my question is, does the tenant need NOT pay rent during the period of the notice? |
Re: Legal Rights Of A Rent Tenants And Some Unlawful Acts Often Done By Landlords by BabaTony: 1:54pm On Jun 28, 2015 |
What if a tenant refuses to pay at the expiration of the rent? Is the landlord left in limbo? How can he recover his rent? Its not easy to build a house and expect people to live in free just because one wants to obey the law. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

[quote author=younglawya post=35242672]Most tenants Don't know their rights in Nigeria. The summary of the process in eviction of a tenant from the landlords property is 1. Provision of a 6 month quit notice( applicable for a yearly tenant) 2. After that, if the tenant refuses to leave the premises, the landlord issues a 7 days Notice of owners intention to recover posession. 3. If the tenant refuses to leave, the landlord goes to court and issues a Writ for recovery of premises. This writ has to be served on the Tenant. The tenant thus has to go to court. THIS PROCEDURE TAKES ALMOST A YEAR. If any landlord does not follow this procedure he will be in trouble with the Law. Op how do I handle a Landlord who counts 11 months as a year instead of 12months. For instance I paid 27th of september and he wrote "to expire 31st August" when I protstd he said dat's how he counts his own. Now he has told me to look for another house because he what to make use of my apartment. So what do I do. Should I mak cas |

BabaTony: That's why we have the court. When application for debt recovery is filed against the said tenant, the court can recovery the expired rents whether by ceasing and selling some properties of the said tenant. |
Re: Legal Rights Of A Rent Tenants And Some Unlawful Acts Often Done By Landlords by benarex(m): 2:15pm On Jun 28, 2015 |
BabaTony: Where a tenancy has expired, the tenant is not to be given the notices as expressed above but one week notice which is otherwise called owner's intention to recover possession. And from the period the tenancy expired to the period the tenant actually gave up possession, the tenant will be required to pay what is called mesne profit. So there's no law that entitles a tenant to live free of charge. |

[sub][/sub]j wisdomguy4u: Hmmm, thats a long one because we all know how the courts run in naija. Probably that's why the landlords have to take laws into their hands, some tenants are just terrible, they intentionally don't pay and just live in the property free and one day just disappear! |

yorubaboiy: So sorry about your situation with your tenants, some of them can be very frustrating. If they become landlords tomorrow and begin to suffer the same fate, they should not complain. I pray God gives them a change of heart. |

wisdomguy4u: Ok what abt a situation where you pay for a tenancy agreement and none is given to you, there are problems in the house like plumbing, flooding in the house when it rains, and water leakages from the roof. You call the agent but no one comes until d last two weeks of ur tenancy and till now the problems still abound especially the plumbing which causes terrible smells in d house as if the soakaway is in the house. These problems have been going on thru out the supposed 1yr tenancy. Can d tenants sue for compensation? Till date no tenancy agr was given n it appears d money 4 day has gone? |

Hmm pls I ve a case like this... My rent expired in April I asked the landlord to give me one month to take salary and complete the with the one I have and pay the rent. A week after we had this discussion the agent sent me a quit notice, being confidence of my ability to pay I ignored and two weeks later the landlord asked me to pay half so that it will enable me to look for another house which I comply and paid him 175k which is the supposed half think by November I will look for another house cos honestly I'm tired of the rules in the compound cos u can't come home past 10pm u will be locked out by the gateman and the dogs in the compound are very destructive as well.. They eat visitors shoes and can climb the burglary anytime to do one thing or the other.... So a week after I paid the half which is 175k I came back from the office and met a court notice on my door requesting I show up in court by July 6...at this point I lost it nd confront the landlord which he said he wants me out cos u threaten to kill his dogs but on the court notice he mention several lies including me not able to pay rent for the past year till date among few they mentioned there which futunately I have all my receipts and bank tellers of payment from the inception till date. Now am due to appear in court and I don't know how to go about it.. I need a lawyer and an advise.... I ve all the tellers of payment till this last one and audio recording of my calls with his agent and himself.. I think I ve enough evidence to pull tru... But my question is can u evict somebody that have an active rent.... Cos I'm confused... 1 Like |

INTROVERT:what the law states is a 6months notice. So as a landlord,and you want your tenant to pack out.you issue him a notice of 6months while his rent for 1yr is at the 6month..whereby his remaining 6months also count to his notice.because law states 6months notice.so wen ever it is given does not matter.but shld be on the expiration of the rent |
