Good morning nairaland
Please, this is not a counter thread to yesterday's....

I stay in a self con, just because I felt like I needed to be a man of own and not stay in my fathers house any longer. So I got this house last year December, all packages was paid for including damages and likes. I was told light was stable, water runs into the house, pump fully working and other amenities.

Fast forward to after I moved in, non of this was working, for a whole year it was a low current, I fetch water from the well, in fact nothing was working. After four months in the house I noticed the land lord was living close by, this got to me cause I never wanted a monitoring sprit as a landlord. The man is so naive and wicked, he creates problem with his tenants so he can them out after a year for refreshed packages. Anytime he wants to try that with me am always calm,so he doesn't have a reason to misbehave.

After 6 months of no light he brought the bill and asked us to pay, I was reluctant cus I felt at least we should pay half the money since there had been no light. The next thing was to cut all light entering each rooms, promising reconnectection after payment. I made the payment cause 6k is not the problem.

With all these observations I called the agent and told him I hope he won't give me too quit notice after a year, the same way he does to others, he told me blatantly that "shey be e se landlord ( u dint offend him na"). I was like so quit notice is the reward for annoying the landlord. I was like no shaking, I go show una.

Just a month ago the light was fully repaired, not very high current, but at least TV is working and fan.

My rent is due, i was asked to pay the new rent, wanted to wire the money when the agent called me and told me I was to pay extra 20k for damages, I was like, what the flying Bleep!!!, does one pay damages twice, I told him he should point out what I damaged, he said that's how the landlord wants his own... I felt bad and betrayed, used and dumped. After a whole year of running on generating set. This is a movement driving towards very obvious quit notice. Of which me sef no be butter but I like respecting people.

Dear nairalanders, how do you guys think I can go about it, 20k makes a difference in the economy oo.

Lalasticl.ala, help me ask well meaning Nigerians

Is that the only apartment you can get? is the rent that cheap? its obvious u're not a student so how do u cope without those basic amenities.
I'll advice u get a new apartment instead of been threatened with quit notice cos if u pay now, U'll pay next year nd d following..,....

Thank god for my landlord is totally different he stays in next compound but i hardly see him even passing my street talk less of harassment or nagging.

I actually hate moving around, I close late from my personal business so light was not an issue, I put on Gen almost through out the day at work.... So when I get home Na to just on Gen for few hours and sleep.. Bros moving is not that simple, I made a mistake not investigating before making initial payment

since the third month in the house, I had a feeling that's how they do, make sure the tenant don't stay long Dan one year, the only lady dt stayed Dan one yr, he said d babe no greet am for party where dem jam,.... Bro is that a valid reason to snd the tenant out?

I pity you ,coping with this economy problem + Buhari problem then getting home you can't have peace at home adding the problem of your landlord to it. OP you are writing letter to health issues.

Okk

so the landlord wants you to be paying for damages every year!


It seem you are the gentleman fela was talking about in his song. who gentleman eppp? Remove your sokoto and show him some craze. Bring some bad boys to smoke indian hemp in his house for like everyday and let him smell it. Next time he comes with the payment for damages, look him in the eye and tell him to "Bleep OFF".


When your house rent expires, tell him you will pay him but dont have the money yet. postpone the payment till about 4 months into the new year. By then he will know you are not a gentleman.

ok

Wehdone sir

Why do you want to continue in fear of the known and unknown? Start looking for a new place, let him take you to court and give you a quit notice then let the court case drag for months before the eventually verdict that will give you extra 6-12 months without rent to move out. The sweetest part is that you are not obligated to pay a penny while the whole process is ongoing. Free housing for you for like a year(give or take). That will teach him to respect his tenants. Your name Dicksonpal is strange sha

Ur matter Na small one

I thought Damages fee is Refundable....
if your house is intact then the Damages fee u paid at first should be used for the new year

contact your lawyer

Send me his details to deal with him. But first destroy the damn place b4 parking out. Disconnect all the lamp holders, crack the water closet, destroy the taps and sink. Destroy all the wall sockets and ruin all the wall paint.

Please move out of that hole for your sanity sake. Payment for damages every year? Who does that? Investigate properly next time

Why can't you atikulate urself from the house oga?

Did you sign any agreement/contract while you were moving in?

Pack out from that slum!!!

Oga go back and manage in ur father's house. buy a piece of land and build ur own buganlow shikenan!

OP, give a lawyer that 20k to use in writing a letter to your landlord and see how he'll comport himself.

But if I were you, I'll pack out of the place to a more conducive environment. Don't let the landlord infect you with his poverty mentality.

he haven't met core northern tenants, they will even burn down the house before packing. I just hate landlords wahala

Burn the house down then pay for damages. Pack your things out first
