What is Your Worst Experience with a Tenant?

As there are terrible experiences with landlords there are also terrible experiences with tenants. Today i will like to share a worst experience with a tenant.

My dad happens to be a landlord so we have met alot of tenants.

There was a stubborn tenant that rented a 3 bedroom flat worth 300k. He told my dad he will pay 250k now when he has the remaining he will pay. That's when the notoreity started. The tenant refused to pay the 50k, despite my dad's constant reminder.

When his rent expires he said he will soon pay that he needs more time, that he wants to pay everything at once. The next time my dad ask him, he said he is in financial crises all this was while i was in school. When i came back for end of semester break i still heard that the man hasn't paid his rent. I began pressuring my dad to collect this rent, the tenant has spent over 5months without paying a dime. My dad said the man lost his uncle and went for burial recently. Thats when i realize he has been given excuse to my dad for a very long time.

After sometimes i told my dad not to allow the man stay one more month without paying. My dad threaten to bring the police and take him to court. The man blocked my dad number, then my dad called him with another number when he picked and discover it was my dad he claim he didnt see my dad's initial call that he was sick. The man then switched off his phone.

We decided to go to meet the man together with a lawyer but he was not around. I placed a 2month notice and that he must pay for the months he has stayed in the house. After a week the man called with a new number pleading that he should not be evicted. He asked for my dad's account number so that he will pay. The man send 50k only. My dad told him he just completed his last year rent and will have to pay for the current year. The man refused. After the two months my dad changed the door lock thereby preventing him from getting inside even though his stuffs are inside.

After a month, a woman from the Neighborhood told my dad that the man we evicted is still living in the house. He usually comes in late at around 11-12pm and goes out around 7am. The next day we arrived there few minutes past 6 but the man has already gone. We discover that he changed the lock to the house. We end up confiscating all his properties and emptied his room. Till today he is yet to be found.

I have others stories about other tenants but i will love to hear your story. Over to you.

You ended up confiscating someone's property without a legal notice.
Pray you don't end up turning to the one that is doing the begging later.
We must always learn to do things the lawful way.

To be be land lord for Nigeria na big problem, where do I start abi na the ones when dey owe one year plus house rent, the ones wen they use madness disguised as prayer dey terrorise other tenants, the ones when hate to pay light bill, the ones wen they mismanage the property etc in summary you need to be very formal and strict when dealing with Nigerian tenants or they will mop the floor with you.

There is one that left after overstaying, he still owes N60K which he promised to pay but this is the third year and he is no where to be found. Another one destroyed the entire property, even blocked the borehole with stone because her boyfriend/maga is a custom officer, same person is a prostitute, I discovered most of the police officers in that district have ridden her so she thinks she is covered. The woman destroyed everything down to WC, packed her things but still held the key until the last day of the quit notice. Although I got her arrested, I learned that her boyfriends (police officer) didn't allow her spend the night in police custody. I got her to sign that she will buy back my water pump which she stole but after accessing the entire damage done, it was too late and she had bolted. The current one can't pay N2000K monthly light bill for the past 7 months, how will he pay his next rent?
I had this kind of tenant what I did was buy prepaid meter for everyone story end till date. All your tenants should sign an agreement from a good law firm when they see it they will know this landlord no dey joke.

Re: What Is Your Worst Experience With A Tenant? by LabDNA:
One of my tenants thinks she can manipulate me by sending her daughter to bring me food whenever I enter the city.

I have my own apartment in my building in another city while I travel frequently to other states to check up my businesses.

Whenever I come around, she'll send her daughter who always wear skimpy dress to come bring me food. I just give them bread but decline their own food.

The husband lives in Dubai but the woman sleeps around and even pimps her daughter sometimes.

Enter any relationship with that one, your name na sorry, she go turn landlady overnight.

This stubborn woman tenant started selling herbal medicine (Agbo) which graduated into cigarette which I cautioned her but told me that's where she will make the money to feed her daughters and pay rent. She was evicted afterwards but she rented a shop beside our compound from a very foolish landlord and now she has become dealer in weed, attract cult guys and battling it out with the whole community now. She repeated the same statement to the CDA.

OP, you are an amateur. Your dad probably have experienced life as a tenant hence his hesitation

Only in Nigeria where the government claim to be serving the people will minimum wage be N30,000 per month and tents N250,000-N500,000 undecided

Buba Marwa, Fashola really tried to save the masses from, the çluches of crazy landlord bills

Now there's no job, where other countries are giving out huge palliative, Nigerians are expected to pay build, from whathuh

Them go stealhuh

I wish this government will wake up from their slumber and re-visit this issue!!!

These are issues/laws worth giving attention to!!!
