Kill him now. Just joking. Contact one of this charge and bail lawyers. They know how they do it, they will just sue him to court without serving him. On the hearing date, they will arrange for someone that will stand as the debtor and will plead guilty to all charges. The judge will give judgment and u will proceed to the place immediately to effect the judgement. Try this and thank me later. Simple. 2 Likes |

Some tenants get craze oo. To build now is not a joke. The cost of Land,foundation, blocks, roofing, ties, sliding window, burglary doors, finishing are huge. If you have property outside Lagos, pH, abuja and kano, you can not get your returns back after 30yrs. The only advantage is that at old age, you can have some returns to keep body, soul and spirit. Get a lawyer and tell him to backdate whatever he plan to serve them. Wicked people everywhere 2 Likes 1 Share |

Where is your location? Its important because people from certain location are really difficult and dangerous to handle. Back to the matter, I had the same issues with a tenant in 2017, I went to the Court and issued him 7 days notice which was served by the Court. He came and pleaded to make a deal with me, I agreed and gave him some time to pay off, but before the time he packed out without my notice and left. The court had to issue him another notice to payoff his debt or risk loosing his properties like his car and other valuables. He got scared and started paying small small. Never mind, I made it clear by my action to the court guys that they have their cut in the money, that was how they were the ones mounting pressure on him until my money was recovered. They seriously wanted seizing his belongings which I had to stop them. So just try the court and see, if he's not a dubious person, hell get scared on seeing court papers 2 Likes |

Leezah:My friend took a duplex in vgc The landlord was a builder. He builds houses in lekki and sells them. And we were solar power installers. My friend went into a contract with this man to power his three houses for a price. They agrees he will pay when he has sold the houses. But it was taking too long to sell, then they agreed that my friend will move into his house for the amount he was supposed to pay. It was a five bedroom duplex and my friend was owing me 400k at the time. So he said I could take one room for the money he owed me. Along the line we became lonely in the compound. It was too big for us, so we decided to sublet the other rooms, the bq and the gate house because the landlord wasn't around. I was the one who provided the agent and the agent brought tenants. We did our best interviewing the proposed tenants to be sure they were all good guys. Unluckily for us, the lady who took the bq who said she was doing her MSC in unilag and had a boutique, turned out to be prostitute. She was virtually turning the compound to an attraction site for men. And news reached the landlord that his property has been converted to another use. He then came with a document they signed. Dude didn't see the part where subletting was not allowed. It was a police case. We were ordered to refund all the tenants and evacuate the facility. Our water bill in vgc was accumulating because a pipe was leaking. The landlord locked the gates of the house one morning with police while we were inside. Later they allowed us come put but not with any thing of ours pending when we paid the accumulated water bill. I had all I had acquired in Lagos inside that house. Laptop, inverter, TV air cooler all my clothes and even documents for a land I was paying instalments for. When I left there empty handed, I was distraught. No where to begin. I even slept in cell because some tenants arrested us. It took over two years before I got money again to go pay that boll and get my things. But then when I called him. He said someone else took the house and he cannot account for the things that were inside. I just counted my losses and moved on with life. 2 Likes |

Your house is carrying bad luck and people around your house are also bad luck how are we going to live in someone’s house and I can’t be able to pay house rent that is bad oooo I will find way to run. Cut the light remove the roof is the best option just tell them that you want to renovate your house and if it’s upstairs people in ground floor just two load of sands will do it block everywhere....

Starboytwo: Since his tenancy expired in 2018, you don't need to serve him a quit notice. All you need to do is serve him a 7-day notice (technically known as the 7 Days Notice to Recover Premises) informing the tenant of your intention to recover your property. The 7-day notice starts reading on the day after you served it. For instance, if you serve your tenant the 7-day notice today, you start counting the days from tomorrow. If after the 7-day notice and the tenant is still occupying your property, then you would need a lawyer to help you institute an action against the tenant in any magistrate or high court in your jurisdiction. That is, the said court must be or cover the area in which your property is situated. 3 Likes |

Shezkid01: Calm yourself down. I'm not a landlord YET. But I have a colleague who is a lawyer so he knows the law. He had to go extreme with his his tenants. Because they were troublesome, refused to pay rent and disturbed other tenants. Go to court now. As long as the court ha nor ruled they will stay in your house for free. And knowing Nigeria, who knows how long the court will delay |

Starboytwo:Get a lawyer ASAP and instruct the lawyer to serve him a Notice To Quit through the courts. It's a long process, but the earlier you start the better. Also have it in mind that it may drag on in court for a long time. |
