Seven months have passed since ASUU embarked on strike. These 7 months have gone on rather uneventfully with the lockdown taking the better part of the seven months and the recent #EndSars protests last month.

With the year coming to an end and the loss of job that accompanied the lockdown, other sources of income now seem to be the only income which brings me to the aim of this post.

Students have been home for these past months with little or nothing to do as most establishments are not hiring due to the financial hit on their businesses. Ordinarily, a session should be closing and rent for student lodges would most likely be due for payment. I just wonder where this leaves them and their landlords who would soon begin to ask for rent payments.

Losing 7months+ of their rents and probably more (since the ASUU strike is still on) is not wonderful thing. But rental agreements stated anyways that their rent is due on a said date signed prior to payment. It wouldn't be a subject to debate if these students utilized this rooms paid for during the past 7+ months plus. Paying for more time that mightn't be used is another thing to worry about.

I'm just wondering if it is possible for them and their landlords to find a middle ground. After all the landlords built those hostels and lodges for financial gains.

NB: Please bear in mind that not all federal universities have the capacity to provide accommodation for all her students.

Landlords of students' lodges, what are your thoughts?

Students patronizing alternative accomodations, what are your thoughts?

Am coming back to comment

the government and ASUU are taking Nigerians for a ride

Students should hold the FG responsible

Wahala Go Dey o

I'm not paying my landlord shi shi.

The fault is not the students' nor the landlords', a mutual ground should be reached by both sides. If it's possible for students to pay another 1/4 of their rents again, I think it would put to bed the obvious 'war' waiting when schools are eventually reopened.

big wahala for who no dey live for school hostel oo!

Landlords will collect their own money without leaving out a kobo. After all ur luggages were there in the rooms

Nothing irritates me more than seeing a supposed university student writing "ASUU" as "ASSU".
What is the connection between these two?

I had a thought of not paying the land lord shi Shi but then, I put myself in his shoes, out of 150k or thereabout, will pay 20k.

I know I've tried, not as if I saw the school environment for almost a year now...

Bomb dey your head. All these oversabi

when school resume let their be reshuffling of hostels. if u no want trouble. simply resume sch with your house rent and look for another accommodation.

My rent is getting due by month end. Having to pay for another 6month is another challenge like this.

FG and ASUU, God will judge you people oh

Most students won't pay, instead of them to pay for rent they didn't use at all, from what I have observed,they will use that same money to go get new accommodation, and overnight break dat door and pack away their belongings

Whahala go dey o, my rent expired September and I woke up one day to my landlords 6 missed calls. That man get mind fa,he wants me to pay for a room I don't know when I will use again. I plan on resuming with my complete rent but he must give me a discount of some months or I will pay his old balance and pack out.

FG paying professors 8k per month
