Good Evening fellow Nairalanders, my Landlord gave me 7 days quit notice to vacate his building a day after my house rent expired, I was hoping to renew the rent on Monday, Please I want to reply him telling him that I pay rent annually and therefore can't be given a week to vacate his building, please can any lawyer in the house help me to compose such a letter. Thank you. 1 Like

Without reading the story i knew it was in Nigeria. Here, it takes 1 year and 2 months to evict a tenant from your house, and those 1 year and 2 months is without rent. Telling your tenant to vacate within 1 week only happens in a lawless country 46 Likes 1 Share |

You didn't give details of your tenancy agreement. Was there any clause like 'one-year certain' or 'eviction if you do so-so'? If there isn't, you have a case. Reply the lawyer, telling him that under Tenancy Laws, you are entitled to six months notice as long as you pay yearly. If he plays stubborn, get a lawyer. 27 Likes |

Lawyers will usually charge a fee for what you are asking for, besides they know what best to tell your landlord's lawyer and not what you have just asked for. 1 Like |

Allow him to serve you the court summons then you meet him in court. Notice to Quit and an Owner's Intention to Apply to Recover Possession (otherwise called 7days notice) are two separate documents which should be served separately. From the snapshot, I can see he merged both the quit notice and 7days notice together. That is very wrong. By the way, did you sign any tenancy agreement before you moved in? If so, did you read the terms of the agreement? 20 Likes |

Go and see him first and here from him, If he still insist on you leaving within seven days just get yourself a lawyer also and discuss your case with him. Though some tenant can be so heartless likewise also landlord so I won't blame any of u now. 3 Likes |

Hello, please check your Tenancy Agreement. If it has the words TERM CERTAIN then I'm sorry by law all the landlord is required to give you is seven days. If the words don't feature then as a yearly tenant you are entitled to six months notice. Even if you are a tenant at will. There are decided cases up to the Supreme Court on this issue. You should have had a lawyer read your agreement before signing. It's usually a land mine set by lawyers for ignorant tenants. I rescued a lady recently from signing such an agreement recently. The best you can do is plead with your landlord for an extended time which he may generously give. If not he is backed by law. Check your Tenancy Agreement. 8 Likes |

My brother Nassarawa is very far but I believe it has to do with tribal issues too because I can see ur name is Festus or thereabout and obviously the house owner might be an hausa man too Well if you can get a good lawyer now as you have paying your rents regularly, the fact that he even sent you this, I congratulate you my brother, if you get a sound lawyer, you can stay in a free house till when 'YOU' feel like leaving GOOD SOUND NON TRIBAL LAWYER (better still get a lawyer who is of your tribe, use your language tell am say them want cheat you ni, leave the rest for him 3 Likes 1 Share |

elbukaze:since you are ready to pay your rent on Monday, meaning you have the cash with you I believe you can get another apartment withing another one week if you get an agent instead of paying a lawyer or digging it out with your landlord... Just get another apartment and leave peacefully and I assure you as you leave you leave all your pains and sorrows behind, it's well..... 6 Likes 1 Share |

He is to give you 6 months notice, then 7 days notice. Get a lawyer to get an injunction to counter that order. The judge who gave such an order can get into trouble for it. Petition the NJC. 1 Like 1 Share |
