Lady Gets Quit Notice After Spending ₦4 Million on Apartment Renovation Without Written Agreement
A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to warn others about the risks of oral rental agreements, after receiving a quit notice just two months after spending ₦4 million to renovate a severely damaged apartment.
In her emotional post, she wrote:
> "I’m sharing my story to warn others about the dangers of oral agreements. I don’t even know where to start..."
She explained that the apartment was in poor condition, and based on a verbal agreement with the landlord, she invested heavily in repairs—covering costs for plumbing, electricals, flooring, and painting.
Despite her efforts and expenses, the landlord served her a quit notice without any compensation or formal explanation, highlighting the vulnerability tenants face when there’s no written contract.
The story has sparked widespread reactions online, with many urging tenants to always insist on legally binding agreements to protect their rights.
