I really appreciate this video. The law, I also wish to ask if a landlord can personally prepare a tenancy agreement by himself without any involvement of a lawyer?
Good evening ma, I took up an apartment which I saw on one of the property apps, upon contacting the agent, I was told that the lady who was occupying the space had paid a one year rent but moved out in 2months because the space wasn’t conducive for her and her family. I was put in contact with her and she explained further, stating that the property manager was aware of the development. We tried getting in touch with him but he was always unavailable. Not picking calls or responding to messages. The lady and I went further with me taking over the apartment from her which we also informed the property manager, as usual, no response either. I moved in January after a lot of renovations and the property manager just issued her a notice to quit the apartment in 6 months. She says not to worry that he doesn’t have the right to because he was informed and carried along through the process but he refused to acknowledge or respond to messages. Is she right or do I have to be worried?
Thank you so much for responding! Hmm, he is not even responding! The reason for the notice is “renovation purposes” tried tell him I have done a lot of renovations here, and he says he isn’t aware of the arrangement. He isn’t even willing to have a conversation. What can I do please?
Twice seems too much but rent increase is discretionary. It’s the landlord’s choice when and how much to increase as long as it is not done unfairly or excessively against the tenants.
What if in a yearly tenancy of 1st January to December 31st quit notice was issued in September 5th that’s less than 6 months before the expiration of the current tenancy . When will the quit notice elapse?
Good evening ma, Please I'll need your advice, i was given a quick notice from my landlord via his lawyer on march and it clearly stated that if i can't pay the increased rent i should park out on or before 31st of December, now two months after the later, the landlord is now requesting i move out that same month my rent would expire being August. Please kindly advise
Good day Sir. If the quit notice is valid then it stands. If he wants you to move out before the expiration of the notice, he has to give you another notice or letter that states that the quit notice is now invalid and in addition serve you a fresh notice asking you to leave by Aug.
I paid my rent July instead of February and my landlord refund some part of my payment after one month and ask me to vacate the apartment without given me a date or month to vacate. What should I do please
Hello ma’am, so I’m having issues with my landlord. He won’t even communicate with me. Says he wants to talk to an adult instead of talking to me ( I’m 26 btw). Well, he says he wants to serve me a quit notice, I paid my rent in December and this is April. Thing is a girl was occupying the apartment before he asked her to leave and that should pay her directly so it’s more like a swap. The initial rent he collected from the girl was 350 but he said she did a lot of repairs that amounted to 478 including her agent fee and legal(I still paid mine differently) He asked that I paid her all the money she has spent I did in December and moved in January. A lot has been happening! This man has done a lot of terrible things to me one of which is turning off my water from a source I couldn’t reach, the reason is that I’m being disrespectful to him. I can’t go on and on. I just want to know how much he is supposed to refund me and how much time he’ should give me until I get a habitable place.
Good morning. I'm having issues with my landlord now. My rent will expire on the end of March this month, but my land lady increased the rent from 300k to 450k after two years of living and she wants us to vacate the premises. So I want to know if she wins in cases like this, Cos I heard she suppose to give me 6 months extension and she isn't supposed to increase a rent until after 5 years according to the law. My rent will expire this month but she informed me about the increments last 3rd week of February
Good day. No law says increase should be after 5 years. Yes she can increase after 2 years. If you can’t afford the new price calmly negotiate with her, we are all Nigerians facing the economic challenges; surely she’ll understand. She wins Sir.
Hello I paid my rent on the 1st of January… my landlord issued me a Quite not of just 7 days for me to pack out of the property because I violated personal terms … honestly I think 7 days is just too small please advise me I think it should be 3 months I stay in Portharcourt
The length of your quit notice depends on two things. 1. The way you pay your rent ie whether monthly, quarterly or yearly 2. The terms of your tenancy agreement. If you’ve violated fundamental terms in your tenancy agreement then the landlord may be right in giving you 7 days notice. I hope you find this helpful
@@icnclegalpractioner6657 Thanks for your answer. Are fundamental terms the same thing as covenants and are other terms which are not covenants also important enough for eviction if violated?
@@Nigerianfacts yes they both mean the same. We’ve done a video explaining this in detail as we’ve got lots of questions on this. We’ll post soon. Hang in there so you don’t miss it when we do.
What about in a student in a lodge couldn’t pay up his rent in 2 months and the caretaker brake down the door and pack out the student property and now he can’t find all the property’s and still asking the student to pay money for some stuff can finds
Good morning my sister.Pls advice me on this.I gave a tenant quit notice 6 months to his tenancy anniversary.I again gave him a 1month reminder.I finally gave him the last one two days after the tenancy anniversary.But he hasn't packed out and has used 3weeks now.

Absolutely a landlord can prepare a tenancy agreement and issue quit notice by himself. Just that lawyers are best at it. But yes landlords can
We are glad you found it helpful
Thank you very much ma'am.
The law, one more thing please. Is it also legally binding?
Good video. What of in the case where the rent has expired, does 6 months notice to quit still apply for yearly tenant?
Will do a video to explain this in detail
@@icnclegalpractioner6657Please we still need a video on this.❤

Please worry o. You are the one in the apartment not her. Find out what the problem is and resolve it with the manager.
Thank you so much for responding!

What can I do please?
Please ma’am is it legal for a landlord/landlady to increase rent twice within the space of two years?
Twice seems too much but rent increase is discretionary. It’s the landlord’s choice when and how much to increase as long as it is not done unfairly or excessively against the tenants.
What if in a yearly tenancy of 1st January to December 31st quit notice was issued in September 5th that’s less than 6 months before the expiration of the current tenancy . When will the quit notice elapse?
March. Count from Oct. Quit notice must start from the first day of the month and expire in the last day of the month

He should heaven given you a definite date to move out. That’s not proper

Yes a landlord can issue quit notice by himself. Using lawyers is optional
