Landlords and landladies these days are so wicked it is unbleievable....
They have no empathy at all and will just wake up and announce rent increment or sale of house...Their wicked act has left a lot of people homeless and out on the streets or begging for money to rent other places...
Was your rent increased recently? Or did you find yourself and your properties outside because the landlord threw you out? what happened?
I dont even want to includ what Lawyers and house angents do to people all in the name of agreement and caution....Sometimes the monies these two sets of people collect is even more than the rent...Sometimes its the landlord acting as both...lol
Lets gist!!
My present situation right now,
ReplyDeleteWe pay 300k for a two bed,,they sold our compound, and the new landlady increased it to 600k,I now decided to move to one bed, they are saying it's 500k,am yet to find 450,my rent is expiring at the end of this month.lm thinking of retaining the place,cos if I pay 500k,at the end of the day, I'll pay more than7 to 800k, it's really bad in pH.
That must be the market rate if not you would have moved
DeleteThis is outrageous.
DeleteI pray God comes through for you.
Eeeya, things we experience...can you plead with the new landlady to reduce rent? Considering you as an existing tenant 🥺
DeleteUna just dey enjoy house rent for PH oo 600k for 2bedroom? My dear retain it. Hopefully you will be able to complete the money

Our house was sold in June, the new landlord increase the rent to 100%. Even agency will be paid. We went as tenant to complain that it's too much,we were given quit notice to quit in September
ReplyDeleteWe have contacted lawyer to help us get 6 months a least. The New landlord said we are not her tenant that she can't give us that time. That we should quit highest this month
It's well. We are only left at the mercy of God and our lawyer
Am here to read and be nodding my head 🙄

DeleteBe like conji dey deal with you lately considering the comment you drop on FNP and this one here.
It is so sad that in Nigeria where people don't pay mortgage on their houses choose to increase house rent arbitrarily that's wickedness.
ReplyDeleteI remember when we were still in Portharcourt. My mum rented a shop in a remote area around etche region. There was no single provision store when we started.. We were making sales like, in fact, sometimes people queue to buy from us. We sell everything, provisions, soup items, frozen foods, eggs, drinks, recharge cards,fuel , snacks etc.
ReplyDeleteWhen it was time to renew the rent, Landlord increased it by 100%... My mum agreed to pay after begging and negotiation... Only for the landlord to state that his wife wanted to use the shop and that we should move out.
We left there to another place, and the woman did not stay in the shop for 3 month.

DeleteThis is where the Chinese are good
They will sell something to you for 10 cents. They will see you selling it for $3 and they will big try to collect that business. This landlady saw you peoples business and figured she can be making that money instead of sticking to her rental
Not try*
DeleteOurs also was sold and New owners gave us till December next month🥲

DeleteI experienced this 6 years ago and it was a hunted house oh, we all left the upstairs and to the glory of God things turned out well. Our present compound needs a facelift that I can't even bring some of my friends home because of shame. We can't move out either because it's a peaceful house and the landlord doesn't increase the rent anyhow but he is very very old that I fear when he departs his children may be mean to the tenants.
ReplyDeleteSudden increase on rent nowaday is so alarming and frustrating 😞
ReplyDeleteMay God help us 🙏
Please Stella don’t make it seem like all landlords are bad , even when you don’t increase rent some tenants will and have refused to pay rent.How can you live in another person’s house and refuse to pay rent? A lot of landlords built these houses under sweat and tears to help feed and pay school fees. Some tenants will owe you , wait for you to go to court and then move out quickly without paying what they owe you. The economic situation is on everyone, how long do you expect the Landlord to give Grace? A lot of Tenants are heartless!! I as a tenant can never owe rent, that is the first thing ( shelter) then food,at times I don’t have food but I always have a place to lay my head. You have the whole year to get your rent together.
ReplyDeleteThe courts need to step in
DeleteThat’s why people are selling off and the landlords are getting more hardened
Oh wow.
ReplyDeleteI thought I was alone in this new landlord and house rent increase issues.
Worst is that looking for new house is not easy at all, plus the money and the increased rate are almost same (in same area because of work proximity) and you have to include agents fee, agreement and so on which person no get.
God will help his children.
Personally, I believe investing in realestate in Nigeria is not wise. Where do I even start? Tenants will give you story, house value you thought is appreciating is only over run by inflation. You will end up being called wicked and insensitive if you try to make tenants pay and hold up their end of the contract.
