Can someone please advice on how to collect house keys from a tenant who happens to be a lawyer. This house is in Ibadan and this tenant has refused to pay for almost two years now and has also refused to give up the keys despite several promises made by him to vacate. He has boosted that the lawyer who was hired by the landlord is "one of his boys." It appears to me he wants to use the judicial system to delay and waste the landlord's time and money. By the way, he has abandoned the house as he resides in Lagos. please lawyers in the house....help or others who have experienced this to please share how they resolve the issue.

Use the judiciary.


Follow due process.

If its one of his boys, mk sure he delivers if not change lawyer.


Ensure ds lawyer pays.

Are all the lawyers in the area "his boys"

Get a competent lawyer and take him to court. He's not above the law.

Enquire from at least 3 different lawyers the steps to take to evict him.

Follow those steps.

Could he be reported to the bar? Any advice from the lawyers in the house
What is a reasonable price to litigate an eviction case in Ibadan?

Hi

Any more suggestions

I how my dad showed one of his tenets about three years ago who was forming bad guy. He didn't want to leave and still sued my dad for disturbing his privacy

That's how my sister who is a lawyer just told him to tell the court that he wanted the man out because he wanted to give it to me his son as a birthday gift(which was not true lol!)

He won the case and the man park comot and paid the four months he owed(imagine owing four months rent of a house in ikeja where rent is gold)

You might modify this and give the court a better reason. the court will always want to be in your interest

Bye it's my birthday nairalanders show some love

Charge the case to court, then follow due process in getting necessary documents that can nail him down. There are still honest judges around, if the case is clean, with or without lawyer u will win

That's wickedness, get a better lawyer

Go through normal process and sue him

My brother that is a case you may never win...there are too many precedents he will choose from to thwart all your efforts.

Take him to court lawyer or no lawyer he must pay you for those two years. And by the time he pays he will definitely beg you to pls collect your house keys.
That lawyer is a fool, did he think he can do anything and get away with it? Check him he is not a SAN or it maybe he has not ed his bar and he is operating illegally.
No real lawyer will try this with such chicken change

He should go and get a lawyer too so they can battle it out in court

Can't d locks be changed?

they won't come and talk now but if it's landlord giving tenant wahala they'll rush down. bro pls get another lawyer

Karma always dishes out revenge to people like this in a creative way. but for now. get another lawyer.

Get a very good lawyer from the Office of the Public Defender for FREE and sue him. If you have a good case and a good lawyer you will return richer than you are.

U dey fear lawyer?
Write the lawyer
If his response is poor, copy the bar association.

That's way cheaper than going to court.

Break the door jor. If na em papa own the house e will tell u. Lawyer using my own house to play lube. E dey m*d ni
