Modified: This thread is for those who is/are sharing same flat/compound with landlord/landlady. I just wish to share my little experience, and it all happened back then, 2013 when I firstly moved to Abuja. An agent connected me to this Landlady, a single mother in her 60s. She was weird and she is an "I am always right" type. All the tenants opinions doesn't matter to her. She tried to conquer every body in that flat. I just kept avoiding her so as not to get myself into disrespecting her. What pained me most, is she totally stopped answering my greetings 2 months to rent expiration. I noticed She is preparing to change it for, should in case I bring any excuse for not renewing my rent. I jejely pack my stuffs and relocated to another environment one month to expiration, and promised not to ever live in a house where landlord and landladies are also living inside.

My landlord and his wife in my present place are like my elder sibling and his wife. 1. It started when I came to clean up the apartment before parking in, asked where I could buy sachet water for I was thirsty, my landlord whom I've never known asked me to go inside and take from his deep freezer. At that point I knew I had hit a jackpot in a good landlord. 2. After I got married, his wife bought me a set of pots. I took ill went to the hospital and came back that same dey. It wasn't like I was admitted. My landlord went and bought me provisions and bread. Many times they both have gifted us things. 3. He would even buy fuel with his money to pump water for free to neighbours who come to fetch. His mechanic even came to repair his car at home and whispered to me the words "this your landlord no get problem at all" Whether I'll pack from here for now is still a distant thought. He epitomizes a kind-hearted individual. All those passing through hell in the hands of their land lady or Lord una Pele ooo. 325 Likes 17 Shares |

Birdeyeview:My sister you are the luckiest woman on earth.. Twice I have lived with landladies, but all ended with regrets, and very common among the igbo landladies (sorry no offense), they always take minor mistakes/things very serious. And ready to cause drama with you for no reason. 59 Likes 1 Share |

I once lived in a compound where the Landlady was an elderly Bini woman, probably in her 60s. She would normally talk to me in Bini language whenever i greet her, while I'll just smile or say "well done ma" in response. Only problem was that I neither spoke nor understood a word of the language. This continued till about 4 months later when some friends came to celebrate with me after defending my thesis. She heard us gisting and talking loudly in Igbo, so she pulled me aside and asked what language I was speaking, I told her Igbo. Then she expressed her excitement tgat I could speak Bini and Igbo, then I told her I do not understand Bini at all. But she insisted I usually discuss with her in Bini, to which I countered that I've never said a word in Bini to her. The look on her face was gold, she said "your type fit kill person bury am inside room". She was a nice woman. Iye Sawese. 144 Likes 5 Shares |

Hell on earth and bliss as well. Growing up as a Landlord's son was blissful. We had access to our tenants apartment has they had to ours. My tenant's first daughter was exactly a year and a day older than me and we were mates in school. Each time my secondary school mates ask after my sister, they are referring to my tenant's daughter and vice versa to tell you how close we were. My other tenants were gracious too except for one who was introduced to is by a neighbor. Apparently, bros was lacking someone's daughter without protection. She got pregnant and they had to do some traditional stuff. This was before they moved in cos they came with a daughter and said they were going to the village for wedding that December. This couple drinks irresponsibly and fight almost all night. The height was one day, the idiots were slamming their two kids that they were going to kill them and go their separate ways. My parents had to inform the neighbor that introduced them to us. The couple were introduced to Chosen and a new dimension of craze started. They will hold vigil every night from 12am to 4am screaming at the top of their voice and disturbing the neighborhood. We had to evict them. We once had a tenant who did not pay for three years. It took my younger sister insisting for my dad to tell the man to quit. My dad kept understanding the man doesn't have money and one time, my sister found an apt she loved at OOU and the landlord gave her two days to pay. My parents gave her the money the following day but that experience for her, she was like we needed to do something. We got my mom on our side and dad had no other reason than agree with us. Imagine, man wey no get money dey carry woman come house come knack and sometimes leave the woman to stay days for apartment wey he rent and no pay. Lest I forget, most of our tenants moved into their own homes from ours and some did not pay for their last year. My personal experience was nice living with our friend in school whom we rented her basement. She is Ghanian and she loved cooking so it made life nice for us. Hell was let lose when she started showing interest in one of my roommate (flatmate) and she started acting funny. Another experience was a very nice decent apartment I rented at a time. My landlord stays home three days in a week but he could be touchy sometimes. The worst was this Indian landlord who lied to me he wasn't staying in the house meanwhile he was staying on the main floor while I rented a room in his basement. This man comes downstairs everyday to check our kitchen, bathroom, garbage and recycle bin etc. One day I got pissed off and I parked behind his car. Thank God I only signed a four month lease cos I was about finishing my program at the time. I barely slept at home because of him. 31 Likes 2 Shares |

I will say I have been very lucky with my landlords and landladies. Two different time I had to leave with owner of the houses I occupied and they were women. I was so close with the first one such that some people think I was one of her son. Unfortunately we lost her to accident about 15yrs ago, after which I left the house but myself and her children still call each other. She is from Obowo, imo state while I am from Ebira Kogi state. The second one is an ikwere woman. We were also very good to the point she did everything, including trying to get me an apartment within her area because I wanted a bigger space. To me, peaceful cohabitation is something both party should work toward achieving. more so, we need to know that some elderly people can be difficult to deal with but I always use a particular method, when there is difference I asked myself, let's assume my landlord/landlady is my parent how would I handle the situation? 68 Likes 4 Shares |

Wetin my eyes see I no fit talk am finish . You’re not allowed to bring in any type of visitor , even your own visitor . He disgraces other tenants like they stay at his house free , if he try me I go break him mouth . I noticed he has been saying a lot of bad things about me in my back so I scattered area , I burst bottle full everywhere ,as he come back from shop fear catch am . He locks the gate by 7:00 pm , just imagine that , I just jump his fence and smoke Arizona close to his window to annoy the hell out of him. The daughter started visiting me and that almost drove him insane . This man was a hot mess , could you believe he turns off the light when he leaves for his shop and throws the whole compound in darkness while everyone else is enjoying light . Do you know what I did , I used my gen always , from 7:00 pm to 7:00 am . He wanted to make life hell for me but i be original werey wey pass am . If he wants to top up the electricity, he buys like 500 Naira card , just imagine . I spent out of my personal pocket to keep the light running sometimes. If light spoil he will not even send , he’s busy fukcing around with this woman that sells palm wine , I caught them once banging close to this church around 8 pm , it wasn’t even dark enough yet and he’s too stingy to rent a guest house or hotel room for his extra marital affairs . I no fit talk wetin my eye see finish . To pump water nah wahala , light wahala . Visitors restricted . And you pay for the water and light with the house rent , why won’t he offer services we paid him for . As of recent the compound is empty , all the tenants packed one by one . He should enjoy his extra marital affairs and his greedy proceeds that doesn’t reflect anywhere in his whole life . Oga Kaojo, if you stumble upon this , From the bottom of my heart , I banged your daughter and nothing happened . And I hate you . Don’t move into any compound that the landlord lives in with you . Don’t take this advice at your own peril . 44 Likes 3 Shares |

Lol. Worst experience ever. My landlady was a jobless and useless woman. She had dogs that will always try to attack me after staying in the house for more than a year. One day, she wanted to travel, imagine this woman telling me to find somewhere to stay cos she can't leave her dogs alone. 21 Likes 1 Share |

Am I the only one that hasn't had issues with the Landord/Landlady while living in a house? My former landlady is a retired teacher who is currently into agriculture and each time she's around (downstairs, cos she stays upstairs) there are a lot of lessons to learn from her,she not even triablistic at all ,and there was a time she even loaned me 350k.She's happily married with 5 boys and few grandkids,her husband still alive too. Each time I'm visiting my former hood I always stop for a short visit with little gifts.I cant even remember a time I had issues with her.She owns the house,yet her humbleness would make you think it's her husband house. I noticed most times tenants refuse to abide by simple rules but are very easy to play victim cards ranting up and down, make we hear word abeg. Modified:I was just informed that she just passed away this Friday afternoon;the 20th of March 2020,may her gentle soul rest in peace, just so painful to me ![]() ![]() 80 Likes 3 Shares |
