Hold a meeting and negotiate with him as a group of tenants. He may listen and reduce the rents. Things are hard for everyone now.

Your landlord no send you. He did not build his house so you can have somewhere to live, but so he can make money to live himself.

Na una Nigerians vote ọmọ wa ni Tinubu, so reap what you voted for.

And please, don't bother telling me you did not vote for Tinubu or that he rigged it. I'm not in the least interested.

Abuja is not really bad RN compared to Asaba because transportation is still relatively cheap….

Houses are expensive in that area, but I still don’t see anything remarkable that justifies the high cost of rent in Ogbomoso.

I understand your frustration!

Firstly, a 200% rent increase is quite steep. Here are some steps you can take:

Negotiation
1. Review your lease agreement: Check if there's a clause that stipulates how rent increases should be handled.
2. Talk to your landlord: Schedule a meeting to discuss the rent increase. Be calm and respectful.
3. Propose a compromise: Suggest a more reasonable rent increase, citing market rates or your financial constraints.

Seeking Assistance
1. Tenant associations or unions: Reach out to local tenant organizations for guidance and support.
2. Housing counseling agencies: Non-profit organizations that provide free or low-cost housing counseling.
3. Local government agencies: Contact your local housing authority or consumer protection agency.

Legal Action
1. Consult a lawyer: If negotiations fail, consult with a lawyer specializing in tenant-landlord law.
2. File a complaint: If your landlord has violated the lease agreement or local laws, file a complaint with the relevant authorities.
3. Court action: As a last resort, take your landlord to court. Be prepared to provide evidence and witnesses.

Other Options
1. Look for a new place: If the rent increase is unsustainable, start searching for a new apartment.
2. Consider a rent subsidy: If you're eligible, explore government programs or non-profit organizations that offer rent subsidies.

Remember to document all communication with your landlord, including dates, times, and details of conversations.

Take a deep breath, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Haha, I’m sure this is happening in Asaba or Abuja... Meanwhile, why do you want to get involved in matters that don’t concern us? It’s either you pay the rent or go back to the village.

Nigerian law stipulates that rent must not be increased by over 50percent in a year.
The tenants have a right to sue.

I suggest you try to negotiate for a rent that aligns with your financial strength or run down your tenancy and move out to a more affordable apartment.

How can the government increase the price of 1 litre of petrol from N187 to N1,055 within 12 months (an increase of 464%) then tell landlords that they cannot increase rent by more than 50%?! undecided
