Remember don't be rude. Just insist that your case should be forwarded to multidoor court. They will issue the notice. If then they refuse or waste your time .go to their head office in ikeja with your documents.

He probably doesn't have the funds to rent a new apartment yet. He'll leave eventually. Home owners should learn to have compassion for their tenants. The state of affairs in the country is causing millions to suffer untold hardship.

chival:

I've got two, how about you?

militarily:
what u posted above was ethic stereotyping because u are an unrepentant tribalist.. Since u know that lots of igbo tenants are good tenants,while there may be a few bad eggs just like in every other tribe, why did u not make a blanket statement instead of singling out the Igbo's..

U see,u just cudnt muffle the tribalism which has welled up inside of you and has become your life identity..

Good day all.

Please, I need your advice on one wicked stubborn tenant. My family gave this our tenant a quick notice since February this year 2019. As a matter of fact, the tenant and our family went to Lagos Arbitration and Mediation Centre. It was at the Mediation Centre that we both reached an agreement that he should leave our apartment.

So, we gave him 6 months quit notice in February, 2019. His previous house rent elapsed that same February, 2019. So, for the 6 months quit notice we gave him, he didn't pay any money. He actually said he would need 6 months to search for another apartment at that meeting we had with him at the Mediation Centre in February. So, we gave him the 6 months for free.

The 6 months we gave him elapsed at the end of August, 2019. When the 6 months elapsed, he refused to vacate the apartment. So, my family went back to the Lagos Mediation Centre to complain. The Mediation Centre sent him (the tenant) a letter giving him 7 days ultimatum to vacate the apartment. At the end of the 7 days, this man refused to leave. My family complained again to the Mediation Centre and they said they would look into it.

After another 3 months again by last November, 2019, this tenant refused to leave the apartment. My family went back again to the Lagos Mediation Centre and one of the officials there said "So, the man has not left the house since?". We responded yes. At the Mediation Centre there, they said something like they are incapacitated by the law to take any action.

This is December now going to an end. The tenant is still in the house. He has refused to vacate the apartment. It's about 10 months now living in our apartment without any payment. He has refused to leave.

The apartment is a 2 bedroom flat in Aguda Surulere, Lagos. The tenant's name is Mr Chigozie Okongwu James.

We don't want to take law into our hands as it seems there is no solution to the problem through the Lagos Mediation Centre. It's about 10 months now!

What can my family do to get the man ejected from the apartment? Your advice are welcomed.

TheLasyBuddha:
My dad is a caretaker where we live in Lagos. One bastard man is pulling the same stunt and has refused to leave. He hasn't paid a dime for the past 4 years and shows no sign of doing so.

I told him Civil Arbitration Centre will never solve the problem, only a court can. He has spent a lot of money to get this idiot man evicted from the place but all had seemed fruitless.

Thank you so much for bringing this up, OP.

I urge others to take this seriously as people in Lagos do this to landlords.

flyingdutchman:

You are a very wicked person.

WAECMATHEMATICS:


Thanks for your advice.

Hope it'll not drag for months before he's ejected by the court's Sherrifs.

For the traditional means, can you shed more light on it?

otuekong1:
I hate to sound like this but its kinda a norm amongst some greedy Igbo's to rent your house and refuse to pay,he(tenant) is building his house that he intends packing into
I am speaking from a real experiences I had
***The options you have are:
1.Involve the police
2.Disconnect every disconnectable(roof,water,power,
3.Report him to his pastor
4.Buy a good padlock n lock them in/ out
5.pray cause the tenant might be using JAy Z on you

chival:


Swear on. You are inconsequential. Your views and vituperations mean absolutely nothing to me.

flyingdutchman:
Na guerrilla tactics remain oo! Send random people to make his life a living hell. But, beg them make dem no beat am or kill am oo! Make him property just dey loss small small.

EmptyCoconutHead:
so why u con post am for politics section?

sapele914:
Deprivation of source of income, report him to the police, make it a criminal case, only people with valid contracts can be protected by the court, he is a trespasser, who is trying to breach the peace, once he writes his own statement, they will detain him, and charge him to court for illegal entry and trespass.

You are entitled to 6 months notice BEFORE your rent expires. Once it has expired, you are entitled to only 7 days, Section 18(5) of the Lagos State Tenancy Law 2011.

Gandollaar:
Ok not even that he has no money. If it's a bungalow, pls remove his side of the roof and see if he tries to repair it. If he does, then get anyone he brings for the job arrested by the police since you guys want to play it civil.

Venerable612:


PLEASE DO NOT TAKE BOTH OF THIS ADVICE.

Like the Lagos Mediation Centre told you - under Nigerian Law, and particularly Lagos’s Tenancy - you cannot resort to Self-help. Even when you have served the statutory notices.

So it means YOU CANNOT FORCEFULLY EJECT HIM from your house or you risk being sued for unlawful ejection Yourself and having to pay for damages.

What yu can do is this.

INSTRUCT A LAWYER

If the value of the Rent is less than #10M, proceed to the Magistrate Court. You can institute an action for ejection and serve it on the Tenant.

If the Value of the Rent is above #10M, then you must proceed to the High Court immediately to the same as above.

Note: on both cases, you will normally take a Writ to enforce the judgment of the court on ejection. With that, the Sherrifs in the court will be the one to come eject him from your house themselves.

ANYWAY - that’s if you want to do it legally. Otumokpo, Ogun lakaaye or any traditional means may be a faster and cheaper means . Just kidding.

chival:


I am not. I own my own home. But growing up, I experienced these things. Sometimes people take a hard fall financially and in spite of their best intentions, they come to a point where they cant meet their financial obligations. That said, a few tenants have been known to be unnecessarily stubborn so yeah, life is an interesting mix of all sorts of people.

stephnie44:
