Paying with your money for an uncompleted building project when you want to move in ASAP is suicide. I had a nasty experience many years ago in Jos.

I don't want to say more.

hahaha... who does that?

My own happen during my year one, though the man I rented the room from wasn't the direct landlord, he rented 3 bedroom flat, then he allocated one room to his brother, so when he was short of cash, he told his brother to look for someone he can share the room with! And I was looking for a roommate, along the line my cousin inform me about the accomodation so I ask her to go and check since she was in school! She did and told me the place is OK! after every arrangement I transfer the money to her and she make the payment! Fast forward to the day I park in, with my luggage and food items, I met the guy I will be staying with, he is also a student! He show me round the house, to the restroom, bathroom, kitchen! and i drop my bag, and I went to school, could you believed when I came back, the landlady, not the real landlady came into our room open my bag, the one that contain food stuff, inspect everything I brought, then remove my rice, onions, and prepare jollof rice! when I came back, I saw her bringing food, that she remove my rice and cook, these is my own share! Somebody I never meet before from Adam, I was shock! But I didn't have the boldness to confront her! When my roommate came back I reported to him, he pleaded that I should let it go! Since that day I started locking my bag when am out!
I'm imagining the scene. Did you eat the food? cheesy

In my 100l my experience with my landlord was a terrible one. It was a self contained apartment. There was no toilet in the house but he lied to my dad about it.

I decided to adapt to this situation without telling my parents at home. Since I was new, my dad decided that I should be going to their church- Deeper Life. I couldn't and that was were the problem started. Julius Dein’s Girlfriend My landlord started to see me as a sinner because I was going to CASOR.

A friend of mine got admission and he wanted us to leave that place. That was when I began to hate religion. This man started saying bad words about me. He did his best to destroy my reputation but God was so faithful.

Although, all these challenges made me become a better person, but there were still some painful lessons learnt. Because of him I stopped being religious and decided to seek God for myself.

My ex landlord's son helped me pack to my new place. Stole one of my phones when I went to the kitchen to get him food.

I escorted him home and went somewhere. And the nigga went back to my new apartment and tried breaking my door to take more stuff.

I am currently facing one problem right now, infact I am packing this week. I got the apartment 2019, and my wife warned me about staying with landlord or landlady, and I tried to avoid such. But faith will have it that I got this mini 2bedroom flat, the landlord is a civil servant who only comes like 3time in a month.
But the issue is that his daughter of late 30s and her husband of early 40s are staying in the landlord apartment. The landlord will be using the bedroom while they sleep on the rugs in the sitting room

What they told me is that they will soon be traveling out of the country since 2019. This people had made life unbearable for my wife and me also, especially the landlord daughter hates my wife because she is young and getting it right, with kids too, while she has not given birth, I meant landlord daughter. Everyday is war of tongue and different curses on my kids. Infact I just got another apartment. Can't come get high blood pressure on top my money

During my intern,I rented a room in a four room face-me-i-face you bungalo where the landlord and another tenant,a banker lived.The landlord had a toddler who made my life miserable.She'll cry her heart out at night that its a suprise she never fell sick.When I return from work,i always meet a compound littered with baby urine and droppings.Once,i tried talking to the wife but she said i should leave their house if i can't condone it.The wife's case is even the worst.Everytime she cooks,it's a sure thing that the kitchen will be messy;if she washes cloth, cutleries or even her underwears,not only will she display her clothes and wares at the entrance of the house,she will also ensure the dirty water is everywhere.After i discovered that the banker always turn a blind eye,I eventually moved out after few weeks.Still reported him to the health authorities though.

It isnt easy to stay in same compound with your landlord. Especially mine. The landlord is quite understandable but his wife na action bitters. Everything to her is abomination. You pollute in your frontage -abomination. You did not greet 3times a day- malice.
you sing- she will scrutinize the song and see if you are mentioning her. Bt dis same woman is the first to start morning dev.

Can't really say I have ever had such experiences... I always stay in buildings where neither the landlord nor his wife/wives equally reside... I only communicate with them cordially via phone or SMS. This would be merely to register complaints (which hardly occurs since the building manager handles such)... My rents always get paid in promptly, so no basis for his calling to remind me.

I'm of the school of thought that landlords and tenants should never live together!!! A lot of stress, drama, and infractions would be easily avoided!!!... Same way or reason daughters and their mother in-laws should never be brought under the same roofs under any circumstance.

Had this crazy experience sometime ago, I was in 200L then, my land lady was extremely promiscuous. Her husband left the house for her and relocated to Lagos with his new wife.
The woman would always come back with young boys and the funny part is that she address them as "pastor".
My brother and I would always hear her almost every night moaning incoherently in the name of deliverance sessions.
Her choice of living doesn't bother me one bit, but the problem is that she wouldn't let the "pastors" use the toilet in her flat but will always direct them to that of my brother and I, and worse still, they never flush the toilet...... Never!!!

My father was scamed by a lawyer for a house he rented for four years, (the lawyer faked documents and lied the house was for sale) he spent almost 10 million on the house buying and refurbishing. After the 4years the landlady called from London that she did not sell the house that she wants he rent money, we find lawyer, lawyer don go Canada. My father had to pay rent again early this year, after his 10mill loss, she no even pity the man.

I have only met with landlady.

I married into the flat at the back of my landlady's apartment. After two months, she picked quarrel with us. Our offence was that my wife wasn't coming to ask for things like salt, pepper or whatever she brought from market.

I left there with a balance of eight months.

The second, I believe has mental issues. Though she does not live in the same compound with us but her trouble from far is more than four landlords put together.

She asked me to leave some days after I paid a year rent. I asked for refund but she refused.

I just jejely left and gave the place out to another person and collected my balance from the person.
