Group alerts over violation of Lagos tenancy law

Vanguard reports that a civil society organisation, the Save Lagos Group has raised an alarm over widespread abuse of the Lagos State Tenancy Law by house owners in the state, with a call on the state government to live up to its obligations of enforcing the law.

Vanguard reports that according to the Save Lagos Group, there is the need for the state government to save tenants in the state from the house owners who are flouting the law which stipulates that prospective and current tenants must pay only six months rents.

The Save Lagos Group in a statement issued by the Convener, Comrade Adeniyi A Sulaiman and the Director, Media, Comrade Olaolu Oladipo also lamented that the home owners have been conniving with some legal practitioners to obtain fictitious judgements that are used for eviction purposes, Vanguard reports.
