shakurkings:Probably constituting a nuisance. If your dogs are well trained and live indoors, you should have no issues. Sadly, most Nigerian dog owners don't know a thing about proper training and grooming of dogs. I used to live in a 2 bedroom flat with two big German shepherds. 3 other tenants, including the landlady. No issues. 4 Likes |

daewoorazer: The DOs and DON'T Landlord and landlady should make your list. While looking for an apartment, one should consider the characters, rules and regulation of the landlord and landlady in question before taking up an apartment for rent especially residential apartment. Although, almost all landlord and landlady have one rules or the other over their housing properties and their tenant that they rented out the apartment to. There are some with extra judicial laws especially those that live with their tenant. As some of them breath over their tenant on a daily basis over apartment and compound issues. These fire spitting landlord and landlady breath over their tenants over almost all issues in the compound. They caution their tenant over almost everything in the compound or apartment. Time to clocking in into the compound especially during night time. The volume of music sound that should come out of your bedroom. The category of visitors that should see you. Some landlord and landlady do not give their house to bachelor or spinsters as some believe in married couple only. Most landlord and landlady forbid trading or business around the premises including the rearing of poultry animals like chicken or livestocks such as goats and domestic pets such as cat, dog, parrot etc. The security levee or watch night money to pay. The dustbin level to pay. The landlord or landlady regulate the time to switch off your generator set. I am not saying this rules are wrong. They are actually right and it should be respected so long as it was given to the tenant. But if you are the type of person that flout rules and do not want to obey rules then you the tenant will have misunderstanding with the landlord and or landlady. Some tenants who have had this bad experience from a harsh landlord and landlady often look for houses that the owner is not staying in the very compound or close by so that they can have breathing space. 1 Like |

Great thread but dont remain a tenant forever. Work towards owning your own land to build a house of your own. Check my signature for cheap lands |

You are quite right. Thieves came to where I live 2 weeks ago. I moved in about 2 months back and was relaxed until the robbery incident. I was told later by some residents that the house is prone to robbery attacks. And they have always succeeded in their mission. Meanwhile, the landlord still insists that such a thing has never happened! Well, I know who to believe because after the robbery I told the landlord that from the action and discussion of the robbers ,I have a feeling that the robbers were not first timers there, but he denied. I'm still moving this week by God's grace. Thanks for the post. |

Bros, do not always jump into concluding people "don't know a thing about proper dog training". My Lhasa doesn't even step out of my flat unless I'm walking him. My Caucasian, according to my landlady is too big and scary. That's my dog's only offence. frugal: |

Most importantly, the neighborhood. We rented an apartment close to a so called local govt. Chairman. My room bordered his fence. I barely could stay there because of smoke from his kitchens even with the windows closed. . This family used firewood to cook 24/7. The earliest I could ever go to sleep in that room was 2.a.m. when they had put off their gen and gone to sleep. I suffered ha. 1 Like |

you may just have to solve the problem if possible. i have lived in an apartment which was always robbed until i took it. my first observation was on the window, i saw that it looked recently plastered and painted. so, i called the Landlord, but he denied it. before moving in i did my personal survey of the property and realized that they was no barricade to stop anyone from going behind as that is the case. so, i blocked the passage with security wire, and after couple of months i brought in dogs. I lived there more than 4years before moving out, and i was never robbed for once though my other neighbor were robbed before i brought in dogs. to cut the long story short, within one week after i moved out, the robbing spree continued ave4: 1 Like |

It is also necessary to consider proper drainage system, else your area or just outside your gate will have waste water from neighbouring houses flowing across, on the ordinary ground. |
