hello everyone,
please I want to ask about some tenancy law and wish some lawyers here will give us a full clarification. .if a tenant is given a 3 or 6 months quit notice, will he still need to pay rent for the period stated in the notice?

thanks
shocked YES OOO! After all, the landlord's house does not belong to YMCA/YWCA (free shelter). If the case gets to court, the landlord's lawyer will seek for mesne profit which simply means the profit the landlord would have made if the tenant had left his rented apartment when mandated to. This might as well be equal to the rent expected from the troublesome tenant.

Yes you pay all.

After expiration of your tenancy, you will now pay what they call mesne profit.

Mesne profit is equivalent to rent.


Btw, put yourself in your Landlord's shoes ooo..
u no wan pay rent abi?
kuntash:
The Quit notice for a yearly tenancy I understand can go for up to 6months and during that period, the tenant is not supposed to pay anything but to provide an opportunity to plan a pack out..


however, if that tenant is NOT a yearly paying one, the duration of 6months doesnt suffice, I think its a Month or thereabout ,,

Just as a friend suggested, he would prefer to engage his tenants to be paying on monthly basis so as they can easily meet up and sort out any issue as they arise within the shortest possible time - I think I agree with that..

Not profit he would have made really.
It's equivalent to rent but called mesne cos tenancy has seized by virtue of notice to quit.

Not a lawyer though, but most people don't pay.
Getting a Quit notice usually indicates a bad relationship or a relationship gone sour between the landlord and tenant.

Most times the landlord doesn't even care and just wants you to leave.

The tenant too does strong head and refuses to pay.
Some tenants eh are just terrible human beings. My conscience cannot let me stay in a house without paying and still be using strong head.

Reading most of the comments here you will understand why our country is so messed up ! Everybody wants to cheat whoever they can cheat ! Why would you not pay rent to the landlord b cause he has given you notice ? Same people here who would take advantage would be the same ones screaming that politicians are corrupt .

Yes, he pays monthly. That's d law. Anything otherwise will result in confusion in the land. If he doesnt have to pay, it means tenants will be fighting their landlords everywhere so as to get free 6 months to live in their houses and discharge. When they get to the new one after a year, they fight again and get free 6 months. Lolzzz.

Hehe. .. OP have u been evicted? Landlords are not smiling these days oo.

No pay anything oo. But if he's forcing you, it's simple. Just go to the market and buy a calabash and paint it white. When next he ask you for the money tell him the money is not complete yet. That the Oracle said you should wait for 7 days before taking the money out of the calabash.

After the 7days when u offer to pay him the money, the man will be like... grin

To answer that question put yourself in the position of the landlord...

Would you want someone to enjoy 6 months free stay in your house just because you gave the person quit notice? undecided

A Notice to Quit is not rent Free. It is meant to let you know in advance that the Landlord do not intend to continue the tenancy relationship with
at the expiration of the Notice.

You are to pay for every time spent in another's property, even to the fraction of days if the landlord wishes to collect it. Just as an employer is bound to pay an employee for every day/hour he/she showed up at work to the date of termination of employment even after giving him/her notice of termination. You are bound to pay your landlord for everyday on his property.

The law says, if you are a debtor 7 days, but if your rent is paid up to date 6 months quit notice applies.

Yes.
If a worker is given notice of separation, she is still paid his salary until the last working day, not so?
The tenant has to pay rent until the last day of staying in the rented premises.
If you tender your resignation, it is either you pay one month or you work for one month! If the company give you letter, they pay !

The notice means u cant be forceful ejected till its expiration and your landlord cant take any steps towards enforcing that till the notice expires.
Actually a notice is meant to expire on the eve of when ur rent is due, which means the notice was given when ur rent is still subsisting
but if u wr given a notice after the expiration of ur rent ,tthe landlord can sue u for the arrears, so its better to pack out as earlier as possible.
A notice doesn't in anyway serve as to deprive the landlord the rent due to him but rather a grace period for the defaulting tenant not to b thrown out before he gets his house in order.
Find a lawyer and luk for a rent tribunal in that jurisdiction, u jus might be surprised hw the table will be turned against the landlord

But seriously, how can anyone even consider staying FREE of charge of 6 MONTHS (even ONE MONTH SEF!) simply because he/she is looking for a new house?? What if two or three of his tenanst decides to leave at once, then what happens? LAnlord no go chop again??

Craze dey worry some people, seriously!! undecided

You seem to forget the landlord has his responsibilities as well and cannot abdicate same simply because one of his tenants decides to leave.

That doesn't apply to every employments agreement.

Back to the main issue you have to pay for all the period of stay as a tenant. For the fact that most landlord don't bother doesn't mean you must not pay. I have seen a situation that a tenant owes, after six months quit notice he packed most of his properties but decided to leave a chair just to keep the apartment. The Judge, Honourable Justice Candide Johnson then of Igbosere Lagos High Court ordered that the man should pay for all the period used within 24hours or all his properties including those in the new apartment be confiscated. And if that cannot pay for all his debt he should be reminded in prison. Till the next seven days adjourned date.
