How Many Months Is A Tenant Required To Stay In A Building Before Eviction by Orpe7(m): 11:01am On Feb 02, 2020
So I moved into an 3 rooms apartment Aug 2019.
First on the assurance had a borehole and will get a prepaid installed since it was a new building and they had started processing the meter.
Few months afterwards, the rain started and I noticed the roof of the building was leaking. After several complaints the caretaker brought different people to fix it.
When that passed, harmattan season came and we the tenants noticed there was no water in the tank, that when we knew the caretaker dug a well inside of a borehole and the well was drying up.
To cut the long story, we took him to the police station to sign an agreement to supply us with water pending the landlord fix a borehole.
January 2020, a borehole was dug and we started having water
Only for me to receive a letter of a 6months quit notice to vacate the premises in July 2020.
What can I do?
Because I cant pay agency, legal, caution, rent and then vacate after 12months

Taking your landlord to the station will not solve any problem: you can't take me to a station and still be my tenant.

Rubbish. Why lie to your tenants? Tenants have rights that must be respected by the landlord.

Upon payment for the 3 bedroom apartment, were you given a tenancy agreement? If yes, what does it say? There should be some clause you can use to your advantage.

The agreement didnt say I could be evicted after a year
It only said if I didnt take care of my bills e.g light, waste, security etc.
Which I always do (paying ahead sef)

It was the caretaker we took to the police
Landlord is a doctor based in the US
Besides we suspected foul play between us and the caretaker like the landlord doesn't know what we were going through
