Can you guys buy wire and ask to be connected to a different line and your landlord on another line? Don't wait for 'nepa' to come to the house, go to their office and discuss a way out with them. |

@ op Honestly you are the cause of the problem . In Abuja one of the things you must watch out for is; Make sure there is NO pending or outstanding utility bill to be paid Make sure you don't believe landlord or agent saying it will be fix as soon as possible ( it may takes years bro) Even if you tell him to give you your balance that you are moving out, Abuja landlord will NOT WICKED SET OF PEOPLE |

All of you should move out make only the landlord live for the entire house. |

and from what I heard he was the one who kept refusing to pay the bills whenever it was given to him by past tenants and hence it accumulated. If what you stated above is true then, I will suggest you people call a meeting, including the landlord. He will tell you people when he will clear the bill in the shortest period of time and install meter as well. If he comes up that his usual ranting, tell him that you people will offset the bill and install a meter and then the total amount will shared among the tenants and it will be deducted from the rent amount every tenant will pay for the following year. He will fix because he wouldn't want his rent money to be reduced from what it's supposed to be But ensure all your tenants except the landlord knows this suggestion and is in agreement before you call for the meeting. I stay in Abuja too, and I don't think your landlord is a weirdo more than mine. But this suggestion worked for us. The werey man didn't only install meter when we gave him the heat, he also dug a borehole. So far we've been enjoying our life |

ikechukwu21:Your situation demands that you guys really need to get more involved to sort it out. First, visit the PHCN headquarters in charge. Get to know how much is needed to reconnect you guys. Get the landlord to know about you guys movement and ask him to provide the money. If he doesn't have the money get the police for him to write agreement that if three of you provide the money, it will be deducted from the monthly rent. |

My advice, collect your balance and pack out. If I advise you go pay the bills yourself, what about that of other tenants? |
| Re: Our Landlord Is Torturing Us by boldx(m): 5:34pm On Feb 27, 2021 |
I experienced exactly the same thing. Get a prepaid meter asap and tell the NEPA officials at the main office to program the account outstanding balance into the meter account. What your compound owes, 50k is actually very small. Ours was about N290,000. For every N2000 you recharge, they take about 25% or so to service your debt and you will enjoy light. Please get a NEPA meter asap. They said meter i's free but you know Naija nah. |

| Re: Our Landlord Is Torturing Us by Tmlivesport(m): 5:36pm On Feb 27, 2021 |
SpecialAdviser:Funny. I wish you are in Abuja The best thing is to either ask other neighbors to contribute to offset the bill or just count it as a loss and move out |
| Re: Our Landlord Is Torturing Us by pozehnani(f): 5:37pm On Feb 27, 2021 |
Get a personal prepaid meter. |
| Re: Our Landlord Is Torturing Us by Tmlivesport(m): 5:40pm On Feb 27, 2021 |
boldx:Single face in Abuja now is around 40,000 sir The compound is indebted to the tune of 50,000 Which is more economical considering the op isn't that financially bouyant |

ikechukwu21:my #1 rule in house hunting; never live in the same compound with the owner of the house. look for another accommodation. |

ikechukwu21:wait for the six months or look for someone that will rent the remaining months from you .. or you guys can collectively as a compound sue the Landord to court , forget police , the court makes the decision by force for the landlord, just contribute as a compound and involve a lawyer .. |

ikechukwu21:You guys should try contribute and pay the outstanding or part of it gradually.... it's just 50k not much |
| Re: Our Landlord Is Torturing Us by sinola(m): 5:51pm On Feb 27, 2021 |
ikechukwu21:You guys should summon him for a meeting. In the meeting, tell him that you guys will offset the outstanding and deduct the money from your subsequent house rent. This is how we do it in lagos though I don't know how you guys rôll in Abuja. |
| Re: Our Landlord Is Torturing Us by 4reala(m): 5:51pm On Feb 27, 2021 |
ikechukwu21:The truth is you the tenants have to come together, meet the landlord and inform him that you people don't want him to continue being charge of the bill collection. collect the bill from him, share it with the outstanding to every body, and when you collect the money, make d payment, then u all will start enjoying light. subsequent bills will be collected, shared and paid between yourselves |
| Re: Our Landlord Is Torturing Us by Originalsly: 5:52pm On Feb 27, 2021 |
Bro.... landlords do such because tenants allow them to. Didn't sign up and pay to be there for a certain period of time? So why would you even consider robbing yourself by moving out? That's what he wants to bring in new tenants to collect new payments. That's his game anger you are playing along. Meet with the other tenants.... then the landlord... give him an ultimatum.... if he can't refund you the remaining rent... plus the extra you paid on his debt.... by the second week of March... then he is to extend your lease by 3 months. Let him sign... if not... then you'll do what you have to do. This can be....A. pay Police to deal with him... B...pay soldiers to deal with him.. C.... pay area boys to stone his house... maximum damage.....or..... kick him around a bit as a warning. Be does whatever he does because of no consequences. You need to change that. |

I will advice you meet the neighbouring compound tap light from them by paying light consumption share with them and start to save money to park out as soon a ur rent expire.. Black man mind is always bitter and evil |
| Re: Our Landlord Is Torturing Us by ikechukwu21(op): 6:01pm On Feb 27, 2021 |
sinola:That's the problem... He's so troublesome that he doesn't listen to anyone. Every meeting you have with him ends in a fight. None of us plan on renewing our rent due to his hostile and crooked behaviour. |
| Re: Our Landlord Is Torturing Us by ikechukwu21(op): 6:05pm On Feb 27, 2021 |
FryMosquito:Ok. I'll meet with the other tenants and discuss this. We don't know how possible it is because last I heard he said he doesn't want to have anything to do with any other compound. My brother this thing has really affected me psychologically. |
