Sorry! I'm not a tenant

I'm both

Mediation Centre are protenants in dealing with agreement issues

It is expedient to suggest opinions with experience rather than speculation

Most tenants renew their rents at the beginning of the year. Based on my tenancy agreement,I renewed my rent early than expected because I had a lot of activities lined up for the year that will require money. Besides, I don't want landlord to remind me that my rent has expired.

In previous years, I renewed my rent on the second week of the beginning of the month so that I don't send a signal of abundance on my side. Sometimes, I pay in arrears even when the money is there.

I was surprised that after making the payment, I got a notification of increment of rent effective from January, 2022.

My family has been very peaceful tenant since we parked in. I have thought through the notice to find the best way to approach him to withdraw the increment without him giving me an option to park out if I am not comfortable.

Please advise me on the best approach to use in this situation.
2022 � I beg the guy try
If its too much for you move out
If your landlord na ogogoro man shark am up and tell am
If na womanizer send your wife go beg am or your sister I don't mean anything negative o but such people listens to women plea
If na God fearing person approach him with humility
But true be say na who know person dey do person. Person wey I no know how I want take teach u how to enter am. Na u know am study him likes and penetrate. If u no thank me I will never teach u sense again. And if u insult me Kai I fit be your landlord

Some landlords are of the devil.
With all the predicament facing someone, increasing house rent is what they feel they can add to the already filled plate?
My landlord is A VERY GOOD MAN.
He has a lovely wife and they are VERY considerate. Who said an Igbo landlord isn’t good? I would gladly have him as a landlord till i leave this shithole.
Sometimes, it’s not always about money.. But doing right by a fellow human.
Some of this landlords push young men into stealing and illegalities to stay afloat. Which shouldn’t be so. Your property isn’t a license to senselessly extort. Your children will one day need to pay rent
Hahaha, it seems you have not live outside the shores of Nigeria.
The economy is getting tough by the day for everyone including you.
If you go and purchase an item in the market the increase in price is for everyone, same as children school fees, electricity bills and other miscellaneous expenses.
How do you expect your land lord to afford it with increased prices?
You better wake up.

I do not know how much your rent is, but no landlord has any right to unilaterally review rent without informing you ahead and having due consultation with his tenants.

If your rent figure is in the high range my brother sit him down and let him know you deserved some notification but you do not wish to be a troublesome tenant and therefore would require a little reduction in the amount from what it has been increased to.

If he refuses, you either pay him or sue him!
But from the report the OP said the rent is to be increased from 2022 that means he's informed, the landlord must have informed other tenants maybe through texts or notice.

My landlord tried this and I sent him a text to refund me my money and give me a month notice to park out. That was how that year rent passed. But subsequent year was still increased, got no option but to park to where I can get more electric power.

Bro, if am in your shoes, I won't pay him #1 after the one you paid him before. He should have let you know about it weeks ago. If he no gree, ask for your money so u go fit use am rent house for another location. You go com use 6 month in the house for free, while searching for where to live.

Where do this 6months "free" misconception come from?

Even if you are given 6months notice to move out, there's no law that says it's free. Get that right now!

I agree with you, at the bolded.
But unfortunately, the Landlord is not unique in that position, the person your Landlord buys Garri, Rice, beans, oil, Cement, Clothes, School fees, Transport, bank, even Govt, have all increased their prices and charges your Landlord has to pay!
Can we now say the same thing of all these people, that they are Devils?

If that is true, l bet you are also a Devil, because you would be somewhere in that list.

Bottom line: Nigerian environment is full of Evil Dog-eat-Dog people.

BTW: What is the noise about, the increase wont take effect until 2022, that is ONE YEARS TIME/NOTICE

And you think the Landlord will not serve him a Quit Notice, before the rent ends?
What will he do then?

When I was in Nursing School. My landlord was nice to me. I don't know why. Even when I didn't have enough money to complete my rent at a time, I went to explain to him and he agreed and was just smiling. He just said he understands and collected the half payment I brought.

He was a kind landlord but his wife likes looking at me with bad eyes anytime I pass to go to school. I don't know why.

I'm glad I'm off there.
It's good you left there because you will be a big distraction to the man, the wife self fit pour you hot water for body.

The best way to approach him to discuss your rent increment is by getting a bottle of wine,a fertile female goat,a Rolex watch and don't forget to go along with the land receipt of the 50/50 plot of land you just acquired showed them to him and tell him to go to hell.

Yenyenyen... Were you sleeptyping when you came up with that balderdash? Like his tenants were there when he was the building the house with his fortune, I don't even know why the Law favours tenants over the landlords in almost every aspects.. He gave him a year notice about the increment, could he have been more lenient or sympathetic cos the economy is bad like he's not involved in the same economy?. Pelotudo! angry

Am a landlord too, I think if you approach your landlord personally, and talk to him, he may be willing to listen.
I am landlord with houses in lagos, I have not increase a single rent on any of my properties for the past 5 years.

That doesnt mean that the idea of increasing the rent if not on my mind, but sometimes you just have to have human feeling towards certain things.

You didn't blame the government for inflation, but you are blaming the landlord for increasing the house rent,which is already stated in tenancy agreement that rent increament is inevitable variable to inflation. Is it only house rent increases in price in recent times? All building materials and fittings from march of last year till date have increased in price between 50% - 150%
