A female lawyer, Adwoa Osafredu Asubonteng, made a tweet educating tenants on their rights as a citizen. According to her, no landlord can send his tenants out of the house without a quit notice.
In her tweet, she informed tenants that this quit notice must also be from a law chamber with at least a six months period.
She also stated that during the six months period that you would be staying in the house, you don’t need to pay house rent to your landlord.

@ChiemekaNnorom1: “He must serve you a Quit Notice from a Law Chamber”, “you will not pay rent again within that 6 month”; these are FALSE. A quit notice can be written without using a law chamber. The full rent MUST be paid during the period of the quit notice. This is the law
@Nick_Wonder505: There seems to be a lot of muddling up of things here First and foremost, the length of notice as agreed in the tenancy agreement(if any), is what would bind the parties. Recourse to the provisions of the Lagos can only be had where there is no express agreement b/w parties.
@iam_slimdaddy: I’m going through this shit rn. My landlord increase the house rent without notifying me so I decided not to pay but I’d rather evacuate the apartment. Two weeks ago, i was served a seven day quit notice but I didn’t turn up because I’m yet to get another apartment. This morning,
