Oshi tenant ati caution fee gba!!!

whytediamond:


You paid 250k as caution fee. Time to park comot, them no refund you the caution fee.

No be to damage the property properly for them? So they can use the 250k to repair the house for the new tenant coming in.

Everybody dey mad, na just respect we get.

But the story never said they refused to refund and also considering how extensive the damages are one can infer these didn't happen as the tenant was leaving but rather in the course of the tenant's occupancy...also hope you didn’t miss the part where it was reported that the tenant used the house for a bakery.

The fact remains only a terrible person will do this to someone else's house despite the landlord or agent's insensitivity.

Babaken:
When he has paid for the damage already.

honour7:
If not for greed why would anyone collect a caution fee of 250k. I bet you the agent refused to return the caution fee when the tenant said he is packing out hence the damages.

Most likely what happened here

mactoni91:
Maybe he damaged the property intentionally after realizing he was (or is) being extorted by the agent/Landlord.

I honestly pity landlords who hand over their houses to greedy agents that exploit tenants.

The so-called agent in the video was just shouting about a "₦250k caution fee" — why didn’t you mention the full amount they collected (the total package)?

Total package Dey house rent itself… All agents are greedy

Very soon, tenants will start making life unbearable for greedy house agents/landlords.

will d agent tell u they refused to give him?

So where's the picture of the house before the tenant parked in?

The house was rented brand new ... which means he was the first tenant. What condition do you think it was in?

@ topic .... the tenant wrecked the place and moved out. I'm thinking if he really did due diligence...ten he should have good info on him and can get him traced and arrested. Maybe he took the tenant on his ability to pay everything...rent and security deposit.... Yahoo boy maybe? But then maybe the tenant lease was about to be up and he was moving out of State/country....he asked for a refund of the security deposit but the landlord refused or was stalling..hoping he leaves. Guess the tenant decided he'll do N250K damage.

Every story has three sides.

Did you pay 250k caution fee where you currently live? Be honest please.

Good question

[quote author=Hussein035 post=135141113]


That's how you people will keep spending because from onset you agents never have feelings for human

Imagine ordinary Single Room selfcon is now 300k and agreement and commission 300k

Total= 600k and you expect people to take care of the house. I like Lagos IGBO for one thing if you tell them agreement is 800k they will still pay but once they leave the house you will spend 700k to repair because they will damage beyond imagination. Infact they will also ensure that they pay you subsequent rentage in bits such that landlords cannot use the money for meaningful things


Mr Hussein, this is so unfair to malign Igbos this way. Its pure evil to do this...

Tenant don try e nor easy…

Kenosky1:
This is an Evil tenant, and quite sad the landlord gave out the house. I paid and rented another house for a tenant and later discovered that the guy was cooking with firewood inside my house, doors and electrical sockets deliberately broken. I spent so much money on renovation.

How much did you collect as a caution fee, you people will collect caution fee in the sense to return it if the tenant is moving out without any damages but your greed will not allow you to maintain that single agreement, Una never see anything yet

AmazingELixir:


Some tenants are truly terrible....diswan is hell bent on making the landlord/ landlady feel his or her pain.

When landlordz refused to give back the caution fee as agreed, i the tenant

MaziObinnaokija:
. Anybody that can't afford to pay should move to GOVERNMENT HOUSING ESTATE/go build their own house

Pray that your children and next two generations will have their own buildings, if not, same thing you said will be repeated to them

That's a one-sided story if I ever heard one.

FIrst, for a house like that the caution fee of 250k isn't much. I would expect higher TBH. The only problem is whether it is refunded or not. So, if the story is that they refused to pay back the caution fee and the culprit went crazy. Wellz, I guess they found someone who matches their energy.
That's probably not the case though.

He started by complaining the guy turned the house into a bakery. Did he hide it with a magic spell until the day he left. The caretaker must have been aware before now, and would have approved of whatever activity went on there. If it was bothering others they would have complained too. So, it tells me the person making the video is also shady cos they're clearly twisting the narrative to their advantage.
Ofcos it could mean that they truly never bothered to check on the house till the day they made this video, but that just means they neglected their duties as a caretaker.

Then they went into the house and showed the POP that fell through, and the door handles that were broken. Their insinuation was that the person purposefully damaged those things over the course of their tenancy. I respond by saying maybe.
Maybe the build quality was bad. The room with the caved in roof was downstairs not upstairs so it was not a roof leak. Perhaps the build quality was bad, and the door were made with poor materials so they broke down easily.
Who knows if the guy had complained in the past and the caretaker paid no heed or wanted them to fix things with their own money when they weren't responsible for the structures being built poorly in the first place.

I reserve any judgment here but the video is definitely suspicious in it's appeal.

RISQUE:


I was discussing with a friend of mine few days ago on the issue of building or buying a house and renting it out and I told him why I will never do that and this was one of my reasons, rather, I can buy a house and then resell instead of renting it out. The wickedness of some tenants is nothing close to that of the devil.

You're narrow-minded

Wait till you hear from the tenant, you might even start blaming the agent/landlord. This guys are evil.

...
My brother the thing weak me Landlord this Landlord that, these people are providing very important services, how many residential houses did the Government build or can build to serve the populace, most tenants as far as I am concerned pay what they can afford. If you don't want to pay caution fee, there is always something cheaper, if one can't afford a flat or duplex then go for face me I face you or BQ.
This is Nigeria where Government provide shi shi so we must comend people that let their houses out to the masses.
In the final analysis it is the law of demand and supply at work and with the way Nigerians breed demand will always outstrip supply, that is why people even pay to sleep under bridges.

Why?
It's wrong to damage another's property, including in hotel rooms

shut up.If u can't afford to pay in lagos,Abuja, Pota, elsewhere. Pls,move to ur village 🛖 and STOP CURSING UR GENERATION

Don't mind the fool. You paid 7m and you expected me to waste the money just like that. I like the bakery aspect anyway. I don't damaging someone investment deliberately

End time tenant

Mannyautos:
While this was a bad tenant, my question is if the tenant didn’t damage anything would they have refunded him? Because I doubt caution fee is ever refunded in Nigeria. Greedy agents

I have refunded two tenants that left my apartment better than they met it. Interesting thing was that the two actually moved to their own house.

Damage due to wear and tear, age and outdating is expected, but willful damage is indeed a crime. That level of damage there was wilfully done and not even the 250k can cover it.

One of the worst businesses you can do in Nigeria today is renting houses. It’s better to build and sell because renting is no longer a profitable business — it’s full of problems.

Honestly, I don't even know why people still build houses for rent nowadays. People are wicked, and humans are very difficult to deal with. If you own a house, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Some tenants, before paying you, will still stress you. Fact is, you don't put your hook on such money. Don't try it because you will be disappointed to stupor.

And if you are living with your tenants, just forget it — "see finish" will surely set in.

If you're also the type that interacts and smiles with them a lot, sorry is your name.

The best thing nowadays is to build and sell.

Think about it: if you build a house for tenants with ₦15 million, you might not be able to rent it out for more than ₦2 million a year. It will take you 7 years just to recover your building cost.

And after that seven is a lot of things would have worn out and you'd have to renovate before you sell – a total waste of time.

But if you build and put up for sell immediately, you could double your money in about 2 years (if you have good marketers/agents) — sometimes even faster. Not to even mention the numerous court cases and troubles like this that come with having tenants.

Property Rental Business is a very shitty and frustrating business. This is the last type of business I will ever do.

Some tenants will deliberately destroy things before moving out — not because they can't afford to pay, but just out of wickedness simply because they feel you don't deserve the money they pay you.

If you ain't ready for any court case and If you value your peace of mind, then avoid it completely.

If you're thinking of building a house for rent, my brother, come out from that road — there’s no light at the end oo! You're only planning to fall into a deep ditch.

I'm speaking from experience — based on everything I have seen my mum through while running property rental for the past twenty years alongside her family.

I hear you o. But I want to ask, what of those that are building for renting because of their age? Those that are building because they want to retire on it especially if they get old that they can't make money any other way? What do these do?

Let's chew on this. If you build and sell a house ...you have cash ... money dropped in the bank.no asset. If you build and rent ...you have cash ..it keeps coming ...and you have asset. Let's say after ten years of rent ... you have the same amount of cash than you would've sold the house for ...plus ..you still have the house. At this point ...the Naira depreciated a whole lot... the money you have stashed in the bank is barely enough for the foundation of a house. Meanwhile ...if you kept the house..that property value has gone through the roof ...and so has the rent. I do get it with bad tenants...but regardless...the actual rent will mostly be out back into maintenance of the house.

My advice is to build and rent...the difference is to whom? Not locals ...unless it's a company or rich person. I believe one will be better off to furnish the house and rent to overseas based people ...like families or persons on vacation ....return for occasions as in weddings..funerals ... people who are used to the amenities and are more likely to not do damage but more importantly....will stay for maybe a week and pay you the equivalent of at least a month's rent. Locals may need a place for the same situations...but you have to be verrry careful and due diligence is a must

do you know the meaning of caution fee?

tommy589:
Do due diligence before renting out. It may take time to get a tenant that meets expectations but it won't come with regrets

They don't write it on the forehead

There's nothing wrong to charge 5million Naira as caution fee as long as the tenant agrees to it.

Exactly, most landlords are evil. If you cheat your tenant, he ll make life difficult for you
