I just dey watch you since!
I been think, if this man is this generous to those in need, then he deserves a good Karma.
The thing is when you are doing good/bad and no one says anything, you never know they are observing and storing it in 'memory'.
It is always good to encourage good people and that is the way l see life.

Cheers Sir.

Have you considered using a Bio-Digester type Solution?

One the 11th Month, you should issue the Quit Notice, so that its expiry date coincides with the end-date of the Lease.
For an "Annual Rental", you should issue the Quit notice to end with such date too, six months earlier, as that is the requirement of the Law.

Yes, LEASE are inline with tenancy Laws in Nigeria. It is just a type of tenancy.
It can be fixed or even fixed Certain.

Its very simple
Do all the inner plastering and just frame for the sliding windows for now.

Later external plastering and remaining part of the windows I.e glass and net will follow when pepper red again.

soonest:
Pay deposit for window. By God's grace before they finish, money will come

Either way you go is one milestone done and unto the next, however few notes:

- why do you need stone dust for plastering? keep it simple and use plaster sand as per normal and no effizzy sturvs if you're building on budget... that's 40k off.
- how big is the project? that will determine if you can still knock something off the plastering labor without compromising
- note that even if you go for windows options, you'll still need some sand + cement + labor to install and dress it unless you don't plan to install it yet.

If i were you, i'll go for plastering simply because you can squeeze out value from your materials to get the job done (e.g. you can plaster non-critical areas without guage whih will reduce your material consumption) whereas the rates for the windows are fixed since that's a procurement.

Either way you go, that's one checked off.
All the best.

For you Sir and some Elders here, anything is "done", on request.






Thanks Sir, to everyone who took their time to read such boring epistle, l myself will hate to be given something that lenghty to read.
So, l applaud you for your patience.

I have the hard copy with me but am looking for the Digital copy l kept on a USB stick, so l can edit it by removing personal information like my address and other personal stuffs. I cant make it public without such edit.
Please bear with me, for some time.

BUYERS BEWARE OF SCAMMER WITH USER NAME - DFAMEGUY11S

Rent/Lease Agreements are generally unique to the environment, building or the parties involved but l will in due course, edit my own to remove speicifc, persoanl details, to make it suitable for general usage and share.

Nothing is "automatic" in tenancy matters. It is all about process and procedures, based on the Law.
Afer the 30days/One Month "Quit Notice" has expired (You dont need this One Month 'Quit Notice' in a Lease, except like me, you deliberately put it there because you are a very considerate person), the Lessor/Landlord serves a Seven-Days "Notice of Intention to Retrieve Property".
At the expiration of this Seven days Notice, that is when the Lessor/Landlord applies to the Court, for an Order to Evict Tenant.
Only the Court can grant that Order! But it is kind of fast-tracked, with a 'Lease', compared to, with a 'Rent'.

Note: You can no longer evict Tenants with the brute use of Force (except ofcourse with correct Juuju ), as was the case in the pre-Y2000 and the law is actually mor eprotective of the tenant, than the House Owner and a House owner needs to be smart and one step ahead, if you dont want Tenants to make a mockery of you (and most will, if they have the opportunity).

BTW, l am expecting the House Agents, Property Managers and the likes, to contribute to this discussion, since they are regularly and currently dealing with such issues, being their line of Work! Wetin dey happen naa?

The Court will consider first and foremost, your Lease/Rent Agreement between the Tenant and the House Owner.
Reason is that the Court will enforce the terms of such Agreements, because it is a 'valid' Contract.
But where such Agreement does not exists, the Court will apply the Tenancy Laws of the State where the building is.

If all the t's and i's have been crossed and dotted, the Court will issue an Order, asking the Tenant to move out immediately, having exhausted all Legal Notices (30days, 7days) to Quit.
(That is the Law. This is not "Mediation", which is like trying to find an amicable settlement, usually on Rent Increase issues, as the bone of contention).
If the Tenant is owing Rent at this point where an Ejection order has been issued, the Court, on the "aplication and proof" by the Landlord, the will award such amount, termed Mesne Profit, to the Landlord, to cover the period used in the house while prosecuting the Ejection Matter (while the tenant was not paying further rent)
Some tenant errorneously still think that once you issue them a Quit Notice, they dont have to pay Rent and House has become free!
Well, unless the Landlord does not know how to go about it, Tenant is only saving the money for the Landlord and hpefully, tenant will have the Money when the Court orders payment otherwise, the Court Baillif will have to sieze tenant's property and Auction it to recover such amount



"Notice to Quit" Period, if delivered VALIDLY (this is where the trouble usually lies) is ADEQUATE TIME required and adjudged by Law, for the Occupier to look for alternative accomodation.
That is why it is called a "Notice" but if a tenant decides to ignore it, they do so at their own peril.

Also, in a LEASE (not the usual 'Rent' that appears subsisting in tenancy), the occupier already knows, from the signing of the Lease as he moves in, the terms of surrendering the Keys, as per the Lease agreement. That is more than enough time to plan and decide to get alternative accomodation, if that were the real issue.
Thus, such plea for "adequate time to look for alternative accomodation", in the eyes of the Law, "after the facts".
No time is ever adequate for a tenant who does not want to leave and l have seen the Court Bailiff, based on a Court order, throw tenants belongings out on the Street, for this. In the past (Pre- Tenancy laws), tenants are often using this to buy more time and frsutrate the house owner, but not anymore! (People still use it in "Debt" issues and that is understandable, "you cant pay money you dont have". )

Also, "Agreements" is general, when freely entered into, are bound to be enforced at Law, as long as that agreement is not in conflict with general law.
Now, one of the advantages of a Lease comes into play here! Let me illustrate with an example.
A Lease Agreement is svery specific (Just as you can lease a Vehicle from a Company but when the time to return it lapse (as per the Agreement you signed with the Leasing Company) and you dont return it, if the Compnay catches you along Abuja-Kaduna highway, with your family inside that Vehicle, they would be right and within the Law to take possession of their Vehicle............. irrespective of the "sentiments" of leaving you stranded on the highway.
The Law is the Law, an Ass, but blind to emotions and sentiments.

The lease Agreement you both entered into (being voluntary, clear to understanding and acceptable to both parties through their accent of signatures) has SPECIFIED the conditions for surrender of the property, initiated by either the Lessor (House Owner) or the Lessee (Tenant).
All the Court is doing is enforcing such Private Agreement, between two contracting parties, the Court is not in the business of looking at the emotional or sentimental sides of the defaulting Party, sheddng (crocodile) tears and asking for time.
Same way, if a Landlord for example, breaches the law by removing the Roof to the tenant's apartment, the Law will not say he is an aged Pensioner and therefore overlook the punishment he deserves! Jail time straight, if he cannot cough out the fine.

I have gone to all these length to illustrate that a Lease is a structured Agreement between the Lessor and the Lessee and once done properly, the Courts will enforce it to the letter.
But l must caution, there are hoops and traps (legal technicalities) in agreements, Notices and the Law in general, a small infraction of the law (for example, if the agreement is not properly signed, not witnessed, not stamped dutied (since June 2020), notice period shorter than specified/allowed, date-mismatch, etc) can invalidate an effort to get rid of the erring occupier, despite following all other procedures, the Curt will throw-away your application, so caution is the word.

I hope this clarifies that aspect.
l also hope our Professional Agents, Property Managers, Estate Lawyers/Managers will share their own experiences here.
