Do you know the circumstances behind over staying their rent?.
What if they had hopes to pay, what if the Landlord understood. You people saying move to the village blah blah. Really?.

That someone is down doesn't mean they won't rise or that dey had been wretched all along. Help if you can or walk away.

You guys wait till you need help nd the whole world goes logical on you.

People are committing suicide daily and the world keeps saying dey didn't voice out.

Someone voices out now, you people drag them to further gutters

mezarddinny:
why do Nigerian tenants like frustrating owners like this? I am experiencing the same, when they come to rent the house, it is hitch free but when you tell them to move out after they have owed you for long, they start forming strong head. you and your husband don't have a job yet you stayed put in another mans house without no hope of payment, if na Una employer no give Una salary for 3 months, wahala go don burst.


my advice for you is to move to your village and start farming at least you will get a cheaper room and free land or cheap lease, no be by force to stay for lag abeg

The insensitive person her is the OP that comfortably balanced in someone’s house for 8 months without paying. Last minute was before their rent ended, then they waited 8 months so tay the owner had to go to court for his/her own property. If that is not heartlessness I don’t know what is.
OP, if I was in your shoes I will move out of Lagos ASAP. You build yourself a pretty decent life in other less expensive states.

Carry your emotional and all what not issues and waltz out of my mentions abeg.

Please shut the hell up!!!

Are you the OP's main handle?
Those people living in the village, are they not human? People here have given their advice by suggesting they move to the village and build their lives from the scratch there again without any debt of house rent, bills hanging over their head.
It's always better to live within your means and cut your coat according to your cloth.
You have suggested giving OP money, kindly pay some money into OP's account, and let those that have other suggestions for them give their suggestions in peace. Many people you are soliciting funds from don't even have the luxury to live in a 70K rented apartment. Nothing wrong in advising.

sassysure:
My dear, don't just make me remember,I have 2 stubborn tenants that have refused to pay since 2 yrs now. We are going to surprise them very soon. They will surely pay and pack out overnight. No court, no police. We know how to handle such people.
Wicked people.
Never lived in anybody's house without paying rent as that's day light robbery.
U will suffer and sweat to build a house, some wicked soul will wanna claim right on top your money and sweat.


@topic, no comment.

Meanwhile, I'm in dire need of money for my school fees presently as difficult times are here staring me in the face but this same unregulated and unguarded jibes thrown at OP is why I'm afraid of opening a thread soliciting for my school fees. Who knows, with my strong faith, my prayers may be answered. May God help us in this country. It's only when they hear you've committed suicide and then they ask 'why' while others type RIP.

Acidosis:
strong work


That's what many so called rich Nigerian students abroad do to pay school fees. Over 95% of Nigerian students in the UK, US, etc work day and night to survive.

I wonder why we can't replicate same over here.

emptor:
I work too if you must know.

Acidosis:
Okay, great. May divine help locate you.

ThothHermes:
Two years is a bit much but are they simply refusing to pay or is it that they don't have the money?
In the OP's case I don't think it's wickedness or anything. They were paying the 400k until their predicament. A single event can derail a person's best laid plans.
Landlords also commit robbery in the name of agreement and all those cutthroat fees would-be tenants are made to pay no

Owing for 8months in Lagos is not such an unusual thing given the circumstances. I hope they get the miracle they seek.

PS: You can't collect the rent and still evict them. You only get one. Na mouth you dey make

emptor:
Those that can help her should please. I know those who won't give her shishi are the ones insulting her the most. Such is life. I pray helpers locate you and your family ASAP.

For issue of school fees,one always have the option of deferring a semester or two to go hustle out his/her school fees. I recall a mechanical engineering student of Unizik some years back, who had to leave school for a while because of finances to go work full-time at the construction site of Davis Suite(Hotel) in New Haven Enugu when it was being built and the next compound to mine back then. This guy lived on site with other artisans throughout the construction of the hotel and we became friends. He went back to school to finish and he is presently working for Forchbahn AG, a railway company in Zurich, Switzerland.

People have their own stories and have made tough decisions.

Leave the goat. He thinks the people that contribute here are just swimming in cash. When some of them wake up 5am to go and work and then find the strength to attend school. He thinks we were put on earth to feed him. Hunger never sama your head. A young man like him with plenty muscles is talking like a baby. He say he need to school and cannot work at the same time, he’s relying on strong faith . So we that do it are fools abi? Hunger fire you dia. If you like commit suicide. Who are you threatening? You think we don’t have our own problems? Person die na Im own don end be that.

ifyalways:
3 bedroom flat for husband(sick) , non working wife and two kids. None of you or people close to you adviced you guys to subtly sublet out one or two of the rooms for atleast 100K each to help offset the bill?

You got some cash, instead of trading on things like foodstuff(daily sales gauranteed) you went to sale clothes?

Bad decisions all through.

Going forward, ask your family and relatives for help and look for a mini flat(one bedroom). It must not be within your immediate locality .Maybe Agboju area. 100K at most for total package and start your lives afresh . If that one no work maybe it's time to relocate to the village and re-strategize.

The landlord sef go don suffer. One year or more rent lost, plus money spent in court. Why did he need court order to get you guys out? Strong head on top another man house.

God help us all

cococandy:
You are on point. I wondered about that too

ifyalways:
I felt for the landlord more. Some people toil for 30 or more years to build a house as something to fall back on. The house might be the landlords source of income for now.

The court summons/quit notice was served Dec last year. NO one serves you quit notice unless you have owed for atleast four months. So perhaps the landlord lost last years rent, some part of this year, lawyer and court fees.

emptor:
Well, we all have our different ways in approaching issues. He worked as a labourer in a construction site, in the last 2years+, I've worked as a security guard in a hotel sleeping outside and opening gate from morning till the following morning just to be able to meet ends need. We have all suffered in this country and we have stories to tell. On the issue of deferring, I'm already 28 and deferring anything is against my time...NYSC.

teemotee:
sorry I just want to chip in that nysc is not a do or die matter if you clock 30 before graduating. You will be exempted to move on with your life. Please take a year off to sort your finances if you have to rather than depressing yourself
