People just don't like paying rents, both in Nigeria and abroad. As a person who has so many tenants, I don't rely on my lawyers alone but also read up on laws as it applies here. I keep going back to reread this book each time I have a stubborn tenant wahala. I even fired my lawyers in one property yesterday and will manage the house by myself from this year.

EgunMogaji:

Thanks.

Here, you can not evict tenant when they have a lease that is not expired yet. So you just got to deal with it. In my case, she breach the contract by not paying rent as due, lie about her employment status. She connive with HR; I later found out is her friend to confirm her employment. But it was all a lie. She even told the judge that she is on Worker comp and it was her friend that said she is fully employed; not her. Judge just laugh and continue like that wasn't relevant in the case. I was so mad that day, Na God no let me throw my folder at the judge self!

Dangote suspended production of 42.5R cement. What you see more in circulation is 42.5N, If you want a rapid curing Portland Cement consider Lafarge Portland Cement "Supaset".

The ugly side of property ownership/management that most people fail to mention. It is a lot easier to collect in Nigeria than US. Professional tenants in US have all the tenancy laws at the back of their hands. [/b]The case going to court buys then at least another 6 months of free rent. Getting a judgment against them is one thing, collecting is a whole new headache. The court loves those filing fees.

Now talking about Nigeria, tenants even form "association" to battle the landlord. I gave a flat for free to a troublemaker to act as a rent/debt collector and caretaker. But Enugu is where the most headache exists. Some people want to live in a place they cannot afford. First rent is never a problem. It is the subsequent rent renewal that all the long stories show up. Some tenants will turn to "artful dodgers". So when people build hostels(annual renewal) and hotels (daily renewal) in Nigeria, I understand.

It is more easier to collect rent in the US than Nigeria
With a Judgement and the tenant place of work
You can file papers and collect
Or with Judgement file paper to take their state tax return if they get any taxes back from the state
If It is a state that have state tax

By the time you go through the rigmarole, I would have hired 4 Cele pastors, a bell and three white candles to come and dance in my compound and the tenants go .

By the way I like how your statements are laced with a lot of "if". They are called "professional" tenants for a reason unless you are dealing with amateurs. They can file for continuance to drag the case out. They are in it to irritate and wear you out knowing that the court process does not move fast enough. Sometimes you will be better off with eviction only and count your losses.

I have not use any lawyer
In a federal Court Bankruptcy court I file all the paper by myself
Had a Judgement, sending the case back to district court after the Bankruptcy case was finished
The case came to district court
she paid me

GoodFaith:

I call myself student because I am willing to Learn
"They are called "professional" tenants for a reason"
Dude I had one
she try to file one paper after the other
That don't work in the cities I have my properties
Like u " I would have hired 4 Cele pastors, a bell and three white candles to come and dance in my compound and the tenants go ."
if it work great

While the case lasted, were you paying mortgage in the house? How long did the case take over all? A lot of houses in Nigeria were built with no mortgages. It makes things a lot easier with no banks breathing down your neck.

Making your own blocks, properly and with the right mixture will be cheaper.

The key is making sure that they are following best practises.

Waladade4luv:

But i heard that the block making matching will press and shake the block well and with d matching it will b stronger

now I understand this. It means if return is due to tenant, it goes to you right?.

The problem is obtaining tenant info. Landlord may be denied obtaining info as that's considered privacy.

GoodFaith:


I don't have mortgages .the reason why I am cash break
I can get a tenant out in 45 days,( Reason for have security deposit of a month and a half)
If I start the paper after on the third , if rent not paid
on the fourth send out seven days notice, if not paid
File papers with court on about on the 14th
Court schedule hear within two weeks
On court day if tenant didn't pay
court get tenant 10 days
After10 days if payment not make
file eviction papers with the court
Judge will likely sign the paper of eviction within 48 hour
