Please nls, I need your advice.
My Fiancé rented a 1 room and Palour out of a 3 bedroom flat. Its well demarcated so they only share the kitchen. The other two rooms are occupied by 2 different individuals which were tenants before him. He came in through one of the earlier occupants and they've been living very fine.

Please I wish to know
What are the dangers of living in such apartment if perhaps issues arise because

1. The lawyer or the landlord according to him, is not aware of the development. Once the rent expires, they get paid and so have no need coming around in a long time.
2. From what my guy said, All 3 of them are not the first occupant of the Flat. It was handed over from the original tenant to his co tenant who rented it out to him.
3. Though he has the lion share of all bills(electric and security), since he occupy the larger part of the house, he has no access to the original rent receipt.
4. Other flat, are all occupied by family men and have no need to share. Just his flat.

So, the enlightened in the house, please what are the dangers of living in such place perhaps issues arise among the tenants in the future?

. Is he an illiterate? The problem is that he has no legal rights in that house. The landlord or lawyer can treat him like pack of shit and he can't do anything about it. The law doesn't recognize him there and they can throw him out in the middle of the night or come and lock the place and sieze his properties and he can't do anything legally.

What the first person who rented the flat did is called sub-letting, which is frowned at by many agents and landlords. You fiance is simply an illegal occupier of the house and could be evicted within 24 hours without going to court.

A good lawyer could send all the occupiers to jail for Trespassing. No big grammar about it.

How come this kind of post made it to the front page?

Ops, how this matter take concern you, abi na your apartment?

go and create your own site. Na your mates dey create site. Seun no get two heads. Dey complain on top another person property.

I'm currently in a similar situation but there're no issues.
3 bedroom flat with a large parlor, (every room has it own bathroom and toilet attached) so not crossing of bounds. Though the first occupant uses the only kitchen but each room entrance has enough space to use as kitchen so I don't have any issue. Also, we re colleagues at work place.
We have been living for a year now. My junior sis leave with me, as a single guy (I don't carry girls, so no problems)

Flatshare works well abroad nah

Any issues so far?

Cause we for here we no day judge case wen fight no day involved

Yeah

Kingpele:
Depends on the kind of relationship he have with the co tenants..however it is wrong in the side of the law to demarcate a property without the consent of the owner..in this case if they had misunderstanding, the original tenant will have to evict others

Really?
In the eyes of the Law, Does any of the co tenant have the right to evict any of them?

You will be busy dressing up after shower and you'll see eyes peeking at you. First you thought it was rats, on closer look you'll find out it's your co-tenant with serious erection staring at you. Other problems are missing food and valuables

Or rather my "FlatMate"

Datikwerreboi:

You didn't need to tell us you're a lawyer bc it is not verifiable. Just write your stuff and move on

Didn't say it so you'd believe, said it cos most non-lawyers won't know most things about clauses in tenancy agreements.

GerogeI:
Flat sharing is suited to young people struggling to establish their careers. It is the lowest cost of accommodation in UK, and US, so their is nothing wrong with sharing flats. Its way better than face me I face you.

The problem is that our theiving legislature has not found it useful to laydown laws guiding flats share as has been the case in other parts of the world.
So my suggestion is that the parties involved should draw up an agreement covering the sharing dos and don't and sign it. And also try to ensure their rent reaches the owner of the house.

Whether the landlord is aware or not, the minimum period of 6 months must be given for eviction as long as he has been collecting money from one of you.

Thank you. Also, can any of the occupants decide or collaborate to evict any of the other occupant?
