The best way is to break a wall and remove ALL their properties, even sand. Then claim it collapsed,ensure to do it when no one is at home. Pack it outside, then still continue going to court. The judiciary will also be slow on them

My friend, Hire like 30 brutal n heavily armed soldiers 2 chase dem away

Perfecttouchade:
Is it a face me and face u house, lock the toilets,kitchen, disconnect their electricity& water supply..... remove the roof and see maybe they won't leave when rain start beating their properties, make sure u don't fight them Sha...

Don't try this, it's called self-help in law. You'll loose your house to your tenant if you try it, bet me.

shadeyinka:

The Nigeria legal system is extremely slow when it comes to tenant/landlord perlava.

However, even if the court case stays for 10years, at the end of the day, they would be made to pay everything.

Wisdom:
Tell your lawyer that based on prevailing economic situation, you want to increase the rent by 300% wef March 2020. Let your lawyer serve the notice AND then continue with the court case.

If they are wise, they will beg for an out of court settlement.

Another move, while u wait for the court case, so that before the court judgement would be over the rent alone that they are owing will frustrate them

budosky:


Simple stuff.

Get 20 - 30k

Go to the closest army barracks and tell them you wanna evict some people from your property.

Hire 5 soldiers to do the job.

That's all.

. GUY, YOU DONT TRY THIS NONSENSE IN LAGOS, IF YOU AS A LANDLORD TRY IT, YOU WILL REGRET, LAGOS LANDLORDS KNOW THEIR LIMIT. LAGOS IS ONE OF THE STATES IN NIGERIA WHERE TENANCY RIGHTS ARE PROTECTED. SO DONT COMPARE LAGOS TO PH WHERE LANDLORDS ARE SEEN LIKE SMALL gods

joyfullyjoyous:
The law is more favourable to tenants and this is why they misbehave most times. It's high time this law is ammended. In developed nations you can't owe your house owner for that long. You coul be shot by him n he would defend himself by saying he was provoked. The house should please deliberate on this and come out with better tenancy laws.
Had a tenant who did not pay for three years saying she's building her own house. Had another who moved from a room apartment to three bedroom flat then ended up owing for three years. Some would have but will deliberately not paid. It's an act of wickedness.
So pls something has to be done fast.

Wow... So life in Lagos is that easy.

U really know pH.

In PH a landlord especially ikwerre land lord can beat u physically for owing him one month rent

9jayes:


Baba arrange some guys to dress like herbalists, let them be chanting round the house around 12am for 7 days. If anybody wants to challenge you tell dem its your house nd your ritual e no concern expired tenants.

U no know say na Naija u dae. U never jam stubborness

MarianaTrench:
Remove the door leading yo their apartment

What ever you do Poster, please don't take this advice. DO NOT REMOVE THE DOOR THAT LEADS TO THEIR APARTMENT as It is not allowed in Lagos state (you can read the Lagos state Tenancy Laws) But the roof though, you can remove as there is nothing about removing the roof in the law.

lucky4west:
this is a difficult situation...i have witnessed it a lot threaten their children with thugs, and cult boys but do not show ur face them go pack one time if na benin u de u no get problem only one gun shot from cultist them go run carry load for head...most especially if they have children...legal procedures the give them room to misbehave

U never jam...lol

engrzico:
Since both stay in the ground floor, block all drainage system and flood the compound

Talk well abeg. Flood compound for dry season?

SELL THE HOUSE AND REST

armadeo:
Some tenants are evil joor.


Imagine. What if the landlords means of lively good is that rent.


Guy better just disconnect light and water first. Today sef not tomorrow.

Next thing lock gate anyhow.

Treat them.like trapped animals. They can quarrel and shout but have no mercy cos they don't have mercy on you

I dae tells u, put for gate say u lock ur gate by 6.

That if u come home past 6 u will sleep outside in fact FRUSTRATE THERE LIVES

richPHAROAH:
just invite thieves and arm robbers to come and rob the compound weekly. them go leave by force

If then catch them wetin u go talk

Destroy the building, and erect another one.

Coldie:

Another move, while u wait for the court case, so that before the court judgement would be over the rent alone that they are owing will frustrate them

Of course!
If they know how to waste and frustrate landlord's time, the landlord will use them to make more money. Is that not the goal of business!?

RealIgboboy:

I'm not the Op of the thread, the thread belongs to someone else but why will such happen? I don't think such will happen in Nigeria

1759ademola:
I wouldn't judge those tenants. God knows all illegal fees you've added to the rent when you were taking them.
And the tenants will be like 'Se maga niwa ni'
Many landlords treat tenants as slaves.
Anyways, CALL A PLUMBER TO DISCONNECT THEIR TOILET FROM THE SOAK AWAY.
I don't want to suggest the next one that will evict them in minutes because of some wicked landlords around.

Na u go loose. Tenants to send them go shit for the compound

That's the beauty of the Italian M.A.F.I.A

This type of nonsense cannot happen in Sicily.

Mostdetailed:
You need to Know the court will not only give you possession of your building but you will be getting every denari the tenants have stayed in arrears.
From the moment their rent expired they became tresspassers to that/those room(s) they occupy and will pay every dime. PLEASE DONT MIND THE MISCONCEPTION THAT THEY ARE LIVING FOR FREE, THEY AINT. By the time the court gives judgement, apply to execute the judgement for unpaid rents.

Yes after the judgement you will be able to evict them legally by force if need be. Collecting your arrears is another story altogether.

If the landlord serve them that kind of notice while they wait for court case no be person go tell them to think am

Omo use violent way.i swear even lawyer will advise him to leave the house peacefully.our tenant that we went to court with stayed for 2 years without paying until i land to see my dad after some months and the guy was still there.i unlease my beast mode.in one week his out

kenfarm:
Unfortunately case in court and yu can not do otherwise until court final judgement is out . U made a huge mistake by taking the case to court. Some tenant fit claim landlord house oh no b who first report case dey always wine oh just be cool till then

i tell u.. d case going to court was a big mistake.. he could have used the Lagos state mediation center or the humans right department of the police.. these two will handle the erring tenants and there rents and months given will not lapse a day before they move out..
im a living witness of this scenario. my late dads house tenants were stubborn but these people handled them squarely..

obehi247:
Leave dem first make dem think say them wise, e go shock dem when the court go ask dem to pay for the 3years rent. Matter dey court nor give any body the opportunity to misbehave. Another thing say, now the agreement dem get with the landlord on the contract paperwork fit make the landlord helpless

These people fit pack load run for night u no know naija

Coldie:

If the landlord serve them that kind of notice while they wait for court case no be person go tell them to think am

Of course.
But that is if they have a lawyer to advise them. Some tenants bank on frustrating the landlord until he asked them to just pack out without paying anything

DEBJOCH1:
TENANTS ARE KINGS IN LAGOS THAT SHOULD NOT BE TREATED ANY HOW, COME TO THINK OF IT, WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE JUST GIVING QUIT NOTICE TO EVERY ONE IN YOUR HOUSE, DONT YOU GUYS THINK THE FAULT IS FROM YOU PEOPLE. INFACT GOD BLESS FORMER GOVERNOR RAJI FASHOLA FOR GIVING TENANTS A SAY IN LAGOS STATE. I REMEMBERED IN THOSE YEYE DAYS WHEN IF A TENANT OWES A LANDLORD FOR JUST ONE MONTH, THE NEXT DAY LANDLORD WILL GO AND ARRANGE AREA TOUTS TO MOVE TENANTS LOAD TO THE STREET. BUT NOW ADAYS GREEDY LAGOS LANDLORDS ARE NOW PAYING FOR THEIR SIN. AS IT NOW, THERE IS LITTLE OR NOTHING YOU CAN THAN TO WAIT FOR THE COURT TO DECIDE. IF YOU WANT TO EXERCISE FORCE NOW ESPECIAKLY NOW THAT THE CASE IS STILL IN COURT, THE TENANT MAY CLAIM DAMAGE AND YOU MUST SURELY PAY. NOW THAT THE COURT VERDICT IS NOT FAVORING YOU, SO THE JUDICIARY SYSTEM IN NIGERIA IS NOW A POOR SYSTEM?

When you become a landlord in Lagos and experience what others are passing through.them you will understand that living in a house without payment is pure evil.

Trust me, it works - my father did this for a tenant. The tenant did not only pack out but came with his family to apologize and paid his rent in full.

Shibaraba:
Boiled egg, palm oil, black calabash.. ..

That's your solution

Just hire lepers and put them inside the house to stay with them, I assure you they will run and live the house for you.

Looo, this is a new one I heard, honestly one needs some level of craziness to survive in Lagos.

Evangkatsoulis:

No be talk be this u would destroy a building of less than 5years because of 500k rent.

That's pure foolishness
