Lagos assembly should pass law on house

It is a great privilege for we lagosians having Governor Fashola as our state leader.......The issue of landlord and tenency should be give a critical look most especially...The 2/3 years upfront payment which is too much, commission and agency fee also as did during the Col.Buba Marwa former Military governor of lagos State...To be sincere, the agents are the greatest exploiter in lagos .......

Landlord and Tenants Issue

It will be a good thing if the Government can do something reasonable and practicable to it. I want us to note that a developer who borrowed money at high rate to build will definitley wants to make profit. Government is selling a two bed room above N3,000,000 if one use their mortgage to buy such you will end up paying over N10,000,000. they should work on the econmony, to bring down every other things. they will only put the masses on thight corner again; the rent edict price price is it what is going around the town now. please let them do something that is practicable.

House issue

It is too bad that someboy can work for the whole year only to work to the agent because he will like to collect his agent fee of 50,000-80.000 thousand. i thank govt, should go sit down and check how they try to bring it down where the masses can afford it, it will nice see our law takin decission on this matter very soon.

re

I think it a right thing to consider, the problem is nt even the landlords re not the problems, but the so called agent, cos there too many quacks among them.

Tenancy Law

I'd suggest that Lagos state government construct houses, even if not for outright sale, it could profit the government to be a landlord, another thing is the registration of agents and how much they can collect as commission, one of the worse problems with housing in Lagos is when an agent makes away with money 
what about agreement? are landlords not meant to return it when tenants move out, these are issues

Tenancy Law

Housing has become a very worrisome issue in Nigeria. This bill the Lagos state government is considering is another but only way the excesses of landlords in Nigeria could be check-mated. we have in every state in Nigeria State Ministry of Housing, the effect of their office had not been felt by the Nigerian. The Federal Ministry of Housing is another area of serious concern. They should as a matter of necessity make the good use of their office by providing the country an affordable housing for all. 
the federal government should not forget what their workers take home as minimum wage. Especially those in government parastatals. The minimum wage is of course nothing to write home about considering the value of naira today. 
Delta State, Rivers and the Federal Capital territory is another session of Nigeria who need to do some thing concerning the exorbitant cost of accommodation. Delta for instance should face this challenge by building as much as ten estate in ten Local government area of the state and see what accomodation problem will be like in the shortest possible time. 
Effort should be made also to check mate the cost of land and building materials since this is the major factor which had force landlord wanting the return on their investment in a short period of time. Meeaningful Nigerian should also invest in estate management, and return investment abroad to facilitate affordable housing for all before 2020.  
Finally, federal government should not hesitate to pass into law cost of various appartment-2bedroom, 3bedroom, 4bedroom, self contained, bed sitter, and a single room; and advance payment for any accomodation should not for any reason exceed six month payment. Thanks to you all, Nigerians.
