The only way to win is through psychological warfare.

3 black candles
3 red candles
6 members of Celestial church
1 bell.
3 incense

Early morning, light the candles and have the Cele members gyrating to their songs. Dig a hole inside the compound and pretend that you are burying something while the Cele members will be ringing their bell and shouting stroke! Stroke!! Stroke!!!. Make sure you tie red bandana on your head and be murmuring some gibberish.

Light the incense when done and let it burn out.

They will pack out within 1 month. Nigerians are superstitious and scary fvckers.

It's like leasing a hotel room. Your rental tenure is fixed. You move out as soon as your rent is due. You are not entitled to any notice to quit.
not advicable

I av been in almost a similar situation just that mine wasn't upto 3 yrs, My dad was an influencia and lenient person that he never cared how his tenants paid, what the tenants do is to bribe the barrister in charge and make payment when ever and however and as a student I studied how those things were going though never had any power to exercise and the only person that understood me was my mum, at a point she felt my dad was under a spell by his tenants.

So when I decided to take the bull by the horn , I first made my dad relive the old gay barrister of his job which he did, then I went to court and made a very authentic agreement which I knew that once they sign it and defaults they will be hunted till there grave . At first the barrister who helped me acquire the aggrement try convincing me that when a tenant and landlord case is brought to a court by a lawyer that magistrate could be concerned on when a power of attorney was handed to the lawyer that filed a suit which could be a flaw to the landlord in other words he was trying to push me into giving him the power of attorney so he could go ahead and mess things up just like the other.

So what I did was serve them the stated agreement which some failed to sign and thinking it was a business as usual, I then went ahead to involve police since there was no lawyer manageing the building so the plan was to take records of the properties thrown out so they wont say their millions was stolen in the couse of it. it was now that they relaised what was going on, they filed a suit againt me but that was after I made sure they were out of the compound. it was now I paid a lawyer to defend my case which was very fair on my part.
Smart move! I sabi these things .talking from experience. .i wish I could be around to help her out. .

This is going to be on hell of a long post. Please read and bear with me. I'm writing on behalf of someone who happens to be my bestie and her mom is like my mom too.

So bestie's mom is a civil servant that earns on monthly basis, she took loan severally to build herself a house located in ogun state. With plenty of pains, starvation and hunger she finally completed 4 flats of two bedrooms each after like 10 years. Ever since the building has been ready she has never for once enjoyed steady flow of rentals her tenants, it's either they are unable to pay and get kicked out or the new tenant comes up with a story of how his business went bad.

The house has been ready for not less than 6 years now with various categories of tenants. Mom is really sad and decided to hand over to a caretaker, the caretaker suggested that all old tenant be sent out and fresh new people taken in. The debt of some of the old tenants was up to 2 years oo. For one particular guy who happened to be a colleague of my friends' mom , his own debt is up to 3 years without single pay. He keeps coming up with cock and bull stories. The idea of the caretaker was that  mom holds a meeting with the tenants and tells them that she sold the house to someone and that the old tenants should move out as per they don't kuku have rent in advance. The meeting was held a lawyer was called and quit notice was served to those tenants giving them 6 months.


Now the issue is 6 months lapsed with 3 month on top of it. Meaning for going to 3 years for some tenants no pay and she hasn't gotten paid for 3 years by any of the 4 flats. Salary isn't steady again, debt has risen and bills has skyrocketted. My friends' mom seriously and badly needs money. The supposed caretaker and Lawyer isn't handling the issue like they should and our mommy is fed up. The caretaker keeps saying she should still hold on because if the matter is taken to court it might even take much longer than it has already. She keeps thinking about it daily and begin to get worried that it's not worth the stress building a house. These tenants are bunch of frustrating beings.

 Is there a way to send those people out more quickly? Have you ever been in this situation and how did you handle it? What are the consequences of getting a court involved? Is there a better way of sorting this.

I need your opinions please mom dey worry too much. I tire biko
.The house is not a blessing house,bad foundation

Am surprise some people don't like due process. If you follow some of the advice here, the landlady will end up messing up the whole thing. Get a competent lawyer and sue them. Inability to pay rent is a ground. When it expires yur lawyer should. File the necessary legal suit to recover ur property. Some tenant will ask for extension of time but the judge will over rule that on the ground that they ve spent more than a year already. The best they can get is a week. After that week sherif with eviction order will come and throw their stuff outside. Raining season is the best time to do this so that all their properties will be damaged in lure to the rent they owe you. This method worked for me and also my current landlord used same method to evict one of his stubborn tenants. Thank me later. Must stubborn tenants re yorubas talking from experience.
The judge will not over rule anything. undecided Instead, they will ask the tenant how much he can pay in instalments, and when. Then the defence lawyer will keep asking for adjournments. Such cases can drag for another two years or even more sef, and during that time the landlord does not get a kobo. No be dis country? sad

My dear easy with your ''rambo logic''. Court no de understand emotions o!! Na facts de matter.
No de reason with emotions like igbo people de do!!
U really think u wont pay dearly if u go militarily?? U must be joking. U 1st hav to reclaim ur property n then try to reclaim the rental arrears. Or u dontknow the day u take possession of the property through the court they also seize all the tenants properties. These wilk be auctioned off in view of helping u get back ur money.
. Dont take off anyones roof or use force. Dont listen to what some irrational beings post here. This will put u in problems as some tenants might claim
Guy you seem like one of the tenants in that house angry

Talk to me, truss me we would give you extra 6 months grace. Just truss me grin

Oh well after my father died, his tenants who never paid him while he was alive even in death never paid for over 3 years. We tried Coúrt issues eviction notice but the day my elder cousin told them he was coming with boys before he got there they had disappeared.
He threatened with thugs cos he already got Coúrt eviction notice and they stayed beyond the stipulated time.
Option 2 let her close her eyes and take off the roof or pack a full trip of sand in front of their houses.
If there is a gate let her pull it out. My neighbour did this one. The silly guys who refused to pay for over a year getting to two called police men from force headquarters and the table turned against them, they asked them to move out.
They are taking her for granted cos she is female. She needs to go gangster on them. Fight it from all corners the Law, pulling of things that gives them comfort and security, thugs she be the last option on eviction day after Coúrt has granted her request.

My landlord in school doesn't waste time. After third month, he cut off your light, remove prepaid meter and the fuse. If you refuse to pay after fifth month, he calls plumber to block your toilet pipe from outside with sacked bag. By the time you couldn't flush again, you will run to him

Ok go ahead. But be notified that most landlords who throw out tenants properties back up their actions with threat of death 2 wards the tenants if they should take them to court. N they r willing to carry threat of deaths against them. So ve ur assasins ready to deal wiyh any tenants u throw out..
