Hello house I need your help on this using Kaduna state landlord and tenant law.
If a house was sold before a tenant’s rent (let say tenant (A) and he or she is a yearly tenant) expires and the new owner came to inform all the tenants that the house has been sold and the rent has increased (like one month before tenant(A) rent expires)
If the tenant(A) says he/she can’t afford the new rent,
• Does the house owner have the right to tell the tenant (A) to leave his/her house immediately after his/her rent expires?
• If the rent has no written agreement (remember the house has new owner and there is no written agreement between the new owner and tenant (A)) but there is receipt of payment for the last rent, does Kaduna state landlord and tenant law cover tenant (A)? If yes should the house owner give tenant (A) any notice? If yes what type of notice and the duration of notice (remember tenant (A) is a yearly tenant)?
• Lastly what court of law hear cases like this according to Kaduna state landlord and tenant law? Thanks

If house owner say leave my house you better leave.

No go claim right for person house oooo, we no wan hear gone too soon.

All the laws governing landlords and tenants in Nigeria are wack. Most times they are made to punish or frustrate the landlords.

Laws should be made to be just and fair to both parties. But sometimes you see court orders allowing tenants to live rent free in a property "till decision is made", which could be years.

If the property has a new owner, the tenants must agree terms of new owner or leave with the previous owner.

from your last paragraph, should tenant leave immediately after his/her rent expires or the house owner should give the tenant some weeks or month(s)?

Seeeeeeee:

I'm actually looking for perspectives from tenants, house owner and the position of law.

Immediately the house is sold, the tenant has no contract with the new owner. Yes, once the rent expires the tenant should leave.

The previous owner should have informed the tenant(s) that he is selling the house. He either refund the remainder of the rent, or tell them they should leave once the rent expires. The tenant has no binding agreement with the new owner, verbal or written.
