unserious person has drop a quote,what job supercedes building a house to let. You don't tell anyone what type of business they want to use their money to do...I see people who reasons like you as lazy ass niggas.

Any landlord that depends only in his rent always increases his house rent and won't tolerate a delay of rent payment from any tenant.
Can we meet lets see who's lazy between us.
You think everyone is as broke as you.

Rinoxy:

Are you expecting landlords to ask prospective tenants how much they make in a month, and are you expecting the intending tenant to divulge such private information? I don't think so.

The answer to the two questions are -Yes and Yes!

But not compulsory a prospective tenants divulge in the rental application form but such intending tenant can be 100% certain that his application will not scale through.

Every sections of the form must be duly completed.

Below in the form is a clear authorisation (signed and dated) from intending tenants that read thus...

"Applicant authorizes the Landlord to contact past and present Landlords, Employers, Creditors, Credit Bureaus, neighbours, and any other sources deemed necessary to investigate applicant"

"All information is true, accurate and complete to the best of applicant's knowledge. Landlord reserves the right to disqualify tenant if information is not as represented".

"ANY PERSON OR FIRM IS AUTHORIZED TO RELEASE INFORMATION ABOUT THE UNDERSIGNED UPON PRESENTATION OF THIS FORM OR A PHOTOCOPY OF THIS FORM AT ANY TIME.



APPLICANT'S SIGNATURE............................
DATE........................


So you can see the applicant filling all the necessary information I need on the form and also authorizing me to vet his application for consideration.

One thing I've noticed is that-- people that are serious, able, capable and financially suited for the property don't have problems or challenges completing the forms and that makes my job even very easier to screen people.

Don't rent house of a jobless landlord whose only source of income is the house.

Being an investor is a job on it's own. He's giving services that ought to be paid for.

Ideally, intending tenants should not take up an apartment that his two months salary cannot pay. Similarly, no Landlord should also accept any tenant whose two months salary cannot cumulatively pay his annual rent.

Nowadays, only tenants that have that "disposable income edge" hardly come up with excuses when their annual rent is due.

If you can organize your income for your feeding and other upkeeps, then you can save up and pay your rent. You had a whooping 12months to plan your renewal rent.

Georgejeez:
My own problem now is how to increase the rent of my tenant successfully in this Agbado eCORNomic regime .

Same rent madam has been paying for more than 5 years , I haven't increased it once , now I want to increase it because the rent isn't even scratching the surface of the money I spend weekly due to the high cost of living.

but how do I increase the rent of a Monthly tenant who's owing more than 4 months , how I wan do am ?.

Make somebody advice me biko .

Or am I too soft ?

You have to take a hard stand on them. Some tenants don't take the Landlord as priority even when they have the money.

The question you should ask yourself is, has he/she not been eating and meeting up other upkeeps for himself/herself?

Many tenants have driven their Landlord beneath the soil. Only for them to shed some fake tears and testify "oh, he's such a nice man" at his service of song.

MasterTeeUSA:
It's simple....if you can't pay rent. .move back to your family house...don't feel entitled to the Landlord's house rent free ...he or she has responsibilities too. When tenants start having meetings and conspiring...it's always at the expense of the Landlord..No one forces anyone to pay the rent ...but please do the needful and move out unless the Landlord agrees otherwise. Doing otherwise will just show you are a cheater and while tenants think they are getting away with it...they will bare the consequences or their children...You can't make life unbearable for landlord

Piggyvest Target = Rent/365, works for me every year!

You get sense.

Most tenants wailing on this thread don't have any sense. They wait till the last moment before they realise they have a rent to pay.

DanielsParker:
If you work and earn, you can actually plan and pay your rent effortlessly.

a. Divide your rent by 12 ( 12 months). At the end of each month, whenever you get paid, you transfer the monthly budget for you rent to a separate account or to your piggyvest.

b. If you don’t earn monthly, divide your rent by 52 ( 52 weeks in a year). at the end of each week, make sure you send the weekly budget for your rent to a separate account or safelock it in your piggyvest.

With this, you can pay your rent effortlessly..

Please how do I safelock money in piggyvest and which piggyvest platform do you think is the safest?

NECO1998:
Cut your coat according to the size of your material. Why not ask how your landlords pay their bills?

That question is not in tenants mind. It's only 5% of tenants that understand that Landlord have responsibilities too.

I watched my tenant owing one and half year rent killing chicken last Christmas with hunger in my belly!

Annahh:
I thankGod my one month salary can pay my rent.

hi I painstakingly went through your diary.
Wanted creating mine though, maybe that'll help me combat my depression borned out of unemployment.
By the way, a little show of kindness would be so highly appreciated

Even as a tenant, I didnt feel entitled. I moved out when I needed to, cleaned up after myself and paid my rent. When someone has to chase you for staying in their houses without paying rent...you are already part of the problem in the country. We need to start laying curses...or better still, throw everything out...tenants can go to court and justify why they ought to be living rent free at the expense of landlords....ridiculous.

Emekayoung:

Thank God for you. And like i said "don't mock others" if your sources of income is flowing like tap. It's very obvious you don't even get the point at all. There are alot of people who make money but as the money is coming in something serious is draining the money out. So don't judge people when you don't know their situation. Let's just rest the case.

I started investing in Unioversity, so it is not about mocking other or having incoming flowing like water

Please how do I safelock money in piggyvest and which piggyvest platform do you think is the safest?
Cc olamilarks

cowrywise and piggyvest are good. But I'm more conversant with piggyvest. Piggyvest has five saving features, namely:
Core savings account: Four free quarterly withdrawals per year, doesn't have a safelock feature. This will charge you breaking fee if you want your money outside of the free withdrawal dates.
Flex: This can be a daily account, withdrawals every 10hours per day.
Target (This is what I use for my rent, it has a progress bar and a safelock feature) You'll lose all interest if you don't meet target.
Safelock: This works best for lump sum savings, money cannot be withdrawn until the set date.
Dollar account: This works for savings in USD

ahnie:
You just must find way to pay your rentage, or dem go evict you.

My landlord.understands and he collects 6 months from his tenants.

So you even pay 6 months salary alone this small girl.
You're even broke

Imagine paying rent to live on a natural resource


Why do someone have to pay for a natural resource??


It's sick tbh , what a capitalist society we live in


One day we'll start paying for air


The best thing to do while you're young is cut expenses , save and buy land


I believe that every man must have a land necessarily

My own landlord sent me a letter of rent increment last month

Can't wait to buy my own apartment

Just give landlord pikin belle and enjoy a rent- free apartment. Do this and thank me later

The rate at which landlords are increasing rent this period is worrisome.
Same with mine, for an apartment I've stayed in for just 2+yrs. No renovation, nothing. Just notice to increase rent.
Reason: Economic situation.
It seems timely payment of rent has disadvantages. That's my thought now.

CaptainFM1:

One late ? Na one minute you for write na ...

phemmyfour:
Prioritise. You have 12 months to plan

Comments like this do not add any value at all. The OP mentioned a fact we all know that cost of living has skyrocketed while salary has remained stagnant.

Do you want him and the family to stop eating or do you want the kids to stop going to school so he can prioritize?

Ofcourse, yes! Nigerians and lateness in everything are 5&6!

Reason one should stay in an apartment where the rent can be paid comfortably and anticipate increment at any time.

My one month pay can cover my rent, with this new increment I will just add 20k

Use your brain

He would have saved substantial amount if he started early before things skyrocketed

I did that as a bachelor, my one month salary paid my rent, but as marriage enter, I had to shift. It's a good thing but some factors affect it.
