ShoProperties: Better look for another house before you start signing something you won't be able to carry on with. Landlord pays tenement rate and land use charges. Your duty is to pay your house rent, Nepa bill, waste bill....and if you like pay for repairs that are affordable. ...don't be desperate to get into a contract u will regret |

It's called land use charge and not land ownership or property ownership charge// or tax. Whoever is using the property at any point in time is responsible for the land use charge unless the landlord decides to take responsibility. |
Re: Who Is To Pay Tenement Rate: Landlord Or Tenant? by Jabioro: 1:52pm On Jan 18, 2020 |
suco01:So under the new land use charges it tenant duty to pay tenament ...You are not serious..I am a landlord.. |
Re: Who Is To Pay Tenement Rate: Landlord Or Tenant? by suco01(m): 1:55pm On Jan 18, 2020 |
Jabioro: it is to be paid by both landlord and tenant using the property at the time notice is served. Your being landlord means nothing to me |

[quote author=azpekuliar post=85897893]The Tenement rate is a tax on the occupation of property not the ownership of property. You may own a property and not live there, so the responsibility to pay the Tenement Rate then becomes that of the tenant. However, if the property is owner-occupied then the landlord/owner pays the Tenement Rate. The Tenement Rate is a critical source of revenue for Local Governments. However in Lagos, the State Government usurped the powers of the LGAs to demand and collect Tenement Rates, by promulgating the Land Use Charge through it’s House of Assembly. So the Tenement rate, Ground rent and Neighborhood Improvement Charge were all fused together to become the Land Use Charge (to the chagrin of the LGAs) and landlords became primarily responsible for it’s payment, not tenants. Now there are so many properties in Lagos that have not yet been enumerated or captured in the LUC database so they are currently not being assessed yet for LUC payment. Properties in this category are most likely still being assessed for the old Tenement Rate so the tenant(s) or whoever is in occupation is expected to still pay the rate to the coffers of their LGA office. [/quuote] Regardless of the numenclature, a tenancy agreement can stipulate who pays what, if the agreement places the responsibilty of payment on the tenant and it is not acceptable to the tenant, the tenant can decide not to rent the house. In Lagos, demand and supply determines a whole lot. |

azpekuliar:All these you wrote are gibberish...na landlord dey pay tenament rate. He owns d house. Tenement rate are land used charges for use of land. The landlord used d land to build a house to make money, he is d one using the land. So stop trying to use big English here to confuse people. 5 Likes |

TechSpot: This is Wrong sir. Land Use Charge and Tenement rate are the same. It’s called Land Use Charge in Lagos State. It’s called Tenement Rate in most of the other states, if not all. Both are taxes for lease of the land from the Owner (the Governor) or (Minister in FCT) - and they are TO BE PAID BY THE LANDLORD, not the Tenant. 1 Like |

Re: Who Is To Pay Tenement Rate: Landlord Or Tenant? by ABSTRUSE: 2:52pm On Jan 18, 2020 |
It depends on the Lease or Tenancy Agreement. If a tenant has agreed, in the lease/tenancy agreement, to pay the tenenment rate, he wil be estopped from stating otherwise. If not stated, the landlord should pay. |

ShoProperties: Tenement rate is the duty of the landlord. However, most landlords pass on the burden on their tenants |
Re: Who Is To Pay Tenement Rate: Landlord Or Tenant? by pacespot(m): 3:26pm On Jan 18, 2020 |
The power of demand and supply determines a lot, but I see those market women renting shops paying tenement rate. I haven't heard of tenement rate in a residential house. |
Re: Who Is To Pay Tenement Rate: Landlord Or Tenant? by abbey621(m): 3:34pm On Jan 18, 2020 |
If that's what is in the agreement then you must abide or find somewhere else. This is not by force, you've read the agreement so better be sure before you sign. Even if it is the landlord that pays, if your agreement states otherwise then you must abide, DON'T TRY TO BE SLICK! |
