It baffles me how people have this "I don't care" attitude towards other people's property. And here I'm talking about occupants of rented apartments.

There is this compound of eight flats beside where I live and people occupying the flats are all adults.

Guys, you can't believe that for the past two weeks their pumping machine had been pumping water continuously stopping only when the light is ceased( I'm not exaggerating) . And here we enjoy constant electricity at least 20 hours per day.
They come out of their flats, see the compound filled with water and they don't care.
The drainage is filled with their refuse and water and it's pretty annoying.

What kind of life is that? The thing just dey pepper me! Just because they don't own the house!
As I'm typing now, water is running continuously!

Chei! This man house don suffer ooo.
Why are people life this sef?
Person property!

Please change your mentality if u are guilty of this kinda attitude! Coz one day one day you'll become a landlord and you'll know how it feels.

N/B.. Their gateman ran away about a month ago!

chiddyok:

Are u a landlord or related to one?

cindyrocks:
You are right.

Most tenants do not take care of their rented apartments, especially the compounds.

So bad.

That's why landlords employ caretakers to monitor and oversee whatever they do so they don't mess up the landlords house

Wait lemme ask amadioha

I always encourage tenants to take a snap shot of the apartment before they move in.
If you did any major renovation to the apartment without permission, that also consists of damages and will result in your deposit being withheld.

Personally, I always pay back the damage deposit unless there are actual damages in the apartment.

Interesting..

I changed a single sink to a double sink.. Changed the cheap ass cabinet in the Kitchen to a well designed kitchen cabinet with glass..

I changed the Taps in all the bathrooms to imported Taps and fittings..

Changed the Shower head from that Local plastic type to the foreign type.



Look, I am also a Landlord, I dared the landlord to go look at all the other 8 flats and come check mine and tell me I did damage to the property..

The Man was being petty.. 150,000 naira was what he was shying away from returning. I thought about pulling out all the upgrades I made and leaving, but I realized it would make me petty and malicious, bring me down to his level and make me look rachet.

I just walked away.. Guess what, the person who rented my place loved it and didn't need to do any darn thing to the place.


There is a difference between an upgrade and damage.

Example: If you rented the property with Plastic tiles and your tenant upgrades those tiles to marble tiles, you would be a cheap skate to use that as an excuse to withhold their damage deposit.

magicminister:


Hehehe....
All repairs/ renovation should be done by the landlord.
Any unpermitted renovations or repairs is tantamount to damage.

I always have my tenant's complaint resolved the same day or the next morning if it can wait.

magicminister:
There is a way to go about this.
As a landlord, i take a deposit of 100,000 from every tenant moving into my building.

This 100k would be returned to the tenant when they are moving out if the apartment is in good conditions just like the way it was when they moved in.

The term "good condition" was clearly defined in the landlord tenant agreement.


So far, I haven't had any issue with any tenants and my property has always been in good shape.

magicminister:


Hehehe....
All repairs/ renovation should be done by the landlord.
Any unpermitted renovations or repairs is tantamount to damage.

If you mist make renovations, then you should revert things exactly the way it was before you leave.
Fit back the old sinks and all the old stuffs and have them in working conditions.

If everyone renovates a property to their taste, then there would be a problem.
We need all the apartments to be in uniform condition.


I hope you take this as a lesson. You were at fault.
If those renovations were unpermitted, then its as good as damages.

MadCow1:



Would you change a single sink to double sink if I asked?

MadCow1:


I could have returned the old sink but it was of lesser quality than what I put in... I told the Landlord about the upgrades. I knew very well all the rental laws.. Hells my fathers properties were just a few streets away from there.

We talked about it, the Landlord (via his caretaker agreed), as long as I didnt damage the main structure of the House (which I didnt).

I did up the house because I couldn't stand the poor quality of materials used in the house. Everything was rusting away even before I moved in and he saw it. The Landlord admitted that the Upgrades were really nice and didnt deface the property. But he just wouldn't give me back my money..
