dear op.
don't blame the landlord, it's bad tenants that always make landlords to be on their toes.

some tenants will just pay the first rent and pack into the house, then to pay subsequent rents becomes a big problem.

so your landlord is just trying to put you on alert so that you will pay up.

if your rent is due by January, hold your peace and ignore till January before u take your decision.


remain blessed

Tell him you want to move out in February and give him one months rent. When talking be with the money.
Its also fair you give notice when you are about to leave.

I didn't see the threats..That's a formal text massage... Maybe please meant something else in Nigeria...

If you are living in someone 's house, is it not ideal to know when to pay or explain to the land lord that you don't intend renewing...Why do we make life so complicated...

Hmmm.... my landlord na lawyer and just dey bully other tenants. Now na my turn and when he called me, na vex he take drop phone cos our discussion HOT. I paid towards the end of November last year. Light renovation was to take place in my apartment meaning I'll park in in about 2 weeks. Agent kon kukuma move my rent to Jan 1st. Landlord has been sending me messages to renew my rent and the messages usually come as threats. I just discarded them till he called me last month demanding renewal of my rent. I told him my rent was due by Jan 1st. He argued, threatened to throw me out buh I no send am. Na so he use vex cut. Called his agent and that one told him what was written in my receipt. Now Dec don reash and the man don start work again. He sends me bout 5 threat messages everyday (check the attached pictures) reminding me of my rent. I can afford to pay the rent but I don't plan to renew cos I wanna relocate due to work. Buh na by January ending my money go reash due to the kind of apartment I intend getting and yearly allowances being paid.


Question: How do I tackle this landlord come Jan


What constitute threat in the txt message from ur landlord? This is a mere notice to u. You r a very arrogant and wicked person. U don't expect to stay in someone apartment and be thinking of engaging him in fisticuffs. From ur post u have exposed truly d kind of a person u r to the whole world. Always put ur foot in someone's shoe then u'll kno how it feels like. What u do to someone today must surely comeback to u whether good or bad,that's d law of cama for u.

Nairalanders, make una epp me biko.

Not much......

We all know he must be a yoruba land-lord......I mean owners of land and lord......ancestral owners......bullshit....

Give him the doses of what he want.....

My land lord can't try that with me.........even if he is high on weed......

He has house and I have......not because of business I reside in his house, after all someone is living in my own house.......


Don't give any listening ear to the sonofabitch.......juts tell him u are living by jan ending so no need renewing the rent........he can give u quit notice which guarantees u extra 3months......worse to worst.....hire a SAN.......

I know say na all this charge and bail lawyer wey never win any single case go dey do this shit......


No listen to am.........face ur biz.....jan ending u pack out.....

But if he needs trouble give him.....ahahahahahah

Hello OP,

Simply tell him to allow you till the end of January to pay.

Then decide.
Re: How Do I Handle My Landlord? by badoh(m): 9:57am On Dec 14, 2017
Someone is saying the OP is arrogant. How is he arrogant? Pls tell me. He has evidence when the rent will expire and the lawyer who was supposed to wait till the rent expires is behaving like someone who is not learned.
The tenant right should not be infringed upon.

FreeWorld23:
u still have the right to live for at least 3 Months if your are leaving his house. Forget his threat and bullshitts

This is a big lie! You have to pay for any day you use in the house. Where is the 3 months coming from?

If you are a yearly tenant, you must get 6 months notice to pack out IF your rent is running. If you are owing rent, the law prescribe only 7 days notice to hand over the property to the owner. So again, where is the 3 months coming from?

Re: How Do I Handle My Landlord? by Edimpaul(m): 10:01am On Dec 14, 2017
First of all, dz text messages are not threats but just reminders that you should renew your rent failure of which, he would take necessary steps to evict you (through the magistrate court of course). Second, if your rent started counting in January, it therefore means ur rent will expire on 31st December 2017 coz Dtz exactly 1 year. u should try to move out of the apartment b4 the expiration of your rent in order to avoid embarrassment when the court eventually comes to throw ur belongings out. (that is of course after he must have served you with the requisite notices and summons) #Peace.

Re: How Do I Handle My Landlord? by vicfy(m): 10:04am On Dec 14, 2017
Dude, I'll advice u pay him or find a means to work it out with him... I dunno where u reside, Bt the Rivers State Property Law (which is similar to other States Property Law) stipulates dt "tenant shall notify in writing his/her Landlord of his/her intention to renew or otherwise, three months to the expiration date". And since you didn't write him, you better get yourself a good lawyer.

Chai. Bros you don ves ooo! Lol. Seriously I dig you. I also have a land somewhere in Lagos and I'm planning to build a commercial building there and will want to reap the fruits of my labour.


Like I said earlier, the dude is a BULLY. Almost all the agents in my local government knows him cos he's got properties abound. He may trample on me if I tow the 'ejor sir' lane. I've never been rude to him and I don't intend to be. I plan telling him to give me till end of Jan to pay him buh na waka I wan waka.


It I very simple. Tell him when your rent in expiring and that you won't be renewing your rent. The landlord need to know about hour can make arrangements to get new tenant for the place
