Does She Have A Right? by Godmother(f): 5:42pm On Oct 22, 2022 |
Guys, my landlady just called me now that my utility bills are due. I pay 18k biannually in the following break down: Lawma 1k Security 1k Sweeping 1k That's 3k monthly for six months. However, I've been out of the house for five months. I'm pregnant and currently at my mom's because in so sick. Am I required to pay this money even though I've been out of the house for months? She also talked about NEPA bills and we use prepaid. Normally I pay 3,500 monthly. Am I also required to pay for the months I didn't use? I'm so pissed right now Someone versed in this affair should come to my aid, please. |

You'll have to pay some not all though. Pay for only security, but for sweeping, lawma and electricity I think you can talk to her let her see reasons why you shouldn't pay. 7 Likes |

Don't give out a single dime, nor give her shishi.... Paying for what you did not use is injustice. If she's compelling you to pay, tell her you are not paying anything in a calm and convincing way. You nor go fear cow, come fear E shit join na... Haba!! 5 Likes |

You will have to pay everything You will pay security because even when you are not around the security guys didn't stop their work You will pay lawma because lawma bill is estimated bill, lawna won't reduce bill for the simol entire house because you are not around, except each room/flat is paying lawma bill separately then you can personally engage lawma You will pay nepa expect the house is using prepaid otherwise nepa will use number of room or flat to estimate bill 18 Likes |

oluwaseyi0: There's no single security. Stayed there for three months before moving to my mom's. Even the sweeping it's her young son of 13 that does it twice a week. And she collects 1k monthly for that. I just didn't say anything cos I felt the money will be used to encourage the young chap (although she collects 1k from all tenants). She having it tough with the other tenants and have even given them quit notice. Guess she wants to do the same to me. |

PlayMaker14: How is she not using it? The security keeps guiding all the apartment in my estate either you are around or not If you don't want to be a tenant simply pack out and let people who want to be tenant pack in, not that you will lock your room then lawma will continue to bring bill for the entire house or do you submit letter to lawma to reduce bill because you ain't around 5 Likes |

Pay for all except nepa Because since you said you have not been around for 6 months But if any of your device such as refrigerator was on all this while. You will have to pay. Security is a necessity even if you are around or not. Sweeping too. Don't stay in Lagos so don't really know about lawma 1 Like |

Re: Does She Have A Right? by oluwaseyi0: 6:16pm On Oct 22, 2022 |
Godmother: PlayMaker14: Saying you are not going to pay for security because there is no security and saying you are not going to pay because you are not around are two different things that shouldn't be mixed together If you are not going to pay because you can't see security personnel, simply engage her on that and you may have a point, don't expect you not been around to be an added advantage in that fight infact you not been around is more reason to pay security fee unless you met your room bugled Concerning sweeping if you (all tenants) feel she is overcharging engaged her in how to reduce it or better still bring in someone else to do the sweeping and you guys handle payment directly to the new sweeper Concerning NEPA you will still pay unless you can prove that NEPA actually brought in a reduced bill when you are not around compare to when you are around else you will be making other tenants add your own nepa bill to theirs I guess when you rent expires you will tell the landlady you were not around hence you won't renew the full house rent you will just pay 50% 5 Likes |

A house is meant for the protection and housing of LIVES and PROPERTY. If you haven't been in the house but your properties are in it, YES you are required to pay for all utilities necessary. However, you can ask for concession and out of your landlady's benevolence, she might afford you that privilege. 1 Like |

The only money you're supposed to pay is for security..... As for others, they are talking in the nonsense. Godmother:. Especially for the nepa bill. As long as you are using prepaid, you have no right to pay a dime for those months you were absent.. They even still owe you for the 3500 you paid, except you guys finished the unit before you left ..... If your landlady is dumb and stupid then call people to enlighten her.

Re: Does She Have A Right? by Richy4(m): 4:15pm On Oct 23, 2022 |
Tell your landlady that the electricity is prepaid... If she failed to understand what prepaid is, patiently explain the meaning of prepaid to her... I didn't even know what Lawma is.. But security, u have to pay for it... assuming u came back and realised that your door was broken into, and some properties were missing... What will come to your mind.. If your came back within 5 months and there was an infestation of rodents and other things.. even snakes or creepy millipedes... What will be your reaction? The payments are justified dear.. |

Regardless of your absence/presence, the service was rendered to you. You have to pay for it. It is like booking a flight, and you didn't go, then requesting a refund even though the flight departed. That kind of logic doesn't work. 2 Likes |
