most people on this forum as saying what they don't understand. even though the landlord is devilish, never put it at the back of your that you will use free rent. you might be lucky if you have a strong case but the court will still tell you to pay all you owe. if you not satisfied, instead of disturbing your peace, leave the house or get a lawyer to write your lawyer but according to what I've seen, the landlord is smellos and that is where he base his livelihood - so you will Always have a problem with him. look for more conducive environment and enjoy your life. 1 Like |

CHESTER48:but there's no threat to throw him out just like that and whatever time he is given to move out after the case is concluded, he doesn't pay that period. And that's why I started with looking for a new place. If he gets a place sooner, better for him. |

CHESTER48:. You are a landlord abi? Is that why someone will be paying damage every year? Is that the right thing to do? The simple truth is that some of you landlord is heartless. Same happening to me now. I just parked to the place so as to be close to my site but I am regretting it now. Before I came the man sounded good and friendly but after I parked in, I realised him and his wife are evil. They said we should not greet or relate with our neighbour who I later discovered is from the same state with me. He refused to show us phcn bill. He tell you how you pay without you seeing the bill which was not the agreement. Phcn brought bill recently and he was not around and they have transferred the phcn staff he work hand-in-hand with, I discovered that the bill is #3000 and this man collects #1850 each from me and my neighbour and he didn't even pay the bill for 3months. Last time him and his wife came to my apartment to fight my neighbour's son is that right? So many dirty things that they do. Calling my neighbour's son a bastard because he is a landlord abi? For the fact that you are a landlord does not mean you should intimidate your tenants. They work to pay the rent as well. Pay 20k for damage every year for what and you are here saying he should not try what 1 Like |

Re: How Do I Deal With My Landlord? by Nobody: 10:46pm On Dec 17, 2017 |
I've been following the comments here it's been interesting so far. I'm also a young landlord (inherited from my late parents) I got tenants who have refused to vacate the property they occupy since their rents expired in May 2016 (almost two yrs now). I've followed due process, given them 6 months even to look for a new place and even gave them the advantage of not charging for the extra months they've stayed, that's how generous I've been with these people yet they chose to be wicked to me. I've been in court with them since Feb 2017 but our messed up judicial system is just too slow in delivering judgement and keeps adjourning the matter for reasons I cannot even explain. Now y'all tell me. Are some tenants not wicked? I think that's why many landlords become very tough cuz of what they've been through. OP just look for a new place, save yourself some stress. Be comfortable, be happy. Be smart. Thanks. 1 Like |

Until one of you match him force by force he won't respect himself .if you are sure you paid that caution with receipt as evidence, kindly approach your lawyer and table your case or visit the mediation centres at alausa and table your case they will invite your landlord for settlement. Leave him to issue is quit notice if ur lawyer is experienced he will regret doing that cos thst matter will face several adjoinment till he dies. If nobody teaches him a lesson he will assume is a way of life 1 Like |

Re: How Do I Deal With My Landlord? by Fweezy(m): 8:22am On Dec 18, 2017 |
This is a result of several mistakes made at the initial stage for which you are paying the price for it right now. 1. You were too hasty to leave your parents house and your impatience led you tell the agent to get a self con at a cheap price for you as a matter of urgency when your parents never tried to evict you at short notice. The agent in turn took advantage of your desperation and sold you quickly to that fool of a landlord whose crib you rented without thinking twice. 2. You failed to carry out due diligence and swallowed the lies told to u by the agent hook, line and sinker that the house and accessories/services were ok. (This jonsing on your part is allowed since its your first time hehehe!) You should have asked questions from neighbors and people living in the street about the light, the water, the house and even the landlord himself. If the landlord treats other tenants badly or is generally a bad person people who know will gladly tell you and warn you ahead of time. 3. You let your pride get the better part of you by thinking " because I felt like I needed to be a man of own and not stay in my fathers house any longer". Being a man is not all about talk and feeling alone. You felt because you had some good money and could afford to buy and fuel your own gen set that you were prepared for everything coming your way? You have to do some real deep thinking and planning for unforseen circumstances such as the one you are facing just now. Did you consult with anybody having similar experience before seeking to rent your own place? Have you thought about getting a lawyer and being able to pay legal fees in the event that this becomes a legal battle you must see through till the end? This is only just the beginning. You are young and still have much to learn so let me tell you how dis is going to end. You are gonna pack out by yourself after 3 years of frustration , insults and harassment. 20k is just the beginning of your problems. You have been scammed jointly by the agent and landlord and will not be getting your money back after paying for damages you were never responsible for. That's just about it bro. |

Re: How Do I Deal With My Landlord? by Nobody: 10:31am On Dec 18, 2017 |
sweettease:who told you that one? See even if he stays a month. Unless the landlord decided not to collect money from him oo. Lemme make u understand, it not your right to tell the landlord to give u 1 month quit notice. He can decide to serve u a month quit notice B4 ur rent expires. And that q month will be immediately ur rent expires then. If u decide to stay 2 weeks or 1.u pay. Or he can use the court to throw u out |
Re: How Do I Deal With My Landlord? by Andy2274: 12:06pm On Dec 18, 2017 |
CHESTER48:. Shut up your mouth. Who is frustrated and what kind of advice did you gave to him? Because you inherited your late father's house and became premature landlord that is making you talk anyhow. I also inherited a house and I have built my own too. I work and get paid very well. So I am not a broke man. Not all tenants are broke. Like I said earlier, I parked to the place to enable me finish my house to my taste with the latest design I want. If I want to park to my house today I will do without stress. Go and work and build your own house not bragging on inherited property. 25yrs that have never step out of his father's house and does not know what life is. 1 Like |
