He probably doesn't have the funds to rent a new apartment yet. He'll leave eventually. Home owners should learn to have compassion for their tenants. The state of affairs in the country is causing millions to suffer untold hardship.
so home owner should allow him to continue to live for free because he built the house for them?

na by force to live in 2 bedroom flat or in lagos?

Why are they giving others a bad name? Learnt landlords in Lagos hardly rent their houses out to the easterners. They claim after they pay their first year, they hardly pay for subsequent years...

WAECMATHEMATICS......My family had been in similar position. The tenant will do nothing, tbh. It will still end in another sort of legal tussle whilst he remains there.

No gentleman sth again. He knows what he is doing, he wants to remain there and find some thing to institute another case that will prolong his stay.

Take out his power firstly, he remains
Take out his door, yes....you will fix it when he leaves.

Give him two weeks....tell your family to pay police officers then use thugs...yes thugs, take his stuffs to the streets, na so our own take go. (WE ARE VERY GOOD CHRISTIANS TOO).

This is the best way to resolve it. Just get the police inform then get carpenters to do the work when he has left the house.

Remove the roof

As funny as this may sound, this is one the best way to boot out a tyrant tenant.

My family had done something similar in the past to eject a repulsive tenant by removing his apartment roof, doors, windows and other thing to make him inconvenient. Nobody told him, he left like he is being pursued from dream.

Well, the mediation can only advice on the stipulated statutory provisions to evict a tenant. That is, serving a 6 months notice for a yearly tenancy and thereafter 7 Days Owner's Intention to Recover Premises. Afterwards, you would have to head to court if the tenant is still in possession. As a lawyer, going to mediation is advisable because it's faster and less costly than going to court. But what I usually do in situations like this is putting in clauses in agreements at mediation like you will claim all arrears of rent and legal fees if the matter goes to court, it encourages tenants to find alternative means without having to be liable to that clause.

In this instance, your best bet will be to get a lawyer to do the needful by providing him with the notices served in the tenant and then process a writ in court. It will be a magistrate court within your jurisdiction.

Get a lawyer to do the needful asap...or you can call/whatsapp Barrister Biodun on 08165413597 for further legal advice

That's not true. It depends on the area. Areas like festac, satellite, agbara...who and who lives there? I live close to LASU, Ojo campus and 60-70% prefer to give their houses to Igbos because they do business and can pay. The caveat is when some meet a suegbe landlord, they begin to form Bruce Lee.

...but when the landlord eye open, there is no choice. If you access well, the OP's family might not be Igbos or maybe are by-the-books kind of people. Nobody come Lagos to count bridge.

It has nothing to do with tribe. Stubborn people are stubborn people. So, to counter it, you must add stubbornness with madness. When I was home, in my family's apartment, if you are given 6 months, bye-bye....otherwise my mum will make you sleep outside with your load.....

PS: We are Igbos too.

Good day all.

Please, I need your advice on one wicked stubborn tenant. My family gave this our tenant a quick notice since February this year 2019. As a matter of fact, the tenant and our family went to Lagos Arbitration and Mediation Centre. It was at the Mediation Centre that we both reached an agreement that he should leave our apartment.

So, we gave him 6 months quit notice in February, 2019. His previous house rent elapsed that same February, 2019. So, for the 6 months quit notice we gave him, he didn't pay any money. He actually said he would need 6 months to search for another apartment at that meeting we had with him at the Mediation Centre in February. So, we gave him the 6 months for free.

The 6 months we gave him elapsed at the end of August, 2019. When the 6 months elapsed, he refused to vacate the apartment. So, my family went back to the Lagos Mediation Centre to complain. The Mediation Centre sent him (the tenant) a letter giving him 7 days ultimatum to vacate the apartment. At the end of the 7 days, this man refused to leave. My family complained again to the Mediation Centre and they said they would look into it.

After another 3 months again by last November, 2019, this tenant refused to leave the apartment. My family went back again to the Lagos Mediation Centre and one of the officials there said "So, the man has not left the house since?". We responded yes. At the Mediation Centre there, they said something like they are incapacitated by the law to take any action.

This is December now going to an end. The tenant is still in the house. He has refused to vacate the apartment. It's about 10 months now living in our apartment without any payment. He has refused to leave.

The apartment is a 2 bedroom flat in Aguda Surulere, Lagos. The tenant's name is Mr Chigozie Okongwu James.

We don't want to take law into our hands as it seems there is no solution to the problem through the Lagos Mediation Centre. It's about 10 months now!

What can my family do to get the man ejected from the apartment? Your advice are welcomed.




to start with you didn't tell us why you are ejecting or evicting him.
there are solution but are you sure the mediators is being fair in all sincerity over this case.
make he nobi say the man don follow backyard door see mediation officers. they are meant to tell you the next step to follow.
the next step is............ but first give your reason for wanting to evict the tenant.

Get the police to kick him out of the house and if he takes you to court, show the courtroom you have given him more than 6 months notice to find another place. That's if he can afford to take you to court.

Sue him to court, demand for full year rent.
Before then write a another notice to him that you are taking the case to court if he fails to settle his rent of move out of the apartment.

Failure to settle his rent or move out, means the agree to settle the case in court of law and will bare the court expenses.

______
Now you have dug the grave for him. No matter what, he is going to lose the case and will be forced to pay you compensation, at least the extra months spent.

If you don't can't do it alone, walk in any lawyer's way he will help you secure favorable judgment,since you have a good case

Meanwhile. Contact me for link to a cheaper way of expunging MR James.

He will be hearing his name loud like every five five minutes.

He will be seeing a disappearing monster in his apartment.

Inside the apartment will be hot like bakery even if it’s raining and the AC is on.

He will be receiving strange slaps whenever he enters the bathroom.

He will see disappearing footprints of blood on the floor.

The list goes...

Thank me later.
