Landlord Collected My Money Over Two Months And Refused Me To Move In by Zealoy(m): 1:14pm On Nov 06, 2020
Hello Nlanders am having This serious issues which has been bothering me for long now, please ignore my typos cuz am not gud in writing,

I saw an advert on jiji about a one room self contained to let here in Lagos State ojo local government area to be precise, so I placed a call to the person he asked me to come and see the house, after inspecting the house i was so skeptical about the place honestly my mind did accept it but my friend persuaded me to make the payment,

After i made d payment the landlord said I should wait for about 2weeks to enable him do some renovation which I agreed,

It has been over 2months now anytime I asked him if I should move into the huz he gives me some fremzy excuses that he is having issue with the local government about permit to continue d renovations,

Pls guys what should I do cause am suspecting he scammed me of my money, am thinking about getting him arrested but honestly don't know how to go about it, pls guys here is his brothers number I will like u guys to call him threatening him to pay me back my money or allow me move into the house i paid for

Really ? Are you seriously kidding me? Did Jiji scam him? Is Jiji the landlord? Or is Jiji the agent ? Or Did he pay to Jiji?

Common! In this age and century? You are still thinking and commenting this way? Oga o

Before I can advise you on what to do, let me ask you some questions first.

1. Did the landlord give you any receipt ?
2. How much did you pay for rent and also total package ?
3. Who’s account did you pay to and your mode of payment?
4. While inspecting the place, did you enter the house and did you see any sign of someone still living there?

yeah he gave me receipt, I paid #100k for the total package, the account I paid in the money was the landlords account and I paid the money through transfer, the house was empty when I inspected the house

If you know a friend who is a lawyer, engage him or her, but you shouldn't have paid without him giving you receipt and the keys of the house.
