How long should you live in a house as a tenant?

Shelter being one of the most essential needs for living concerns every being. Therefore, its either you are a tenant or a landlord. As usual on Nigeria Real Estate hub, we try to discuss issues as it concerns us all and create the platform to share your opinions.

The topic for today goes thus; ‘How long should you live in a rented house before transition, either to another rented place or better still, “sacking your Landlord” all together? Below are some of the responses we got:

 

Banke Akinwale – “3 years or more. Depending on your income to build or buy yours”

Ifeoma – “As long as you are comfortable with your present space and not having Landlord issues, I don’t think there is any need to move unless you are going to your own house, like you said – sacking your landlord…LOL”

Jide Owoniyi – “well, it depends, I am a bachelor and when I am ready to get married, I am sure I wont want to start my family in the same house which I lived through my bachelorhood. If the money is there, I would rather have my own house or move. I must move sha”

Wunmi – “I like this matter sha, because it concerns me personally. I practically grew up where I live now, I am 22 years of age and from what I remember, I have always lived all my life in that particular house. Its really annoying because its not my parents’ house. I crave for a change of environment but my parents don’t see the need to. I can’t wait to get married so I can move.”

Lekan – “if I am comfortable, I won’t move until I need more space or for genuine reasons. “No need to dey move up and down na”

  1. In the developed country, i don’t think the populace see shelter as a want bcos generally it’s a basic need that is equally provided (not saying few are not homeless anyway). the need to change ur present place is a COST except if there is no alt (security or u av ur own personal house).
