It is incredibly hard to remove a tenant who knows the process and tenants do have more rights than landlords and rightly so. It is the tenants home and the right to have a suitable roof over a human's head trumps another human's want to make money for services rendered. After all, they're the perceived underdogs in that relationship. It's only the tenant or a court that can end the tenancy. When the landlord says I want my house back, tenant has to say yes, otherwise Oga landlord has to wait. It currently takes about 12 - 14 months to go through the whole court process of removing a tenant.

A S21 is a catch all eviction notice. Most landlords will use it so the tenant has a lower chance of challenging it as they they just want their house back rather than explicitly stating what the issue is and then it being drawn out further. A section 8 is easier to take through court as the landlord/ agent so when an agent does use it, you know they're serious about getting you out.


Although, all eviction notices are 2 months, the tenants can choose not to leave, can choose to stop paying rent and can choose to frustrate the landlord every step of the way through the court system and there is absolutely nothing the landlord can do other than wait out the process and apply for a CCJ against the tenant at the end.

The notices also expire and all need certain conditions to be met which is where it catches out DIY landlords. If those conditions are not met when it gets to court - however long it takes - it'll be thrown out and the landlord needs to issue the notice again and wait 2 month before starting the court process. If you win the case, then you need to instruct and pay bailiffs and hope that they are available soon as waiting times for bailiffs is now also between 2 to 6 months across the country.

Going to court also costs money - of course costs can be charged back to either the landlord or tenant but the willingness to pay nko? One of our tenants paid back £3800 at £5 a week. Of course we could have done a financial disclosure but again, it means going back to court, then paying to have their payslips and bank statements collected so the financial disclosure can be done. In the meantime, they can resign, move away, change names, go self employed, declare a reduction in earnings and frustrate that process.

A landlord can be banned from landlording, they can be forced to sell properties to meet requirements and regulations and sometimes spurious ones too. If you own a HMO, then your name and address is on a public register that all and sundry can access. In Scotland and Wales, rents are capped, and every landlord is on a register. Rent increases can be challenged and often won when done according to stats. Direct payments can be stopped and other than these notices which totally relies on the goodwill on the tenant, court is likely the only option to get your property back if that goodwill is not there.
Has he finished paying?

What if this was a house on mortgage with a tenant as this? Would the banks care for all that delay?

NuCypher:
Many Nigerians take such things for granted. When Covid started ravaging places like New York and Italy, there were theories that it was going to decimate Africa (especially Nigeria) once it gets there, especially given the high human density in places like Lagos. Many people were scared. Regardless, when Covid got into Lagos, it barely did any damage. Nigerians were barely washing hands or using face masks, yet nothing happened to them. This surprised many public health experts who had expected carnage. When it went for long enough and Covid didn't seem like a problem in densely populated places like Lagos, one theory advanced was that the many vaccines people in Lagos certainly took in the childhood may have been responsible for the inherent immunity they developed against flu-like viruses like Covid. While nobody knows for certain, there's likely some truth there.

Many Nigerians don't know the good the vaccines they took in childhood was. They grow up, listen to American propaganda and suddenly think vaccines are Bill Gates trying to take over the world. The same Bill Gates that sponsored their polio vaccine....dey play
Children born in the US do not take this vaccines?

What I'm asking,hiring an engineer seem like a waste of money,I plan to pay only the architect,can the brick layers work with the plan of the architect? Or can I pay the architect to monitor the project as an engineer too?

I'm trying to avoid unnecessary waste of money.
Yes, you can get an architect to design and also supervise the build especially if it's not a building with suspended floors. A good architect can handle it.

@op, just like others said, just pray and hit the road. From mokwa to kontangora to yauri to jega then Birnin kebbi is very safe. But expect bad roads, especially from mokwa to kontagora.
Safe journey!.
The drivers might not even pass kontagora from Mokwa they'll link Felege

There's nothing to be afraid of, just pray and make your journey. I know someone who recently travelled by road from Kebbi to Ibadan. I know others who have made the journey to and fro.

Enter a vehicle going to Sokoto and stop in Kebbi, it's fairly safe.

The second option like someone else mentioned is to take a flight from Lagos to Sokoto and then take a vehicle to Kebbi.

@ sconp, you are correct sir. I've been banned twice trying to respond to my mentions.
I suspect the reason you have a blister is that the concrete wasn't fully dry.
As the concrete gets hot, the trapped water vapor tries to evaporate but are trapped by the epoxy coat. The bubbles are the water vapor trying to escape.
You may scrape the affected parts during dry period and repaint the affected parts.
Thanks

Hi Gbadexy, I could really do with your expert opinion on this.

A deck slab was cast and power floated, when green epoxy paint is applied to it, certain areas of the painted slab form bubbles. Any idea the cause and how to remedy it?
To also add, the area experiences intense weather conditions.

So, training commenced on the 6th of Apr, 2021 at Ribadu cantonment with confirmation of credentials, medicals n contraband/kaya checking, after which our names were called out to us n coy as well, I was in Tamando coy this happened at the DRILL SHED. Thereafter, we were taken to our various coy by prep wingers (mostly 3rd termers). D first Job bought was the Sunday that follow... what really happened: It was specified we to come with Suit BT no specific color so, imagine what followed... Well, I went with black suit but, no black tie so I bought it too...Service was organized for us defaulters at the Ante room after which d Job ffd (well, we survived d day)...subsequent Jobs ffd.. Mehn, prep winging ain't a good thing...we were wearing white vest n black trousers as Clowns..(all my salala wasted)In no time, we conducted drill sq test, those that passed were at liberty to wear camp. I didn't pass at first so, I'll be wearing white n black while some of my course mates were on CAMO, I wasn't a good feel. D 2nd test was conducted, it was at this stage I passed, d 3rd n 4th too subsequently. In no time, we started field ex, bush camps, obstacle crossing n very importantly PT. One Saturday, we were told we'll be going on a 3.2km race...we ran from the PG sch to VARMA gate n hunched back to PG sch, it was as if that was d day most of my course mate wud die but, that was even a tip of the iceberg compared to what our eyes saw in subsequent times...well, we survived d hunching...some, with damaged legs. There was always this cmon question asked when a great feat is achieved...'Do you think you've done what Napoleon hasn't done'...Sometimes in May, we went for Camp Initial (the first bush camp) @Jaji....all camps, we usually dash back so...we dashed back... with our rifles.... My Coy came first..Then camp Sabon yaro...a good camp too...Sometimes in June, activities choked up for us cos speculations were we were to pass out with RC 68, we had the cross country competition that June, my coy came first..In July, we had d obstacle crossing competition, Colito came first...It was in that month that our troubles started...

Professionals in the house I really need your advice. I’m worried about the circled area around the verandah of my build I told the engineer handling the project I’m not comfortable leaving the design like that hence he should introduce a pillar to support that angle cos of the weight. Please kindly advice
The first question is what is on the structural drawings?
Is it being built according to what is contained in the structural drawings?

The beam indicated as 1 in the drawing below is resting solely on blockwork as there's no column on that end(indicated in orange) and I can't tell from the picture if it's anchored to another beam.
The beam indicated as 2 is cantilevered about 3m away from support(marked in magenta)

Ideally, Beam 1 should be carrying beam 2 and I would have expected 2 columns (depending on load) between Beam 1. One at the end marked orange and another immediately after the block work.

I'm concerned there maybe cracks when these beams are eventually loaded.
However, kindly defer to your structural drawings and structural engineer.

lordaltruist:
Thanks so much guys for all the contribution so far and let me be straight;

I could say it's an infatuation or deep likeness but even infatuations can lead to love at the end it's just how you want yours to end.

As a matter of fact, I just discovered she's in her mid 40's that to say she's 46 and I am just turning 30 and sincerely like I said, age does not limit or define my relationship and if it's about child bearing common that's the list of my worries.

I don't really know if she feels the same way for me but on many occasions whenever I tell her that I want to get a job somewhere else, she fumes seriously and most recently told me not to seek employment elsewhere with no reasons given.

I have observed we are both scare of talking about our relationship life because it will steer us into having a relationship and even though we have tried to be cautious about it, we could not still resist it at times.

Personally I don't do flips (short time romance), I am a long relationship guy and I do not consider age to be the defining factor for my relationship thus my concern is if she would not see age as a factor otherwise I can go all the way.

I have dated younger, young, old and older ladies before so I know what it takes to be in a relationship with someone way older than myself; I also understand that they are more matured than our yellow sisi walking about everywhere so why not do it.

Anyway your advises have really made me think twice and I think I would rather make her want me rather than going to her and sincerely I do not hesitate to woo a woman I want; I only give myself time to know the person very well (her outside personality) before jumping into the boat. So toasting no be my problem ghaghan.

Truth is, I have suffered too many heartbreak from all this our young yellow sisis and that's what drove me into dating mature ladies but I don't do married women ooo.

So I have just been in search of a true long lasting relationship and since my last experience, I find it difficult to toast a girl either my age bracket or even younger because I felt they are all the same, they would profess fake love to you and after draining you of your emotions, money, trust and patience, they would just trash you like nothing.

I am feeling this way with my colleague because she's been there for me all this while, she's been of a great help to me and I mean we talk virtually everything, family, friends (not the relationship friends as we always avoid that part), work and our personal life at times.

I mean she queries me if we are on holiday and I didn't call her, there are times she had planed (cooked, prepared movie we would watch) for me during our holiday but would not call me (I guess she doesn't want to be the one to press the button) only for me to discover she had been expecting me to call so she could ask me to come over.

So let me get it, is it just me or I am just imagining things?

I am not into what she could offer (these are not the reasons I go into a relationship); I am more of how I what it to end (for better and for worse and till death do us apart).

Sincerely I define my relationships only that I have met the wrong girls otherwise I would not have found myself in this situation, would I say lusting after my senior colleague or having a deep likeness for her; someone who is way older than myself.

Well I just hope it doesn't cost me my job. And anyways sincerely I just have to put it off cause of the risk involved. Hopefully one day I would find my missing rib.

Thank you all for your contributions, it really helped my decision.
I might be wrong but I think she has the hots for you too. You need to know how she sees you, does she see you like a son or a friend that could be a lover.

If you're a bit adventurous valentine is around the corner, cook some fine meals and invite her over.

Eat, drink, talk and dance with her to some sensual old music, while you guys dance you'll know if there's a connection.

Lastly, she's 46, she's a traditional woman, chances are she'll not ask you out directly. You should also talk about one or two past r/ships so you can open up her emotional side.

Ciao
