I dont know why many people here are so poor with simple mathematics.

@op your rent expires 17-04-2020 and not in march as a yearly tenant.

Same thing happened to me just last month. Paid and packed in march 29 2019, landlord called me feb 28 2020 that my rent has expired and i politely told him that my rent expires march 28 as a yearly tenant and he simple told me he is sorry for the mixed up and i eventually paid him march 25 to avoid any issue.

Mind you, i base in abuja and my landlord works with federal court of appeal abuja.

Your rent expires 17/03/2020 and he is correct and there is more to this. That’s exactly 12month

Some nairalanders are inherently dense. January 1st 00:00 to December 31st 23:59 is what makes a calendar year. You have less than a millisecond interval before you get to January of the next year.

A rent starting 18 April will see expiration on 17th April of the following year. Whereas one starting 1st April will expire 31st March of you next year.

No one has the right to self help. Even if you are in arrears or owes rent of 10 years, your Landlord do not have the right to lock you apartment. Doing so makes him liable in damages.
If truly, your rent was paid on the 18th of April 2019, then your rent will fall due on the 17th of April 2020.
Unless their is an agreement between you and your Landlord, he cannot successfully evict you without giving you the statutory 6 months notice.
Rest assured, your Landlord cannot evict you but only reacting to the frustration ocassioned by the lockdown.

Your landlord is correct, April to March = 12 months
April to April =13months

My Landlord Is Intimidating Me And Wants To Evict Me Before My Rent Expires

I paid my house rent for one full year on 18/04/2019. My rent is due to expire on 17/04/2020.

But my Landlord is insisting it expired on 17/03/2020. Which is Eleven months. I have tried explaining to him but he wants to lock me out unless I pay immediately.

Please how do I get redress.

TheKingIsHere:


Stop saying what you don't know. That is 11 months not 12 months..



@brownsugardr don't agree to the dubious landlord. Your rent is to expire in April not March..Also, if he wants you to move out, he must give you at least 6 months grace before you can be moved out.

Know your rights and get a lawyer ready should in case he wants to misbehave

Really sorry saying this your landlord is right but on fraudulent level because he played a fast one on
you,your eagerness to secure the house made you fall victim, you should have insisted on waiting till end of the month,your landlord counts 18th to 30th =12 days. 12 days to the landlord is month gone from your rent.. In nutshell he cheated you.

Even if it remains 1month to pay, don’t you have the rent already. Find half payment Give am, for this corona you cannot come and rent my house and be challenging me. I always strive to make sure I pay my house rents at least 3 months before it expires. Accommodation is not something I joke with

17March - April is 12months

Pay your rent man! Even if you have the money to pay , is it wise paying before the due date? You give the impression that you gat enough money. Some greedy, lazy landlords can capitalize on that to fleece you. The corona virus you mentioned should be an excuse for tenants not for landlords .

iamimohtal:

The counting Starts from may, is very simple from April to may makes it one month and then if you continue counting like that it will take march to April to make it the 12 months. For instance it takes January 1st 2 December 31st to make a year so in this case your rent is supposed to expire a day before the date u paid
