RIP to the dead.

E no easy. Tenant or landlord.

Na wa o!

RIP to the dead .

Land lords should try to take things easy with their tenants o, things are hard these days.

Tenants should try to be considerate and pay their rents as soon as possible, most of these land lords depends solely on the proceeds from the rents for survival.

Be careful of going into any scuffle these period. People will take out the frustrations on the next person.

Don't live in the same compound with your landlord/Landlady. The experience is not always nice at all.

Honestly you wouldn't know how evil some tenants can be until you have one.

You will wish you never built the house.

The law in it's intention to protect tenants from wicked Landlords has now turned many of them into heartless monsters.

One will almost run mad seeing an unruly tenant who isn't paying rent still staying in the house 6 months after owing/ eviction notices.

Ask your lawyers, you'll see how difficult tenancy/landlord laws make homeowners' lives.

Avoid arguments and fight these days o.. Most persons are walking d**d cux of overthinking and hunger o..

If there was no physical alteration, I don't think the said tenant has any case to answer.

He could've considered the tenant situation, collect the meager and move on with his life. And unfortunately nobody have his present bank account in his new world. The tenant could probably be a Nigerian worker battling with N30,000 minimum wage to survive

Some tenants are just plain wicked. Even if the landlord says oya pay what you have if its 6 months they'll still owe.

Honestly we need a website for landlords where we can upload tenants pictures and our experience with them.

Many landlords are at an age they have illnesss they are managing. And it's this rent they use to buy drugs to manage them. Tenants getting them agitated spikes the blood pressure and that's how people die fast.

Economy is bad yes but its bad for landlords also. Pack to your village if you can't afford city rent or go to live under bridge.

Peace to the fallen.

That tenant must be the cause of his death, her name is precious.😰

Which one is suspected murder case

What goes around comes around.

He must surely be among those who voted Tinubu.

He might have gotten tired or fatigue

Rip to the dead

The landlord maybe hypertensive and knowing this shouldn't engage in BP inducing brawls and arguments.


Everyone should learn to make their points cooly and calmly.

There are many ways of solving issues.

Shouting bouts aren't cool.

If there's recorded evidence of a threat to life during the argument, that tenant needs a very sound lawyer or he's going to jail. Nigerian Police no wan sabi whether him touch landlord or not.

Engage the services of a lawyer to do your talking so you can save yourself from heart attack, Rip.

Agreed. As long as the tenant did not touch him whatsoever or send anyone to hurt him physically, the tenant has no business with police case.

That's why it's always wise to run away from physical alterations or scuffles. You never know who is healthy or of sound mind.
