I Just Spent 1year And The Landlady Served Me Notice To Quit. What Should I Do? by Worthydefender: 12:20pm On Oct 27, 2019
I was born and grew up in Lagos State and I moved from my parent house to stay on my own then I married with a kid now.
I moved into new apartment in the year 2018 and to my surprise this morning, 27th of October 2019, the landlady knocked my door and what I saw when I opened the door was white envelop, she handed it to me and left. I opened it and read through, my eyes opened widely as I saw Notice To Quit. I have done nothing and no reason is stated in the letter.
I became weak and didnt even know what to do for a while then i think i should share my shocking experience with my amiable family on nairaland.
When I packed in, I noticed many unreasonable things like ; 1000 naira for pumping of water every month and this doesn't include PHCN bill cos we use prepaid.
The box that contained the pumping machine switch would be locked and we still pay every month. I protested against that peacefully till I was given a key to have access to pump the water.
I later heard from different people who have left the house that that is how they do till they will frustrate the tenant out of the house.
I dont really know what to do, I need your reasonable advice please.

My dear, just leave.

You will not prosper if you stay in an abusive compound.

Nothing like a peaceful home and a sweet rest

Uncle just pack and go.. It Not worth the stress.. Staying in a house where you are not wanted can be a nightmare. It Not worth it at all. I have been there I know how it feels.. Once a landlord doesn't like you.. It time to leave.

Just look for another better apartment for the sake of your family . A friend also had similar experience. I advised him to leave and he left. Fortunately for him, he met a good new landlord who even decided not to collect agreement and commission from him. Just house rent alone

Since it is a Lady that own the house, she might be jealous of your wife, probably the way you take care of her. Fear women!

You were kicked out for objecting her actions in her own house (e.g the 1k pumping of water).
ADVICE: MOVE OUT

Since she didn't state any reason, don't go back asking her anything. Pretend as if nothing happened but put yourself together and leave. who knows tomorrow?

Just leave cuz it's obvious the woman is ready for a showdown with you if you are adamant undecided
She go use the plan B which is (spiritual) to deal with you.

Try to move out within that space of 6-month bro. Women can be so callous when in power especially landladies. This is merely physical now, don't wait till it gets spiritual.

God is gradually answering your prayers you dey vex. Such kind of landlady can be diabolic. God is working on a better 2020 for you already. Some disappointments are blessings in disguise.

It is quite interesting to see that everyone that gave their opinion so far suggested you leave. Most even attributed it to God either directing the op or that God will handle it.

I think we have become a nation of sheep, our leaders have succeeded in breaking our spirits to the extent we can't even ask for clarification on why our rights are being trampled upon. Or demand to know why we were been kicked out of place where we live legally and has been paying for.

Just imagine we couldn't even dare ask a landlord or landlady to explain the reason for their actions. And with this state of mind how are we ever going to stand up to our oppressors?

For those who care to reason asking why you are being thrown out is not something that must be done out of spite or out of anger. You can still do it in a calm and mature way and get answers.

When you start asking questions as regards your rights you start getting answers as you start getting answers you become well informed. Information is one of the essential tools of breaking out from oppression.

For instance, I have seen on this forum how some people asked questions and was able to get the "almighty" NPHC people to sit up and do their job.

The #1000 is called service charge. In some Estates they pay nothing less than a #100K per month for security, light, water, etc.

If Estates charge, why won't your landlady charge for service and make little profit. She sees U as a threat that is threatening her service charge.
