In Nigeria

Last Updated: Sep 5, 2025

My landlady increased my house rent when I was not even a year in that house. My tenancy will expire next month. Not only the house rent she increased ooo, she increased the service charge, she was now saying if I can't pay, make me pack out...The  House I rented last year and u collected the agreement and commission with damages of 240k.... Please, what's your opinion on that? She increased the rent from 360k to 500k. Service charge from 70k to 100k

Try to work out a compromise, but if all efforts to settle fails. Just leave the premises at the end of your rent tenure. Call me on +2347574741137 or codunnilawsolicitor@gmail.com for further legal advice
