@Bigsam. Your position demands more explanation. Did you authorize your brother/uncle to manage the property on your behalf? Did you authorize them to put in the tenants? Did you give them any power/authority in respect of the property? If answer to the above is yes, then you are bound by their actions, whether the money was collected with your knowledge/consent or not. They are deemed to be your agents. So you must give them quit notice to vacate. Except of course you had expressly warned/prohibited the tenants against paying rent to them or anybody without your consent. |

Ignorant is not a reason to the rule of law. We all will agree that may so call landown take ad-vatages of people desperation of where to stay on them. Not long ago, infact 4Th Dec 2009 my landlord in my house where hi school (NIGER DELTA UNIVERSITY,WILBERFORCE ISLAND,BAYELSA) give out the house of one of our Nibor this year October while her rent suppose to exp on 31st Nov, unfortunately for her, she is in Biological Science final and her defending day was posted to 16Th this mouth of Dec 2009. It was not supprising to any one of alls when our landlord call and ask her if she has move her things because the new person that have pay for the house is ready to move in. Let me ask all you in Nairaland First, who do we need to blame? The girl that pay for the rent and was told that some body is still living inside both Will level at the end of the mouth (Nov) and she will enter Dec 1st or she that aspect to really level wit out a fight?. We need a law that will protect student in the higher institution because we are really begin oppress here in WILBERFORCE ISLAND. |

Austin234: Please stop asking Erastus to throw more light cos the light he has been throwing based on his knowledge from the 'borrowed course' is murky and disastrous. Please listen to and ask bigfoot79. He is correct in the few posts of his I just read. nonyefanope: Lawyers in the house stand for justice. A landlord is entitled to his rent. Madam please make arrangement to pay for the three (3) months rent please. Under the law of our land Nigeria, it is not possible to spend even one month in another persons house and not pay rent. The caretaker will only be diligent and not greedy. femo80: You have stayed 5 months without paying rent? Anyway, the position of the law is that if you owe rent for 3 months then you become a statutory tenant and you are only entitled to 7 days notice of owners intention to recover possession of premises. And yes, you will still pay the rent you are owing |

omooghene1: Your post is not very clear however I can make out the issue to be that while the tenancy of one student was subsisting the landlord gave the same apartment out to someone else. My question is... Was the apartment rented by the first girl rented on sessional basis? Am aware that in some academic environments some rents are done per session. However, there is no rational for a landlord to rent an apartment currently occupied by a tenant out to another person. Such tenants are fully protected by the national/ state laws governing tenancy. There need not be a specific set of rules for students |
