Since she is owing rent for a year, she is only entitled to seven (7) days notice of owners intention to recover possession of premises. Once that notice is served, upon expiration or even before expiration, you need to file a process in court to evict her legally. The court will not take it lightly with her that she is in default of rent for that length of time
thank you

Good u paid into his account but next time endeavor to get ur receipts cous he could still deny the payment as ur rent.

Go plead with ur landlord(which in my case I won't do), if he refuses don't fret about it.
When the 1 month elapses, he will certainly come again then tell him u ve not got a place yet nd u need extra 5month to complete the mandatory 6month.

Sure with this he would get where u re driving to, if u like [s]when it's 6month take him court, this will give u another 6month to 1yr free accommodation.
[/s]
Just start making arrangements for funds to move cous the above ain't going to be easy, the landlord will find every way to make ur living there Hell...

One thing most people don't know is when a court gives you quick notice, let's say 6months. You are bound to pay for those months. They ain't free oh.....

I rented a house where a friend solicit on my behalf through a woman called mama Mary. My friend met this woman to beg since we heard that the landlady doesn't want single tenant.

The struggle started as to who take bath in the bathroom. She compete with me for the bathroom just like waking up all her four kids as early as 4:00am, taking their bath one after the other for hours. But she and her kids works and school at three buildings distance from our compound. This woman (mama Mary) is a fellow tenant as I do. In fact, just a wall separates my room from hers. There was a time I went to meet her explaining reasons why she need to allow me take my bath first since where I work is far. Surprisingly, my plead finally cause enmity between us.

She finally succeed in helping the landlord to quit me from the room through her lies and others. My rent expired last month and I was called last night that I should quit the room in the next one month. Please what should I do? I'm in state of confusion now and depression. Right now, I couldn't afford to rent another room.


You for just siddon jeje, wake much earlier to bath or use flannel, soap, warm water and bowl.
You see wetin bathroom palaver dey cause?

6 months is the standard. I have some guy and his family living free in my duplex for the past 5 months now. Because he has a lawyer friend advising him. I do not like involving my company lawyers because they are like wounded ' Tigreses'. So I just want them to pack out at the fulness of time at least for the sake of their children (I love children). But the parents are too proud and obstinate.

I advise you to use wisdom mixed with humility except you don't dream of owning houses that people will live in some years from now
Were they paying rent yearly? Cos a lot of pple are getting it wrong, you only give six months notice wen the person pay rent yearly as in, the person pays for a year, if he pays rent every six months then he is only entitled to 3 months notice, if the rent is paid monthly, one month notice. The notices go hand in hand with the duration d tenant pays for, it's not in every case they are entitled to 6 months notice.

lmfao...make sure no stays n ur house for 3months without paying rent. Most Nigerians ain't worth the stress...They take your kindness and weakness. I manage more close to a hundred flats, I talk frm experience. Try and notify d person 2months before his rent expires...if he no serious, gv erm extra one month atleast.
You know when something involves church relatives attend, e get as e be. Going many kilometres all the way to see dad and begging with my neighbours of over 10 years made it more difficult. You know those people that you cannot refuse things easily. Chronic debtors are very shameless and crafty people. grin cheesy

My bro,
dis is wot d law said;
1. Yearly tenant wil b given 6 month notice.
2. 6mnth tenant, 3mnth notice.
3. Quaterly tenant, 3mnths.
4. Monthly tenant 1month.
So, u legaly hv 3mnth if u can prove ur last payment.
If she refused, meet government Lawyer without or little cost (depending on d person u met) at near-by L.g.a.

My dear, get another apartment as fast as possible to avoid been hunted by that ur witchy landlord. They are everywhere. Recently my landlord brought a notice that we were gonna pay for phcn bill, which is normal. There was no specific time for d payment, last week I just returned from work only to find out that I didn't have light. I checked around, change switch etc nothing worked, later that night my younger one told me she found that it's d landlord that disconnected my light. So i phoned him in d morning to find out what went wrong, it was then he told me that since I didn't respond for the bill that he went and paid so it's phcn that disconnected me. I wasn't happy with him tho cos he didn't remind me of that bill after the first awareness. Later that evening I went and we sorted out things, I paid him my quota and he asked me to go and connect my light back.
the reason I brought this story is, on getting to d ceiling, men, i discovered that all the electric wiring in my apartment were disconnected, as in the wires were cut in pieces. I will not only need an electrician but i have to buy new wires to rewire. Can u see how some landlords are? Wickedness is in their blood. Dear, run for ur dear life!

Thanks, I will start making preparation even in three to four months time.

You have to go and plead with your landlady because you paid 3 month rent and that means you are a monthly tenant and if she know the law well she suppose to give you 7 days and not 1 month. If you had paid a year then your notice would have been 6 month notice. Please move fast.

Hello House, Sorry for derailing but I need urgent advice

My mother just informed of one of her tenants who has refused to pay his last year rent. When he moved in 2014 he didn't complete his rent, he owed 30k and the rent of 2015 he hasn't paid which made his total rent owed to be 280k as at now. The Major issue now is the 2015 rent is due March and by April he is suppose to pay for 2016. And she explained to me that this man has made no attempt to pay. She has spoken with him and sent letters or reminder. Mind you my Mother said she was considering the man's plight as a family man . Please should she serve the Quit notice to this tenant. And the 6months Notice I want to ask is it free or the tenant pays for the 6months used. Please advice as she wants me to come and intervene. I really don't know much on Property/Tenancy issues.

Await your replies.

Thanks

Thanks everyone! I am happy that I'm member of nairaland family. I appreciate your advice. Your points was wisely selected.

I went to meet the lady to ask what I did to her. She said mama Mary told her I don't do something in the compound. I told her that these things are lies against me. I gave her evidence and witnesses in the compound. Thereafter, I begged her and knelt down close to 1 hour begging her to take back her quit notice. She finally agreed to my plight but said I should write LETTER OF UNDERTAKEN. What did I do wrong that will be in the content of the letter? Just thinking how to write this letter!!!

Just pledge to be a good tenant, respect and honor your landlord/landlady (this will make her head swell up) and promise to keep your surroundings neat in keeping with the tenents of tenancy in Lagos state. Biko please do not pledge to pay your rent on any particular day. the undertaking is actually unenforceable but what the heck...you get a breather.

Such a tenant is only entitled to seven (7) days notice of Owners Intention to Recover Premises. Look for the nearest Area Customary Court and meet the registrar, they will draft a claim in your mothers name summoning the tenant to court. They can also help you with that notice before the claim. Your mother is entitled to be paid all of her unpaid rent. when a notice is served whether for six (6) months or even one year, the tenant MUST still pay the rent due within the period of the notice.
