It is common occurrence with impunity for landlords in lagos state to attempt to forcibly eject or forcibly eject their tenants without taking them to court.They sometimes engage in self helf by the following acts inter alia:
a.intimidation and threatening of the tenants.
b.removal of the door by force.
C.padlocking the door to prevent entrance by the tenant.
D.removal of some of the roofing sheets etc In order to curtail these extreme and illegal acts of the landlords,the TENANCY LAW OF LAGOS STATE 2011 has made such act an offence which attracts SIX MONTHS IMPRISONMENT OR 250,000 fine.For clarity, SECTION 44(1) is hereinunder reproduced:
44-(1) subject to the provision of any law-
(a)any person who demolishes,alters or modifies a building to which this law applies with a view to ejecting a tenant and without the approval of the court;or
(b)any person who in respect of any premises-
(i)attempts to forcibly eject or forcibly eject a tenant;
(ii)threatened or molests a tenant by action or words, with a view to ejecting such tenant;or

Yes! We've all heard this crap.
It's strange though, that Lagos State Government is making all these laws that, more than adequately, protect tenants but little or no that protects a landlord from a nightmare of a tenant.

Is it enforceable? Hell No!
Thats the gospel truth
