Good day all.

Please, I need your advice on one wicked stubborn tenant. My family gave this our tenant

Sue the bastard. Even if his antic is to stay in the property throughout the duration of the litigation, a good lawyer like myself would include prayer for mesne profit inter alia.

What this means is, he will be liable to you in rent for the duration in which he remains in property for the duration of the suit.

You would have gone to the appropriate court to serve him the notice after which a 7 day notice of owners intention to take possession, the court would send officers to eject him the right way... As it is, he is tenant at will...

Gandollaar:
Yes nau.. otherwise get some area boys to forcefully eject him.

This might degenerate into fight and with fight, anything can happen. We're being careful.

Thanks.

The op should have excluded the tenant's name in his post

queenolofofo:
Just give OPC smoke and ogogoro money,small display,alaye don pack

This might be dangerous.

ashleyconcept:
inside life, go to high court and start a fresh case

with which money?

Do you know what having a case in naija is? I doubt if you have experienced any or even been to a courtyard before.

Never ever pray to have a case or start any case, its even better you pay the tenant to leave your apartment than running to a court unless you got long legs sha.

Take the matter to the police. He will leave your house by the tw he starts spending part of his rent in police station

KenOne:
OP like someone suggested to you file a case against the tenant in magistrate court immediately with the evidence of the center of abitration settlement of given him 6months to leave and other reminders.

The extra months he stayed after the agreed 6months by both parties before the centre of abitration he'll be forced to pay by the court.

The court will confiscate his properties through the court bailiff and auction them to pay you.

You guys wasted almost a full year chasing shadows by going to centre of abitration that can not act instead of going to magistrate court to evict the stuborn tenants within that 6months.

Nigeria court can’t help..

chival:
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.

This is the most stvpid thing I’ve ever read. So if the house is the only source of income for a retiree, he should die of starvation just to feel compassion for a nincompoop who has even failed to give money for rent.

One month is enough for any serious minded person to get another apartment once his funds are available. With 6 months, you have no fvcking excuse

Another alternative is locking him in or out on a daily basis, make life unbearable for him. Turn the front of his door into a refuse dump.

He will pack out

On what condition did your father give him quit notice ?

WAECMATHEMATICS:
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.

Guy, I have a friend who not only went through a similar scenario, but also made sure he collected the full rent and sent the tenants scrabbling for safety. Send me a dm. My last tenants didn’t even dare try it

dave4rella:


When surulere boys are roaming about,

Just buy like 1k weed for them and 2bottles of Jack Daniels

And watch them swing into action

Unless you no be guy man

This might be dangerous. Area boys might kill him!

Best thing for you to do , remove the gate of the house, and fence the house round

dominique:
The op should have excluded the tenant's name in his post

which exclude? Op should even post his fine number. That tenant is a devil, guess the OP family is a very calm one, im 99% sure it can't happen in my house, when the tenant see some kind faces, na him go use him hand pack the next day

Jabarzee:

Don't remove his roof or lock him out,if you act rashly you may end up in prison. Many landlords are languishing there.
Involve the police not a lawyer. Let police invite him to their station where they appeal to him and likely give him another 6 months. The shame of writing an undertaking to that effect may let him leave.
If you involve a lawyer and end up in court I see him still residing in that apartment much longer than 18-24 months from the day of his first appearance in court.
It is much easier to eject tenants through court process in Ogun state than Lagos state and still get to seize tenants valuables after ejection until the debt is paid.

chukwuibuipob:
Haa! U rent ur flat to a fl@theadpig Those pipu are very stubborn. Stop wasting ur time @rent tribunal .Tell ur parents to go to Albalti barrack.It is not too far to ur house..Make

please send me a call on 09064511.640.. I am a lawyer in Lagos, I know how how to deal with this type of tenant. Call me asap!

Venerable612:


PLEASE DO NOT TAKE BOTH OF THIS ADVICE.

Like the Lagos Mediation Centre told you - under Nigerian Law, and particularly Lagos’s Tenancy - you cannot resort to Self-help. Even when you have served the statutory notices.

So it means YOU CANNOT FORCEFULLY EJECT HIM from your house or you risk being sued for unlawful ejection Yourself and having to pay for damages.

What yu can do is this.

INSTRUCT A LAWYER

If the value of the Rent is less than #10M, proceed to the Magistrate Court. You can institute an action for ejection and serve it on the Tenant.

If the Value of the Rent is above #10M, then you must proceed to the High Court immediately to the same as above.

Note: on both cases, you will normally take a Writ to enforce the judgment of the court on ejection. With that, the Sherrifs in the court will be the one to come eject him from your house themselves.

ANYWAY - that’s if you want to do it legally. Otumokpo, Ogun lakaaye or any traditional means may be a faster and cheaper means . Just kidding.

leave story. let him them evict the asshole with police.

jaxxy:


So that is why he shud stay in a 2 bedroom apartment for free? While the landlord family probably starves? Or u think they don’t rely of the funds from the rent?

The man is obviously irresponsible if not he wud have found another apartment even if smaller. This kind of people take advantage of good people. They shud have him ejected by force after serving him a forceful ejection notice to give him time to park his loads out.

The law say atleast 6months quick notice after that u are at liberty to eject the tenant whichever way u like. He has gone 10months isn't that fair enough for a sane and reasonable person?

What Rubbish!!!

WAECMATHEMATICS

Thanks for your contribution. I love this.

You can also report him to ordinary Ahmed Isah, brekete family

flyingdutchman:

You are a very wicked person.

He is one of them, birds of a feather

Phelixblaq:



Nigeria court can’t help..

u must be ignorant and silly for making this foolish statement. It baffles me what people like u say,its like saying government in Nigeria can't do anything, they don't exist, I will pardon your illiteracy anyway. I got a judgement of 2.8 mill at Ikeja magistrate court and we enforced it and got the money so stop speaking with delusions

sinaj:
Remove the roof

We here for office don laugh sotey belle dey pain person! Jesu!

Seriously?
U can give ur own house to people for free, the guy should pay or get out of that house

hustla:



Before I read an finish I Don know say na Ibo

Na them dey do like this

If you now vex for them, then go claim say them dey target them., yoruba no like Ibo blah blah

If you allow that tenant for too long, later e go dey claim right for the house as if say na in own

Na from abeg make I stay for 1 month, e go turn to landlord for your head

Carry soldiers to deal with am and throwey in things

Thanks

You have the police, you have SARS, but you choose the Arbitration and Mediation Centre who claim to be incapacitated by the law to take any action...I like the way you guys reason

xpmode:
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

Thanks
