Top 7 Ways to live peacefully In A Rented Apartment In Lagos

2. Taking sides when the landlord has issues with another tenant

Another mortal sin Lagos landlords hate more than anything is always taking sides with other tenants whenever there is an issue.

They expect you to always support them even if they are in the wrong which, more often than not, is the issue.

Lagos landlords expect you to support them in any altercation with other tenants and you must show it in the open that you are on their side.

Issues like payment of bills should not make you support your co-tenant because when you do, the landlord will see you as the one instigating other tenants against him.

If you cannot support the landlord while he is having a confrontation with other tenants and agree with whatever he says, be ready to look for another apartment even when your rent is not due.

So whatever you think and whatever opinion you have, do not voice it out.

3. Your landlord must be right at all time

Every Lagos landlord has a right to be right at all times and even if you think he is wrong, just shut up and let him have the field.

No landlord in Lagos likes to keep a rebel leader in his house and that includes the tenant that believes he knows it all.

Know that he owns the house and can decide to run it like a Field Marshall and there is nothing you can do about it.

If you are a night crawler who comes home late, do not argue when he tells you that the gate to his compound closes at 8 pm. At such times, he is the gateman to the house and if you are a marked man, God saves you from your night crawling because he will make sure you are locked out even if you come back at two minutes past 8.
