April to April makes it 13 month
Your landlord is right

This thread has proven that many are educated yet they are still illiterates.

No wonder people are quick to believe conspiracy theories and propaganda, even when facts available show the contrary, they still arrogantly hold on to their ignorance.

How can a 1year rent that starts on 18 April be due before 17 April of the following year?

Those who are calculating March as 12 months interval are indeed April fools.

What are you people even saying... How can u say the landlord is wrong. You paid your rent in April so there it starts counting in the month of April.
See April 2019 as 1 month.
May 2019- 2 month.
June 2019- 3 month.
July 2019- 4 month.
Aug 2019- 5 month.
Sep 2019- 6 month.
OCT 2019- 7 month.
Nov 2019- 8 month.
Dec 2019- 9 month.
Jan 2020- 10 month.
Feb 2020- 11 month.
Mar 2020- 12 month.
Mr Man stop looking for trouble go n pay your rents... Don't allow some nairalanders put you in trouble, na you go suffer am o.

@OP your landlord is right while you are wrong.

A calendar year is January - December not January - Jamuary

If you paid rent in April 2019, you next rent will be in March 2020.

Birthdays are different for those using beer parlour logic above.

Lol..let me ask you a question bro...
If you pay rent in April 2019..
u said your next rent will be March 2020..right?,
That means when you pay the next rent in March 2020..your next rent will be February 2021
Then next rent will be January 2022
And next rent will be December 2022

Can you see you're the one using beer palour analysis?
A year is January 1 - December 31 NOT
January 1 - December 1...if you do like this..you've missed 30days and 30days is a month.
So if you pay rent on January 1 2019...your next payment is December 31 2020...1 day interval.
So if OP pays a rent on April 18, 2019... His next day payment is April 17, 2020..1 day interval

FIDELITY24:

See April 2019 as 1 month..

You can not see April as one month when he paid on April 18.
April is 30 days. And he paid on 18..
30-18 is 12...he paid for only 12 days in April.
See my analysis above

It’s counted month ending for sure but if it’s april it’s end march.

FuckAllTheMODs:


For your mind you sabi maths now.

Op didn't pay on the first of that month, so it's assumed that he moved in mid-month or ending, which means the reading will start from the following month or it will start on the day he paid and it will expire on the day before that.

Even if you're saying he should go with month, it will still be month ending not middle of the month...

BarrElChapo:


He very much can evict the tenant without the statutory six months notice.

I disagree with you. From the illustration, it is a yearly tenancy which can only be determined or brought to an end by a valid quit notice which in this case is the statutory quit notice (6 months).
Section 8 and 9 recovery of premises Act.

Aystarz:
Chai NLanders Don cast oo. So most of una still dey live with your parents! Because if una dey pay rent, you go know say the Op's Landlord is in the right. The Op probably too never rented an apartment before until recently.

If you dey pay rent and u claim the landlord is right, sorry for u

carbon1224:
The law doesn’t state it should be used free please see a lawyer to enlighten you more on it.

Yes, I have done that and it helped a lot. But not completely and cost so much

In Lagos omonile is as powerful as the law, if not more, and the LGAs are omonile on steroids... Jezz!
The tenants with voting powers are their friends not the landlords.
Report a landlord once and he'll bleed money for months

I now have a pre-signed agreements with all new tenants
3 months tops after last payment expire and then you must move

Works for me now

samwash:
This op, you go school at all
Did u paid for 13 months or 12 months ?
Pple like una go blem other pple for una own error

let me teach you, 1st Jan to 31st December is one year right? Yes of cus it is.

Why then would 18th April 2019 to 17th April 2020 not be one year? Is it not 365 days? Do the math

@brownsugardr
Most rent agreements are signed for 11 months so that they can avoid stamp duty and other charges. According to the Registration Act, 1908, the registration of a lease agreement is mandatory if the leasing period is more than 12 months. If an agreement is registered, stamp duty and registration fee needs to be paid for it.
That's why the tenancy agreement initially reads 11 months, while subsequent payments will read 12 months. Which means that the moment you pay in March, you'd continue to pay in March until you decide to leave the house. Please, your landlord is right. Cheers.

Hahaha so subsequent one will be in February and next in January and next in December abi? Until you get to paying rent again same day you paid . You people are too funny and hard to teach someone explained it up there but u wont read. I must type

Ed12:


January to December makes a year.

And not January to January!

Did you factor in the date? What's the different between 31st December 2019 and 1st January 2020?

If the man is claiming 1 year, how many days in a year? Is that not 365 days?

Now let's count with days

AllforJesus7:


Are you saying he moves in in April but will not pay the rent for April?

This is too simple a maths to stress oneself over but I guest I have to do this right now.


His rent covered the following months below;

April 19
May 19
June 19
July 19

Aug 19
Sept 19
Oct 19
Nov 19

Dec 19
Jan 20
Feb 20
March 20


There you have it. 12 months ends in March.

He moved into the house in April and has to pay the rent for April so you start counting from April.


I hope you fully understand now.

Good luck.

LOL... How many days make a month? Oga count 365 days if it is difficult for you to count months correctly

When did you start paying your own rent sef?

Go and learn how to calculate before disgracing yourself here.

My previous place, I paid on January 15th when I moved in, I was served a paper that my rent will expire on the 14th of January with 7 days grace to decide if I want to renew it or move out.

Say what you know, don't say what you don't know...

Rent rate is 12 months(365/366 days) i.e January 1st to December 31st or April 17th to April 16th in Op's case...

The issue is op should have discussed it with him, he can still clear things out with a lawyer.

You need to work on your manners son.. you don't go around throwing insults to prove a point. Use your number six

In tenacy agreements I have seen, you are to renew prior to exact date you paid your first rent except you don't plan to renew.

You should work on your manners too ancestor, since you go about accusing others of using beer palour logic.

@ the emboldened, now tell me which day in the next year comes exactly prior to 18th April of the previous year.

pk2me:
You are not sure of what you are saying,, i have been paying my rent for the past 12yrs and i have lived in 3 different apartments.
I usually paid my rents from January 3rd -7th and once it's December of the same year my lawyer will bring a reminder notice for me to pay my rent latest 15th January.

Actually the guy you quoted is right.. if you pay on say 8th Feb, the tenacy agreement will read .. renew by 8th Jan next year.

Funny enough, I see no biggie in making payment for your accommodation. I for one like to delay deliberately till after the exact day I made my previous payment.

Because it ain't. April 1st to March 31st is one calendar year

As a batch C 2014 youth corp member, we started our orientation camp on the 4th of November 2014 and we rounded up our service on the 3rd of October 2015, which is exactly 1 year. A year is January to December and not December to December.
So your landlord is correct.

Chai, your school ought to withdraw your certificate.
So many half educated fellow on this platform
Check the date your Nysc certificate,

Your counting is wrong bro. From your demonstration, he is supposed to be on his 11th-month by 18/03/2020

femi4:
18/04/2019-18/05/2019.....1month
18/05/2019-18/06/2019.....2months

Count like that

.
18/02/2020-18/03/2020.......12months

Your landlord is right

April 1st 2019 to April 1st 2020 is 12 months and 1 day.


April 1st 2019 to April 31st 2020 is 13 months.

carbon1224:




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

Confident olodo

Bluehill1051:
Olodo! Why haven't you been celebrating your birthday one month earlier. Fool.

Lol. So many mathematical fools these days

You contradicting yourself ! Landlord is very wrong !
@op Do not give in into his threat , he probably has been cheating other tenant.

This is the same Nairaland people seek advice yet ordinary maths some persons are saying one month earlier is correct

So much confidence for an olodo person.

People like you write exam confidently and wonder why you did not pass.

To help you,

Jan 1st - Dec 31st - 1 year (365 days)

April 18 - April 17 - 1 year (365 days)

There you have it. 12 months ends in March.

He moved into the house in April and has to pay the rent for April so you start counting from April.


I hope you fully understand now.

Good luck.

You're the one that needs to understand the maths not him...


January 1st to December 31st = 12 months (365/366 days)

Now, in Op's case, he moved in on 19th of April so his rent should expire on the 18th of April... his rent didn't start from the first day of the month, so his rent ought to expire a day before the day he paid the previous year i.e 12 full months or 365/366 days.

brownsugardr:
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.

you’re landlord is correct, your rent has expired bro. You can only plead with him to give you time to wrap up, April to March is the correct circle another month makes it 13th month count yourself

femi4:
Continue displaying your ignorance

You're guilty of what you're accusing others of

1 year tenancy period equals 365 days

Assuming your tenancy commenced on 1/04/2019 it would expire on 31/3/2020, that's 365 days, but because 2020 is a leap year, one extra day (February 29th) is added. But in every year not a leap year, it's 365 days.

That's how it's calculated
