Fair enough Mr hard worker who thinks others don't work hard too. Not everyone is greedy. I choose to help people rather than extort money off them.

Hello NLs

I type this message with a very confused and worried heart because i don't know what to do next, I had financial challenges after loosing my job in 2008, I had to cut down on my living so i moved from my 2bedroom flat in Ifako Ijaye to a room and parlor house off AIT road, Alagbado, I am married with 2 kids and we live together here, we are the last of 5 tenants, my second year rent just ended February 2016 ( Last month), I owe no house rent nor electricity bill nor lawma bills.


I was able to manage my home with my farm management job. My landlord arrived by late January from London, Uk where he is based and said i should not bother paying this year's rent that we should all pack out of the house, He said some two tenants who have been in the house for many years owes him money and they also don't pay bills, he wants to send everyone packing and he gave us just 5 DAYS to move, I explained to him that i have not gathered enough money to rent new place, He said he will refund a year rent for me which is 60k (5k monthly for the 2 rooms). I was satisfied because i had about N50,000 in my account and i have been planning to move out of this out because i am not recording any progress since i moved in. I believe i could get another place with that amount. He did not promise the others any help before he left.


The two oldest tenant that have stayed for about 7 years told us after he left that he will still come back to collect the rent, that is his usual method whenever he comes around. He has been telling them to vacate the house since first year they moved in, To cut the story short, I started looking for a place and i got a place, I called him for the 60k promise to add to what i have to pay the rent. He started posting me until i got tired of calling him only for him to surface again on Sunday 13th of March after a month plus with a bricklayer, they started blocking the back door with bricks, he said everyone must move out, after much pleading, he blocked off the two old tenants while they hurriedly move out their belongings, their belongings still litter around the compound, he blocked off the toilet bath and kitchen and he brought an electrician to disconnect the light.


We are now left in darkness with no bathroom toilet and kitchen. He said he is coming back again for the rest of us by Friday 18th of March with OPC to move us out. I pleaded with him that i have gotten a new place that he should give me the money he promised so i can pay for the place and move in there before friday. He said NO, he insisted that i will have to pack my properties outside first before he can give me the money. The people who live on the same street with us started coming in with different stories of how the man has ejected tenants in the past, How he sometimes bring in Nigerian Army to throw people out, How he is heavily charmed, How he has placed charms on the four corners of the house and people started dying until they moved out, Although i don't believe that any evil power can overcome me, i am not afraid of charms because i serve a living God. They said that is how he usually promise people he thinks can resist him and he will suddenly storm the house and move them out. They were telling me with assurance that he will not give me a dime. I am concerned about him coming with who ever he has in his plan to throw my belongings out when i don't have anywhere to go or money to get another place. I do not owe this man any rent, I still have the teller i used to pay the last rent into his account. He has not served me any letter or quit notice.


Please mods i plead with you to help me move this to front-page so i can get advice and possible help. I don't know exactly where to post this but please help me move it to the right session. I need to act fast before he comes in 2 days (Friday). I am planning to tweet this link to as many people as possible. I will appreciate all the help and advise i can get, I can't imagine to be homeless with my family.

My sister you have got to buy court order coupled with paid soldiers
Take the law into your hand most of them can not afford to hire a lawyer

tete7000:


If you serve a living God he will surely come to your aid at the nick of time. Pray and relax for he says ' Do not be anxious about tomorrow, tomorrow will take care of itself'. I am very certain God doesn't disappoint. He won't allow his anointed ones to suffer disgrace and shame. Keep faith in him and look up to him.

kaziblake:
This one is actually a woman,a very stubborn one.
1yr and 3month free,my mum helped her because she and her husband were having problem.
She is saying she will go anytime she likes.
I would have told my mum about this op because we have empty rooms but she already vowed not to help again.

Thanks,i will tell my mum.

Ghandi12:


Storming your tenant's place is a crime and can send you to jail.




He has diabolical powers yet he still needs to oppress his tenants to augment his income. He should have been using the powers to make money instead. This Landlord or any other landlord is subject to the law of land on tenancy.

Larryjay4u:
Bro, how much do you have as we are talking? I live close to your area and we can quickly get a small apartment to rent. Then you can begin to discuss other things with the Landlord. Guys let come together to help.

I can volunteer to visit his house and verify things after which we can make the needed support today or latest tomorrow.

applemark:
sorry i keep commenting one everyones comment, its just i hate bad tenants, they are all over the place, my tenant in the UK same, and its quite common with Nigerians, once you pity them they take the pi$$! and these are the same tenants that will go to church on sunday crying to God to help them and yet they making other people's live miserable....... God punish all bad tenant! you all shall experience the miseries you put good landlords through!

macaranta:
Do you want to fight him with your whole family?Move your family to a relative's for the Main time while you negotiate 6-months rent with a better landlord explaining your current predicament.
Sometimes when God tries to move you out of a barren land,don't fight it.

paulsconnect:
He wants to throw you out ?... Throw him in na

Judas2013:


Lol when you know god ain't real. Basically you meant you can't help him?

mysteriousman:
Did he give you any written notice to vacate the house 6 months before the expiration of your rent? If he didn't then take the matter to court. That will buy you time or you can plead with him any option you fit choose

Teespice:
first of all you are a yearly tenant which means that your landlord going by the provisions of the tenancy laws of lagos state is meant to give you six months notice. he ran foul of that when he gave you five days notice. you are not a weekly tenant na. weekly tenants even get seven days notice.

him resorting to self help by threatening to call OPC as well as blocking certain areas of the house with brick is trespass on your landlords part. you can sue him for damages. a tenant has certain rights one of which is freedom from unreasonable disturbances and right to privacy as well as the right to use and enjoy the common areas of the house which in this case is the back door.

he has no right to disconnect your electricity nor your water supply. it is a clear breach of his obligations as a landlord.

you have a good case against him.

hope this helps. cheers.
