How to Deal With a Wicked and Stubborn Landlord

Being a tenant can be a daunting experience, especially if you have a landlord trying to evict you. However, there are things you can do to protect your rights and stay home.

First, make sure you’re sticking to the terms of your rental agreement. This includes paying your rent on time and not doing anything that would violate the terms of the agreement. If you are unsure of the terms of your agreement, you can request a copy from your landlord.

If your landlord tries to give you a notice to leave, make sure it’s valid. In most states, landlords are required to give tenants some notice before they can be evicted. If the notice is not valid, you can stay on the property. For example, in Lagos State, the landlord is required to give you at least six months notice if you have been a tenant for more than a year.

If your landlord is suing you, it’s important to have a lawyer represent you. A lawyer can help you understand your rights and argue your case. You can find a lawyer who specializes in landlord-tenant law by contacting your local bar association or by searching online.

In addition to the above, here are some other tips for dealing with a mean and stubborn landlord:

1. Stay calm and professional. Don’t argue with your landlord or make threats. It will only make the situation worse.
2. Document everything. Keep copies of any correspondence with your landlord, as well as any other evidence you have of their wrongdoing. This can include emails, text messages, voicemails, or even photographs of property damage.
3. Get help from a tenant advocacy organization. There are many organizations that can help tenants who are harassed or evicted by their landlords. These organizations can provide you with legal advice, mediation services and even financial assistance.
4. Be ready to fight. If your landlord is determined to evict you, you may need to go to court. It can be a long and expensive process, but it’s important to stand up for yourself.

Here are some of the rights you have as a tenant:

• The right to receive a receipt from your landlord for any rent payment you make.
• The right to request a copy of your rental agreement.
• The right to rent a property that is in a rental and habitable state.
• The right to receive some notice before your landlord can evict you.
• The right to privacy.
  The right to quiet enjoyment.

If you think your landlord is violating your rights, you should contact an attorney. A lawyer can help you understand your rights and argue your case.
