Can this work out?

skuribeebo:
uumm fashola just believe the only way to make money is through taxation and high bills .

Lusola15:
This is d only people friendly thing Fasola said since becoming a Minister

mekaboy:
Nonsense. has the govt ever helped the landlords in any way?

They buy land u collect tax, omonile collect their own. They have to fix the roads by themselves. Buy cement and pay for labour complete.

when they finish everything without any support from govt, then you come out to tell them how to collect rent.

Where were u when they were sourcing for funds? Did u provide any installment plans for purchase of building materials.

Fashola, I know you tried in lagos, even though u used just 30% of funds available to lagos state.

Now u act like u have pity for the poor. Which of the building projects you put up for the masses in lagos can the poor afford?

How much does a flat go for? Now your talking of house rent.

You forget that the landlord will pay the 40% increase u intend to add to electricity? You forget the landlord has to buy fuel after u remove subsidy?

Or you don't know the landlord has to buy dollars at 260 to import items to sell?

Abeg make we hear word.

catlova:


The guy above you is spewing trash

chimkaire:
Na that one we dey ask yhu
When the first rent elapses, can we pay monthly afterwards or twice a year, nwoke'm

Ximonak:


You too correct...
Where I stay then in lagos, Landlords will buy the land, pay up to 100k to omonile I'd you want to do foundation/ German floor, you pay again when you want to deck it(for story buildings), you pay for roofing too

Then it's the landlord that will cooperate and fill the street, drainage, extended the light to there street, pay for transformer/ wires to run it.

Then all those fashola people(different levies) will show and paint red in your house, you will pay. Then you want to now tell landlords how much to collect... SMH

euromilion:

One month deposit and one month upfront,I don't know where you get that idea from mate.

He said: “If salaries are paid in arrears, rent should be paid in arrears.” He added that a more rigorous enforcement system for eviction would then be worked out for anyone in default.”

The above caption was the bone of contention: stop the distraction. If you are living in Lagos, you will understand what he means: Landlords are becoming more harsh on tenants on daily basis.

They collect at least 100k for agreement and commission without any paper signed + two years house rent + damages etc: this means you are spending an amount in the region of nothing less than 450k on a room self-contain. Now, how can an average graduate collecting 40k cope with this?

My last leave I spent in Ivory Coast opened my eyes to some evils being perpetrated by landlords. Their rent is being collected monthly and no tenant will pay you a dime till the end of the month.

Does this mean that the Landlords were not paying tax nor pay for some community projects undertaking? Did government help them to build the house? Are they paying for house material instalmentally?

For me, there is no doubt that this will be of help to common man if a law could be enacted and implemented to curb this menace.

You have compassion for the poor, yet you re brand website with 78m.

Do you know that you would have empowered over 150 enteprenurs with 500k from that 78m. Instead you approved 78m for a website that has no value to the people.

Abeg make we hear word.

macklef:

+ @mekaboy

Your arguements lack depth. Even if i havnt built a house yet, my parents have before my eyes
I know how stressful n expensive it can be to errect a building.
Now, if one decided to rent the house out, does it mean u must strangle people
With house rent?
A building is a fixed asset that can land for nothing less than a decade. It is a continious
Source of income not an initial profit maximization
A landlord must know that he would make his gains overtime not on one time so as such he should be flexible with his rent collection n not make d lowly ones suffer

Femich18:

DanG1:
I wish engineers and I mean proactive engineers can get to rule this country and work to solve problems in Nigeria. What Fashola said is not far from the solution but this solution is not the root cause of this problem. He should dig deep and find the real cause and he would find permanent solution we are tired of solutions that can't stand the test of time.
The solution by creating more housings by the government and rented to citizens
The solution making Mortages more feasible and accessible
The solution of creating systems of accountability and introducing buyers and sellers protection

If various solutions are not weighed we can't find the real permanent solution

PentiumPro:
Absolutely.
However the way to drive such through is when government provides more houses and fund more mortgages .

EbolaParasite:


Why are you guys being ignorant. Landlords started the 1yr/2yr system because the government failed in it's duty to provide a credit rating system. The reason landlords would rather collect advance payment is because they have NO FAITH in you. Landlords do not want to have to beg for rent every month. There are areas where electricity bills are shared. Do you know how much effort, it takes to get the tenants to pay every month? Some tenants will refuse to pay while putting others in jeopardy.

Also, if a tenant refuses to pay, there are laws protecting the tenant. You can't just evict them right away. You have to go to court, give them eviction notice etc. At the end of the day you will lose 2 months or more extra rent. Then you have to start looking for another tenant again.

This is a foolish policy. Nigeria is not ripe for this yet. The only way it will work is if they ENFORCE direct debit from the tenants employer.

GoodFaith:


A government program will be other mess and help lot of corrupt leaders and their friend
The government need to grant Mortgages to people at low interest rate
How can you ask a fresh graduate getting his/her first job for a two rent payment in advance

Ryabcool:
because we know how useless tenants can be. Imagine, a tenant sending me 20k out of 250k as part payment of his rent. The bastard is no longer picking calls. Tell me, can you accept such? And they say landlords are wicked

PentiumPro:
Absolutely.

CriticalThought:


The government need to grant Mortgages to people at low interest rate . . . with which money?
The rent collection system is broken, everyone knows that but its this way because everything is uncertain
