Education / Re: SA Daycare Suddenly Has Tigers Living Next Door, Looking Over The Wall (PIX) by Gavel(m): 9:19am On Oct 02, 2021
This is very dangerous, and the creche owners have the legal right to lodge a formal complaint to the authorities to have the tigers removed. Those tigers pose a serious threat to life.

That's not correct. When rent expires there is no duty to issue a quit notice.

Politics / Re: Rivers Government Drags FG To Supreme Court Over VAT by Gavel(m): 2:04pm On Sep 15, 2021
DubaiLandLord1:
The Appeal Court ask the Rivers State Govt. And FIRS to maintain status quo, that means Rivers can keep on collecting VATs till the Appeal Court pass a judgement.

I am a Rivers man and a PH based Lawyer. The Rivers State Govt has never collected VAT. The order of the Court of Appeal was that the status quo be maintained, and the court clearly stated that the parties should not give effect to the judgment of the lower court pending the determination of the appeal before the appeal court. So the status quo is for the FIRS to keep levying and collecting VAT in the mean time.

TheAdvocate:
Whether you sign it or not, 90% of the terms therein are implied by law. My only worry is that paragraph where the landlord can determine your tenancy by giving you 3 months' notice. The law provides for 6 months notice on the part of the landlord. Don't agree for less.
While it is true that in a yearly tenancy the minimum period of time required in a notice to quit is 6 months, legally, a tenancy agreement can lawfully shorten the duration of a notice to quit to any length of time the landlord and tenant agree, even if it's a day's notice.

It's unfortunate that this matter was not reported to the authorities on time. Now the limitation laws have caught up with the case as according to Section 218 of the Criminal Code Act every case of defilement of a girl 13 years and below must be filed within two months from when the offence was committed.

Very good tenant, I must say. I got a call a couple of hours ago from a tenant occupying an apartment in a property my law firm is managing for one of our clients, asking me to send him the account details that he wants to pay. He is a yearly tenant and his rent expires in May, 2021.

I y please I want to know if a landlord can(through a lawyer) draw up a no contest agreement with a tenant that stipulates that the tenant/ a third party can't Sue him for forceful eviction on expiration of his rent after due notice.
You should consult a Lawyer

I keep reading how can he give you quit notice when your rent is still on.? O many ignorant people saying trash because the Nigerian justice system moves at snail speed and most tenancy disputes don't end up in the court of law, where the law will be interpreted appropriately.
You can go and make your enquiries from a lawyer. A Notice of Quit can be duely served even when the tenancy is still running. I decide to serve a tenant whose rent expires by June 2021 a Notice of Quit by 2020 December and I will still be well within my right.
A notice of quit is not a termination of the tenancy, rather it's to notify the tenant that I do not wish to renew the contract of his tenancy when his present rent expires.
It's just a pity that the judiciary doesn't expedite cases of this nature when it's taken to the court.

Properties / Re: My Landlord Gave Me 6months Quit Notice When My Rent Will Due In 6months Time by Gavel(m): 1:25pm On Mar 09, 2021
[q
No pls. A valid notice to quit begins to run during the tenure of the tenancy and expires/elapses on the very last day of the current tenancy. A tenant who stays beyond that day will have to pay mesne (pronounced mean) profit which is a calculation of the rent for the extra period he held over possession, except of course the landlord waives his right to insist on the additional payment.
uote author=Prechy08 post=99738723]

your landlord is a smart dude.
your rent expires in same time frame. it depends on you though, you can start now and start looking for house but if you want to buy more time get a lawyer to write him too notifying/reminding him that your present rent expires in 6 month so therefore. the 6 months will start from August.

it's ur call[/quote]
Properties / Re: My Landlord Gave Me 6months Quit Notice When My Rent Will Due In 6months Time by Gavel(m): 12:56pm On Mar 09, 2021
As a Lawyer, I can tell you that a valid notice to quit over a yearly tenancy (in the absence of any other period of notice specified in a written tenancy agreement) is a minimum of 6 months advance notice which must expire on the eve of the anniversary of the current tenancy.

It means the notice in your case ought to expire on the 31st day of August instead of the stated 18th August. So this notice is invalid.

However, bear in mind that upon the expiration of your current tenancy and in view of the fact that your landlord appears unwilling to grant you a renewal, you will become a tenant at will and only entitled to a 7 day notice to quit.
