Lady served quit notice after renovating apartment
Identified as @berniceglam2 on TikTok, the lady narrated what she allegedly went through in the hands of her landlord.
The apartment, which was initially in a poor state, had undergone an impressive makeover courtesy of the tenant, who spared no expense in upgrading the space.
She purchased tiles, hired a painter, and worked on the toilet facilities, among other renovations.
However, her efforts were seemingly unappreciated by the landlord, who chose to serve her a quit notice, causing her to remove all the installations she added, including tiles, electrical fittings, and wiring.
In her words:
"My landlord gave me quit notice barely six months after renovation. Some landlords are definitely going to hell straight. This is a video of the apartment before I rented it. This is the first batch of tiles I bought that wasn't even enough. I had to buy the second batch. I called a painter to paint. I also worked on the toilet and did some other things. Jokes on them because I eventually removed everything that I installed in that house. My tiles, the electrical, the wiring, everything, except the paint. I didn't touch the paint because I was already tired."

@Adedeji said:
"The law is not emotional. You should have made an agreement with your landlord, that you would renovate the property, and that after renovations at your own expense, he shall wait at least 5 years before he could decide to terminate your tenancy or not."
@Ayanfeoluwa Olayemi Agboola said:
"That is why you don't renovate houses that the landlord is living there, and also it is better you find a good apartment that has everything you want."
@abikem_ store commented:
"My shop landlady too can not die well she thinks I will beg after quite notice dey play shop wey the sales no dey encouraging anymore."
@Hadeeza Adam reacted:
"Why una Dey renovate people property with this kyn money? I was a student and married and I lived comfortably in my hubbys house but the house I rented used very poor paint to paint till I leave I no touch their property one day. Paint even peel and I no retouch."
@BESTFASHIONVENDORWARRI said:
"Tell me why someone will remodel your house from a dump like this to something beautiful and that’s when you’ll know you need your house back."
@ADEDAMOLA added:
"Greedy people. You see fine place and suddenly give them 6 month notice, so you can inflate the price to the next person."
