My rent was increased 60% I think because i recently bought a car.

What I noticed about some landlord are 3 behaviours.

The first one is they will increase your rent if you achieve Anything or seems to be progressing. This one is common among the Igbos.

The second one is they will give you quit notice to pack out. This could be out of jealousy. They want to be apha and omega and don't want tenants to raise shoulder with them.

The third one is they will be happy that you are achieving things in their house and want people to see that their house had no problem. They can even reduce your rent or not bothered to ask you to pay urgently so you can pay at your convenient time.

yes I don't think others were increased. The landlord said my rent. He didn't say the whole house.

Except I will use style to ask others.

Ask your cotenants if theirs were increased, especially cotenants who occupy your size of apartment.

If you have a lease your landlord just can't increase your rent like that. You have the right to sue him

And find out if your other tenants rate has been increased also because some landlords can be unfortunate

if your rent was lowered because the landlord wanted to help you (thinking you were poor and struggling), then i certainly understand why the rent will be increased (back to normal) if the landlord believes you are no longer poor and struggling.

That's one of the ways we show love in Nigeria. Oga landlord believes that if you are able to buy a new car, surely, you are also capable of paying the new rent.

I bought a car for my wife last year and the land lady called me that my next rent has increased from 650k to 1million. She is Yoruba woman here in Abuja.

Just to let u know that u are a pure tribalist.


And the so called woman lives above my flat.

With the way you quickly changed your name to Carnawife who knows the kind of noise you have been making and may even be constituting nuisance parking anyhow.



The speed with which you ran here to say your rent was increased without checking with other tenants.

And how you listed igbo landlords that jealous you and your new car shows the kind of person you are.
