@OP your landlord is right while you are wrong.

A calendar year is January - December not January - Jamuary

If you paid rent in April 2019, you next rent will be in March 2020.

Birthdays are different for those using beer parlour logic above.

And by your classroom logic the next one will be in February 2021

You and the people that likes ur comments are olodo.

You sounded silly and uneducated. 12 months is equal to 1 year, not 11 months.

Bluehill1051:
Olodo! Why haven't you been celebrating your birthday one month earlier. Fool.
I see too many foolish people here on nairaland these days

I'm disappointed that you're just realizing, in 2020, that náíràland is full of rubbish people

My Landlord Is Intimidating Me And Wants To Evict Me Before My Rent Expires

I paid my house rent for one full year on 18/04/2019. My rent is due to expire on 17/04/2020.

But my Landlord is insisting it expired on 17/03/2020. Which is Eleven months. I have tried explaining to him but he wants to lock me out unless I pay immediately.

Please how do I get redress.

I had exactly the same problem with my landlord. He told me my rent is due a month before. I Just am dey laugh. I stayed my full rent period

TheGiftedOne:
Sue the illiterate. After he appears in court more than once, he'll come back to his senses

Are you a Nigerian

Yes, you obviously know your right.

Guy you are lucky I have a tenant his rent is due for over 6 months. He has refused to pay me. I have taken to the court of arbitration. The guy has refused to pay me. Guys what do I do. I am thinking of giving him a notice. After which i would remove the roof of the house if he refuses to leave the house.

This is wrong. The guy's rent expires in April.
Count it like this: If he enters in April, then month starts country ng in May.
May- 1st Month
June - 2 Month
.
.
.
Feb - 10 months
March- 11 months
April - 12 month.

I guess common sense is not that common after all.

Another olodo! U don't count a year like that. A year from today is yesterday and vice versa. A year from Jan 1 is 31st Dec, that's a day before Jan 1st.
Stop arguing blindly

You are so correct.. E clear say you do taxation..@femi4

Are you a Nigerian, not are you a Nigeria?

See as nairaland cast because of small calculation... The thing even reach 14 pages.. OP you're correct, your landlord and the people wey say your landlord correct dey de same whatsapp group.. Olodo people

carbon1224:




Your rent expires 17/03/2020 and he is correct and there is more to this. That’s exactly 12month

So many illiterates in Nigeria. His rent expires 17/04/2020

You are so crazy. Can't argue with you.

Maybe your unqualified teacher taught you in school that 11 months is equal to 1 year. That is particularly why you cannot comprehend well.

I now know why most of you fail interviews. You all forgot the dude's date starts counting April 19, how can his house rent be due before March when he is completing another month the next month. Guys use your sense.

femi4:
you don't know maths

Your landlord is correct, April to March = 12 months
April to April =13months

femi4:
you don't know maths

Your landlord is correct, April to March = 12 months
April to April =13months

Don’t mind the idiot, rent start counting from the day and month you make payment and it not the next month. I thinks his landlord is a fool so that he can scam him.

Really. Sometimes I wonder if some brains are made of avocado seeds.

Lots of silly folks here. They usually end an application letter with yours lovely and expect to get the job? Foolish people.

reservd:

You don't hv to insult, if u still don't understand how it works, count 365days from 18/04/19 and see where it ends. It's as simple as that

I can guarantee that 100% of you all, that got the calculation wrong do not own commercial properties. All rental property owners are aware of this tricky calculation.

Guy settle with your landlord because he is right and you are wrong. What you are calculating is 13 months as rent starts counting from the very month you make payment.

dejol88:

Please sir, what does the law say concerning one year rent? Does the law see 1 year as 11months?

It is arguable but as per the decided case of JOYLAND v. WEMABOD ESTATES LTD. A rent from April to April is 12months and not 13months

nuban07:


U are the crazy one, look at my comment u quoted. U misquoted me, we are on the same lane

Sorry about that.

A rent that started 17th April simply expired 16th April of the next year. That's 365 days but people were busy counting months which is wrong

oruhobinna:


Exactly, sue him.. Some landlords are just overly annoying and condescending

It you guys that are illiterates, the landlord is right as rents starts from the month you make payment and what this guy is calculating is 13 months. Let him go and settle with his landlord before Nairaland fools mislead am astray

nuban07:

There's no need to educate them anymore. Foolishness is a drawback.

brownsugardr:

Please explain further, how does 17/03/2020 make 12 months?

For rental properties for example, 13th April 2019 terminates at April 13th 2020. This is not a loan where it is calculated with less of a day.

Therefore,ur landlady is very wrong.

Vortex369:

Well at least I own one but may I ask out of curiosity, if he rents in April last year, pays in March this year, Feb nxt year, Jan upper year, pays in Dec by 2023 and it goes on like that right?

carbon1224:

How did his rent expire on 17/3/2020?

The tenant is right.

Ibechris2:

Therefore,ur landlady is very wrong.

If the tenancy starts on 13th april 2019, it will expire on 12th of april 2020.

hisexcellency34:
Even after you rent expires, you are entitled to six months without pay

Its not 6 months, it is 3 months and that license is given to tenants who have been issued notice to quit...

as. Date("2019-04-18") + 365

"2020-04-17"
