Please don't mislead the op. That's how a former tenant of mine thought the 6months notice to quit was free.
When I demanded for rent for the 6months period, guyman refused to buy and even took me to court.

Can't forget the shock on his face when the court instructed him to pay up

That's because your tenant ran down his tenancy & you probably issued your notice 6 months before his tenancy expiry date. In OP's case, he only has to pay till the expiry of his current tenancy (which he said he has done already).

After that date (December according to him), he isn't obliged to pay.

Which kain right you wan know, you owe person money you still want claim right

haha. .ce d way u rush am. .u didnt even read wt he wrote. .hes nt owin hm

If you think you are entitle for 6months .it now means you will pay for it,not free.And there is another law that say 7day after expiration of your rent.My candid advice to you is to find a house and move ,to avoid if have known

nawa for you, your rent expires in dec 30th, so you either renew or pack out, paying for rent does make you the owner of the house, move to a place where the landlord doesnt depend on rent to survive.

if you want to live in his house forever just go to court and get injunction asking you to stay till you get another house then you will live as much you can just do it and thank me later

the man gave you three months notice for two reasons,one you are a yearly Tenant and secondly to give you enough time to park. The only thing that landlord wants is his money,just give him 1year rent and case close and if he disturbs you once your rent is still counting just ignore him,he can't pack you out all of a sudden its procedure.

Op your landlord has right to issue you a quit notice. Only snag I see is that it appears jt is not upto 6 months. In that case, just approach him to make it 6 months, that if you really need 6 months. Otherwise, get another place and move.
If you go to court, I assure you that you may have the time extended, but bear in ind you will still be expected to settle the rent up untilq the last dat you vacated.
Lastly, do understand that relationship matters in life.

Listen to me very well, IGNORE HIM AND HIS LETTER! That's all. Again, I tell you, IGNORE HIM! He can't do jack!! Just be sure you're not spiritually lame, so he doesn't jazs you if he's an alfa or diabolical in some way.

If he comes to make noise in your house, ignore him again and again and again. If he constitutes a nuisance, tell him you don't have the money to move yet. If he touches anywhere in your home, removes a window pane or padlocks anywhere, take a picture of the place first, report to the police about burglary and your suspect (the landlord), then get their permission to enter.

If he tries nonsense again, warn him you'll have him arrested. Listen to me. The property at this moment is yours, not his. He has handed it to you in lieu of money. That's what is called rent. If he trespasses the property he rented to you, he has trespassed your right. No one can eat his cake (rent money) and still have it. The property can only revert to him when your money expires, and even then he should get a legal document (eviction notice from the court) if he cannot be patient for you to leave peacefully and at your convenient time.

Stop being afraid of any landlord. The property he rented to you is yours at the moment! Quit notice is his own pocket. Don't tell him anything, when he's tired he'll go and get eviction notice from the court. Don't teach him what to do. The court will call you. You go honour the call and tell them you don't have money to relocate at this moment. The court will ask you how long you think you can get money to leave. Tell them 8 months. Then in 6 months or less, you leave. Never give the Shylock a hint of your moves. Keep him in the dark!

That's the rubbish they do now. They'll start backdating quit notice in order to escape the 6 months requirements. Just ignore him! Last last, he will humble and negotiate with you. You can submit the trash and weightless paper of no consequence he called quit notice to a lawyer though. But don't pay too much attention to him. It's in the past they used to intimidate people with OPC, everyone knows their right now!!!

MODIFIED: Most of the guys telling you 6 months is not free are shylock landlords like yours or their children. Rent default is not a criminal offence, it falls under civil law. He can only take you to court, and he cannot do jack again. If you don't have money, you don't have money. Tell him to give you time. That's all. If he breaks part of your home or padlocks it, that's under criminal law and you can get him arrested. The power is with you as long as there's an existing relationship between you as landlord and tenant.

your landlord is smart and civilize, he knows the law that is his reason for giving the quit notice 3month ahead of enforcement date.
you can be served quit notice the same day you paid one yr rent or on the day your rent expires and the court will uphold it in as much as you are considered to have been given a reasonable time to adjust to the new development in addition to your landlords ability to provide the court with reasonable evidence to justify his action.

SolutionMee:

If I were you, I'll learn from your landlord, work hard and build my own apartment. The only right you have is to learn to be an independent lady. You're not supposed to be living in his house for free. Nothing comes free in life. Please change your mentality.

u are very stupid. The way u pple talk some times marvel me. Them tel u say to build house easy?or shey him say him no go build? So one is asking for immediate solution and ur telling him to learn. Learn from now till January?

I have accepted that I will leave, I am not even enjoying the place any longer but one month is not fair na.

Since you want to leave, don't drag this oga. You have November, you have December and January to get a better place. Avoid all these troublemakers for your own sake sef. Sometimes, the law is set aside for commonsense and peace sake

Hello Nairalanders!

I am just another young Nigerian who resides in Lagos still struggling, hustling and chasing my dreams.

Unfortunately, I have a selfish Landlord. He asks for money all the time, I cooperated last year and each time he does ask, I find something for him.
This year I want to be much more prudent with my expenses and I only want to pay for my rent when it is due because if I continue the same way, I might end up paying 5 years upfront and that means I am working just to satisfy my rather selfish Landlord.

Here comes the hurdle, my rent will be due by December. My Landlord just served me a quit notice to vacate my apartment by January next year, only a month after my rent must have expired.

I pay my rent annually and will like to know what my rights are in a situation like this.

I know and accept that I will definitely vacate his property but how long more does the law permit me to stay and make arrangement for the next place to move in.

Once again the quit notice was served to me today to vacate by January, 2019. My rent is still active and expires December 30, 2018.

I am counting on lawyers in the house and experienced Nairalanders to put me through on my next move. I think I should be entitled to 6 months stay after the expiration of my rent by law to make arrangement to move i.e June 2019.
Am I right? can someone just throw me out of his property by January when my rent expires by December?

I am not sure the rightful section to put this thread, the mod please do the needful so this gets enough exposure so people can contribute, I just want to get the right information so no one can mess with my rights.
Thank You!

just find a way and get a new house, i was once in your shoes sometime last year. my landlord said we must take an oath because some business men in the compound was practicing ritual like things and i refused to join them for the oath taking, i only told him to give me one month to pack out, and i paid for another rent after the one month, although the man started calling me saying bla bla bla.
believe you me , the place i live now is like paradise on its own capacity, water and light 24hrs.
i never regretted leaving that shithole of a house, although i was the person that dis virgined the house but still they have serious issue with light and water which are the basic amenities of life.JUST GET A NEW HOUSE AND AVOID THE STRESS OF GOING TO COURT,MY TAKE

Your only right is to look for another house before January. Your landlord is within his right. Your landland has seen it all like me and is trying to avoid "free rent" tenants.

going to tribunal court wont help. is either you find another apartment or be ready to face the YORUBA JAS.... GUY run for your dear life and safe yourself the HAD I KNOW

qwertyboss:
Just take that letter with you to any tribunal court and lay down your complain to them because according to constitution, a tenant is entitled to six months notice after his tenancy had expired. Be wise and open your eyes if not your land lord will cheat you! Take vehement step ahead of him. A stitch in time time, saves nine!

jumpandpas:


Since you pay annually, the law permits 6 months. This six months is not for free oo, the law states that you also pay for those months but you can negotiate it with your landlord.


MY FINAL ADVICE

If you have money just park out.

The law permits six months... YES. But it only applies in the absence of a signed tenancy agreement.
If the tenant signed one, then the law will honor the agreement signed.

I am not a lawyer but I know you are e ntittled to 6months notice if you are on yearly payment.. pls get a lawyer to respond to the notice served to you.

Fact:
you are entitled to a six months notice which could be served at anytime as long as it expires at a time when your rent has expired.
The notice given to you is apparently inadequate.
If you don't have the money to move now before January, you don't have to do anything, just be saving your money. He cannot use self help to evict you or throw your things out. That's illegal and a crime which he could be arrested for. If he harrasses you in any way, disconnects your electricity or water, even after January, just go to the police station and report. You are a sitting tenant, with rights to peaceable possession, even when your rent is due within not more than 1 year. The law protects you.
If by January you have not left, he will go to the police station at Anthony to report you. They will advise him on what to do, that is give you proper clear 6 months notice, before they can do anything. Those police guys are nice and don't like dealing with rent matters. I know that first hand.

If you want to fight it, you stand a good chance for that extra time. The law is clear, if you're a yearly tenant your 6 months notice should be neat and complete. You don't need to get a lawyer to respond. Dont even respond. The lawyer that prepared that notice is either ignorant or just trying his luck with scare tactics.

But if you don't want wahala and you have the money to move, just walk away.

You can contact me for more free advise.

op

you want claim right for another person property?

better be making arrangements on how to park out in peace before the expiration of the quit notice date

or better still go and plead with him to extend it or free style the notice

because if na me be landlord, you want come claim right for my property

I go make sure you even park out on the eve day your rent expires

or else I will trow you out by force, and await the consequences,

no consequences though, because its my property

just little court injunction that I can settle with money

you can't come to my house and claim law

This is wrong. You are wrong. My guess is you are not a lawyer or law student so don't give wrong advice to the tenant. The law allows the landlord to give a tenant with annual tenancy 6 months notice to quit, and this must not necessarily come at the expiration of the tenancy. Often, it comes 6 months to the expiration of the tenancy. Now, lawyers have gotten a way around this law. It doesn't necessarily entails given the tenant a 6 months notice to quit in the event that the landlord wants to recover the premises from the tenant. The practise now is to give the tenant a fixed one year tenancy which also serves as a notice to quit if there is no agreement between the tenant and the landlord to renew the tenancy for another term. I will advice the tenant here to go through the tenancy agreement. If it is a one year fixed tenancy, what the landlord need do is to commence eviction proceedings in a court of law by serving the tenant a 7 days Owner's Intention to Reclaim Possession at the expiration after which he will file the statement of claims. If it is not a one year fixed tenancy, the lawyer goofed by giving him a month notice to quit. The relevant document here is the tenantancy agreement signed by the parties at the start of the tenancy. Please see a lawyer.

Bro just look for other alternative. Don't waste ur resource & time. Even if u take him to court & u win. Just remember those landlord won't let u go like that before he jazz u and u start visiting spiritualist for solution. Some time God uses some people to save other situations.

You just 'spoke' my mind. OP, insisting on those 6 months entitlement will not allow you to have peace of mind. It's not worth it.

I place a high premium on my peace of mind. I advise you to tow the honourable path and get another place. This struggle you're planning is not worth your while believe me.

BTW if it was your property how would you want to be treated irrespective of provisions of law?

No vex, I'm being candid just as you requested

Loool...

Two of my My tenants on my Ikeja property have been owing me rent for 2 years and refused to leave so I am taking it through the court which is a painfully slow process. I charge them 500k per annum on premium GRA property but they still can’t meet up!!


Bro, your landlord also has responsibilities but if you’ve been a responsible tenant and pay your rent when due, then you might wanna talk to a lawyer. Shouldn’t cost more than 50k to get a court injunction imploring him to halt on eviction till your rent expires (According to lagos tenancy laws, you also have a grace period of 6 months if you rent contract indicated annual tenancy).

I would like to see pics of this apartments..Looking for a place.

Thank you.

I just want to be sure I am on the right side of Law.

Refer him to section 13 subsection 1c of the Lagos tenancy law 2011 as amended
6 months according to the law

Everybody has a wicked landlord until they build their own house.


. . As if the landlord too isn't trying to survive in Lagos. Na wa for entitlement to another man's property.

Go and pay

Bro, get urself together & look out 4 an alternative, if ur rent expires by December, then I don't c ur landlord as selfish, remember u will become a landlord too, try & pull ur available resources 2gether to get a better apartment, don't even try to take him to court if unless u already have an alternative, be wise bro, cheers........

abeg follow the voice of reason....100yrs in a Landlord house will expire just one day

may you have the wisdom to pray unto God...the Alpha & omega to make you the next landlord!

For not giving you up to six months as the law require, take him to EFCC for Corruption
