Mama4dworld:
Hello everyone... please advice me.

My landlord is ignoring me.

My house is leaking.... very very badly. I have complained to him on several occasions and he has done absolutely nothing about it.
I have been experiencing this issue since the rain started this year.

And this man doesn't give a damn about it.

When it rains everywhere will be soaked.

NB: I moved in during the dry season last year. This is something I wouldn't have known.

What can I do...I really want him to pay for this...it is sincerely not fair...the worst part of everything is...he doesn't care.

What can I do??

The gentleman way: If you like the area, you can borrow money and fix the leak, keep the receipt and then extend your tenancy period until you recupe your cost.

The ruggedy way: Lease the services of a military recruit or some NDA boys on vacation. They'll organise their boys, pay the landlord a visit and give him an all-body massage.

The occultic way: Organise some chicken feathers with some red cloth and red paint and arrange it in front of landlord's domot. Tell him that the next time your roof leaks, his nyash will leak kelebe until he fixes your roof

Thank you dear people.

Apparently I had speaking with the Developer of the house and not the Landlord himself.

So this Developer's contract is almost over and he doesn't want to incure any cost, that is why he has been reluctant with the issue.

For clarity purposes:

1) I live in a self contained and my rent is N170k.
2) The estimate given to me by the carpenter I called for assessment was for the entire house of 11 rooms (he wasn't very clear when I asked from the beginning) I thought the estimate was for just my room.
PS: ALL THE ROOMS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

RESOLUTION:
We have agreed to contribute and repair the roof and the cost will deducted from our rent.

Also for those saying he should repair the roof and deduct the cost from his rent, or OP should meet a lawyer to write to the landlord.. You guys think the landlord is a fool? If you threaten the landlord or someone like me with such, then mine lawyer would write you, informing you that, since you saying the roof is leaking, then I would give you a quit notice, indicating that the quit notice is for me the landlord to do a proper maintainance in my house, but if you choose to stay and repair the room, its going to be at your own cost.

Know court would punish me for giving you a quite notice because my reasons would be justified. So OP thread with caution.

Cheers.

I agree with you on this, this one is a real mind game.
