Good day Nairalanders

So I got a Job with a firm in a another state, I had to squat with my mum's friend for a month pending the time I will get my own accommodation, my search for house rent began. I reject so many offers, dent houses, high fee, house with no water only for me to get hooked up with one.

I was told there's a well beside the house but I wasn't told the well do dry off during dry season and hunt and request for water will be too high. I was told so many lies only for me to pay and after the payment, I started knowing wassup about the house but I haven't packed in nor filled any agreement form.

2days after considering the whole stuff, I decided to ask for a refund but was told the money has been slotted, only if I could wait for another tenant to come that I will then be refunded. I asked when is it likely for another tenant to come in, i was told they dont know.

is there any other means of getting my money refunded quick, or what advice would you all give me as regards that. The person incharge of the house refused to come put plainly until I paid. plus theres no water in the house.

I'm just sick of the whole stuff.
what do I do?

Wow. This one hard. Let's wait for the elders to come bro...

When exactly did you make the payment?

last week, payment is upto a week now

you can use the police to request for your refund. But u will go on to loose most part of the fee.
Its hard task for one to fall into the wrong hands of agent. they sweet talk sense where their is none.

How much is the money? Were you issued a receipt after payment?

this stuff just week me, I'm too soft for this stress

If payment is for a year, why not, just move in. Its raining season now, enjoy it & prepare for dry season. You'll survive.
