Good day nairalanders,
Apologies for disturbing everyone, but I really need help and assistancec on how to go about this issue.
Yesterday while I was at work my mom called me that one her Tennant whom she leased her two shops to called the police to arrest her just because she took another container close to the shops.
The police man came yesterday and said the DPO wanted to speak with mom, but she wasn't comfortable with the arrangement and with the help of the neighbors and people around they she didnt follow them.
This issue started when my mom decided to build a container in front of our house right beside the shops she leased, but the tenant who got the leased claimed my mom had no right to do that citing that it's conflicting and would disturb the shops he leased.

My dad had to call him since my mom was the only one at home and he told him he will deal with her.

Please nairalanders kindly assist on how to go about this matter as we would like to involve the police and also terminate the agreement we had with the Tennant.

The truth lies in whether the container will truelly affect the customers earnings. If in your eyes and view the customer won't be inconvenienced then your mom shouldn't have qualms honoring the police invitation with her "clear conscience". The desire for more rent money shouldn't make her create problems for people she is already in contract with. It's called civility. Your mom might have infringed on the appurtenances of the shop she leased. I am not a lawyer anyway. Just seeing it from pov of what is right and wrong. Landlordship is not Godship.

The container is in no way creating any inconvenience to the shops. And besides we had an agreement and the agreement is solely based on the shops he leased, thank you for your input I also need to know if theirs Any penalty to be paid as we would like to terminate the agreement

Just a quick one, what if my my mom now decides to build another shop are you now saying she doesn't have a right to in her own house?

I'm just saying

I think a lawyer is in better position to size up the situation and give a more balanced advice. I am not one. So let me not "come and do pass my sef".
Go talk to any lawyer around you and get things done right. Cheers
