Don't pay to any of them until they resolve the issue between.

Who did you sign the tenancy agreement with? Pay to the person until proven otherwise by documents or the courts or alternative dispute resolution mechanisms within the family of the landlord/landlady or between them and the tenants,meaning the tenants should call the quarrelsome duo to a meeting.
Ask for documentations on the rightful owner of the house.

simple, in the main time keep your money until they decide who's acct. it should be payed into.
I have found myself in such a situation before, if the court takes eternity to resolve it, stay till eternity. but after the resolution, be ready to pay the eternity arias.

If I were you, I will just be living in the house freely until they have resolved what is between them. My advice is that you should sit on the fence, don't pay any of them, whenever any of them comes around, tell him or her to contact the other.

You must have signed an agreement before you took possession of the property. The question is, between the landlord and the husband, who signed the tenancy agreement? The best way out is to go to court High Court or Magistrate depending on what the value of your rent is. Its called Interpleaders Summon. Pay the money into the court account and let the both of them go to court and sort themselves out.

Get the police involved. They should both sign an undertaking on who receives the rent...
Re: Who Should We Obey In This Case, The Landlord Or The Wife? by Nobody: 5:19pm On Apr 20, 2018
And you are still staying in a compound that you cannot determine true ownership??
Just use you're money to begin to look for another apartment before your life and that of your family will be used to settle husband and wife problem

Its not your job to determine ownership of the house, leave that to ambode and his people,
Its your job to protect yourself n your family and as u can see,, u are in dire need of that protection now

Except ambode has just given u a new job

Pls Lawyers in the house I need your advice here.

Our Landlord and the wife have been fighting for whose account the tenancy fees should be paid into. We paid the initial money to the landlord and packed in, our first tenancy renewal was also paid to the landlord but now, the wife came up with an order that no tenant should pay into the landlord's account again, she warned us seriously that every payment should be made into her personal account which she sent to every tenant.

The landlord in the other hand is also threatening us not listen to his wife unless we want to pay double. One of the tenants that paid into the landlord's account has been asked to vacate his apartment by the Landlady.

Both the Landlord and his wife are claiming ownership of the house but some elders around told us that the house belongs to the Landlady. Right now we're confused on what to do. Pls I need matured contribution(s) thank you.
Go to their house, ask to see both of them. When they are in the sitting room with you, tell them you came to pay your rent then drop it on the table and wait for either of them to pick it up then they can fight themselves over who should collect it. Note.... Carry a friend that can pose as a lawyer or a lawyer friend I'd you have one.
Re: Who Should We Obey In This Case, The Landlord Or The Wife? by talk2percy(m): 5:20pm On Apr 20, 2018
Hold ur peace, as it is right now nobody is ur landlord or landlady. They should sort themselves out first then u know who ur real landlord is.

Re: Who Should We Obey In This Case, The Landlord Or The Wife? by sekem: 5:21pm On Apr 20, 2018
How much is the amount in question?

If it is like 10k and below, pay to the landlady

If it is like from 250k and above, pay to the landlord

Yes, it's a man's world

If you don't like it, you can go an' die

in this case, both the landlady and the husband have no right to collect rent or send anyone packing, until the matter of ownership is resolved in a law court

so on point. or they both settle. you guys are human beings as well and not cash cows. if i were a tenant i will report the matter to the police that way none of them can just come forcefully eject me, but before all that i will have a word with the landlord and advice him to settle with the wife or i am not paying.

All the tenants should pay to none of them, take an action in court to determine who owns the property, that, u guys can do by briefing a lawyer. They, the husband and wife should be made to pay the cost of litigation which should be deducted from your rent. The court will determine who owns the property.

However, as far as they are legally married and are still living together, the property is that of the family and the head is the man.

Right now withhold the payment, but make sure you have your full rent at any given time, next bring all the tenants together so to make an arrangement for a lawyer. Until they resolve the ownership of the house by the court of competent jurisdiction never exchange any money with anyone in the name of rent and that goes to all the tenants.

Tell the wife that you paid into the landlord's account already.

Tell the landlord that you paid into the wife's account already.

Whatever the landlord says, tell him that he is right.

Whatever the landlord's wife says, tell her that she is right.

Let them figure it out.

I smell free rent.

This is my legal advice to you as a lawyer.
In Law, in other to resolve situations like the one you just mentioned, you have to initiate a Stakeholder Interpleader application.
This will be used to Summon both the Landlord and wife in court to come and state why Rent should be paid to either of them.
It doesn't waste time to be ratified. Meet a lawyer in your area for more and how to go about this. It's a very simple thing!!!
Re: Who Should We Obey In This Case, The Landlord Or The Wife? by gbogboija: 5:58pm On Apr 20, 2018
This is a very simple case. Get your lawyer to write them informing them that you are confused on the new directive from the landlord and the landlady. State it clearly that you will not pay until they both reach agreement on who to pay to.
