Meet a lawyer to serve them quite notice, then sue them to court to pay the arrears. Make sure an acknowledgment copy of the letter is signed by each of the receiver. |

If its Lagos, go through the human right activist section of the state government. They have many outlets in each local government. They'll charge a fee of #8,000 and would handled the cases. That's how my dad was able to recoup over 400k outstanding PHCN bills from his tenants. Starboytwo: 5 Likes |

Starboytwo: My dear, the tenant in question may be knowledgeable than you think, and maybe just taking advantage of the situation, get a lawyer to serve him, even at that he is entitled to a 3/6months notice. And if you feel the guy no too sabi and you be the rugged type like me, na soldiers we dey take treat their f**k up. |

Do it legally , even when the issue get out of hand you can arrest him and then charge him to court. So. Let the lawyer write hime quit notice. And give him 3months not 6months cos he is owin. Normally he should pay for the rent he has default too both nepa bill and other bills.. Get a lawyer to do that wont cost you much. Better you write others too for warning and caution they will adjust there ways. Thanks.. 3 Likes |

Starboytwo:you need a lawyer since the tenant has refused to corporate with you. And he needs not to be given quite notice that's if it's true that he didn't pay since 2018, all he needs is 7 days notice of owners intention to recover possession. If he fails to pack out after the 7 days then you have to proceed to court. So it's better you approach a lawyer. 11 Likes |

Starboytwo: Sorry I did not read your story. Just responding to the headline. Start coughing profusely behind his window and every time you jam inside compound. The second day pick your phone and start calling an imaginary friend confiding in him that you have Corona virus that you've been to the hospitals and you are receiving treatment already. ( God forbid Corona won't near your dwelling place na prank) Later pick one of his things outside and go and give him. Bucket or cloth anything just being a good neighbor. He will dash you that thing. The guy may pack out within days. Tested and trusted in Lagos. 2 Likes |

Get a decent Lawyer (not charge and bail) that funny tenant will be out under two weeks. One of our did that stuff once, he didn't even know when court people came to dislodge him, he went to work as usual that morning but had to cut things short. He carried load that day o. Another one even more painful was super rich. Be comes and goes overseas and bases there for most of the year, but pay rent not up to one week chop money in London, he will not pay. The day court people came for him, he was absolutely not prepared for it. 5 Likes |

I think you should tell all the tenants in the house that you want to renovate the house and you are giving them 6 months to pack out of the house. |
Re: Our Tenant Hasn't Paid Rent Since 2018, What Can I Do? by Nobody: 1:53pm On Mar 17, 2020 |
Wake up, this is 2020. All it takes is to walk into a law firm and ask to speak with a lawyer and you will get a sound legal advice on what to do and how to go about it. Second drastic option, sell of the house along with those in it. ( Dad once used this option when I was still a teen as a result of the tenants from hell we once had who actually felt it was their entitlement not to pay for their accrued rents and after all diplomatic measures failed then the house was sold off along with its occupants and the new owner gave them a few months to evacuate which they all did even before the time frame from the new owner elapsed). Option 1 is your best route for now. Best of luck. |

[quote author=Starboytwo post=87511311]Good day all, We have a tenant who has refused to pay rent since 2018, he only promised to pay and always defaults everytime... What are the steps I need to take to get the rents or preferably reclaim the room he occupies? There is a seemingly Big void as nobody takes any action since my Father passed (landlord) i.e, tenants civil enough do pay their rent to my eldest brother who lives far away but some like the tenants in question take advantage and do not like to pay... Can I write a "Notice to Quit" and deliver it to him in person, or must I entrust a lawyer? If I notify him about quitting the room, is he qualified for the 6 month the law prescribe... I need tips on how to handle this situation... |

These remind me of those days about my landlady. When your rent is due and you did not come pay,she will not even disturb you. She will just call her carpenter to remove your zincs. Na you go tire for the matter. 2 Likes |

Starboytwo:Where is the location? I can be of help! No need for Quit Notice yet. We will sue him for recovery of rent arrears, once we get judgment, we will eject him in the process of executing the order. Giving him Quit Notice will linger the matter. Now perfect my brief and we shall commence with processes. 2 Likes |
