell house but it maybe set up maybe the landlord na bad person

It's a no brainier. Let him sue. Wetyn again Dem dey talk about again. All I see I cash out. Gather mind and sue. Don't do any forgiveness brouhaha. I repeat, leave that forgiveness thing

The landlord is laible. It could have been worse, it could have been a death if the guy was sitting in the car at the time.

Of course the landlord will try to dodge as that car is over 15m today.

Developer and cutting corner is like 5 and 6

Now the 500k you saved on tank stand has become 15m in liability

Those structures holding the water tank are too light for those big jee pee tanks

He should sue the landlord for using substandard tools to jeopardize people's life.

Accident na Accident... make him go do thanksgiving sey him or his family no dey inside wen e collapsed na who dey alive still dey get hope

LoL
Na ignorance dey worry many of una for Naija.
Landlord is not paying shishi....
Ask your lawyer

First thing first … arrest the landlord and make sure he pays for your car before he can be released…. Nor pity am ooh because all these heartless landlord will do you worse if na you Bleep up

That landlord must pay for your car because you don’t live in his house for free

I rest my case

That's Landlord’s liability, not force majure

The tenant should hold the landlord,the landlord should hold the wielders the wielders shout hold the retailer he sourced his material from..the retailer should hold d wholesalers the wholesalers should go to China and hold them responsible for giving him fake materials at a very cheap rate

Who would be held liable in this case
