5 Abnormal Things Lagos Landlords Do Often by Yarnvibes(f): 5:46am On May 05, 2016 |
Some Lagos landlord see themselves as demi-gods, formulating rules that only favour them. A lot of Nigerians spend almost all they earn on rent and food, yet some landlords are hell-bent on increase their rents monthly or yearly as the case maybe. Tenants in Lagos go through a lot at the hands of these type of landlords and the landlords more often than not get away with their excesses because there are no stringent rules holding them accountable. For some who have experienced some of the unconventional things landlords in Lagos do, this piece by Yarnvibes would only take you down memory lane… Lock your door with Padlock: You will be so shocked to return home from work one stressful day and find your door locked with a padlock other than the one you used in the morning before leaving and BOOM!!! it hits you in the face – your good-old-landlord came calling and just had to do something to make you feel worthless just because your rent is due in two weeks. Leech: You would probably need a sharp tool to unplug them from your stuff. These kind of landlords can borrow anything from their tenant even up to salt. You would just be signing yourself into his trap, the day you refuse to lend him. Hike rents: A Lagos landlord might as well be tired of seeing your face every morning and would personally decide that the best way to send you packing is to hike the rent when your rent is due and it doesn’t matter whether you’re a new tenant or not, because no one will hold him responsible, its his house afterall. Greed: Some landlords would be right on time to collect their rents but would completely disappear when they have to fix something in the house. They expect you to pay the rent and fix something that naturally should be their responsibility. Intrude: An apartment after being paid for, for the duration of the rent should be the tenant’s but some landlords especially those that live in the same house make it their duty to interfere in everything that concerns the tenant. They monitor every single detail that it becomes almost impossible for the tenants to breathe without being criticised.

before you start condemning Landlords, remember you'll have your own house. although some of these things are true, a lot of lagos landlords respect themselves and let their tenants live in peace. untill their rent is due. 6 Likes |

For me, landlords rarely mess with me. Make yourself so enticing! Dress nice! Smell nice! Sound nice! Be polished in etiquette! Come home like I do, my earphones in my ears, my eyes brimming with vitality and happiness! Have only "well doing" friends come over! If you are single and must be a playboy, do it with the bravado of someone who is good at his game! Lastly, always wire his house rent to his bank account on time if you are renewing your rent, like 2 weeks before the due date, that's how a landlord woke me up with smiles at 7am back then because he got my payment alert by 6am from my internet banking, he was so happy and thanking me I became his most "loved" tenant since then 10 Likes |

Lock your door with Padlock: No responsible landlord will padlock your door before rent is due, it's only thugs that would engage in such an act! Leech: Again a landlord worth anything would not borrow from tenants, familiarity breeds contempt! Hike rents: Do you know how much it costs to build a house? If the landlord increases rent then it is justified. You keep forgetting people rent out their houses to make profit not to make friends! Greed: I'm glad you said some because if someone can struggle to gather enough money to build a house, I'm sure such a person would want to maintain it to the best of his/her abilities! Intrude: You have every rights to your privacy but there are certain instances where a landlord can intrude. For example: smoking Indian hemp, domestic violence, filth and so on. 4 Likes |
