Truth be told these two people are nice and gentle people. If the guy had pleaded for reduction , I have no doubt the landlady wiould have agreed. God bless them both and the justice court family.

Judge FUNMI wades into this matter Wahala no dey finish for this Nigeria 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

The level of arrogance of some people in this country. Select the type of tenants you want in your house shikena

Evidence is very important...kudos to the woman

I was feeling pity for him until I listened their recorded conversation, He is entitled

Hmmmmmm😢😢😢😢... that's all i can deduced from today's judgement. For All the men out there!! who are hustling to be responsible for their love ones,may God bless you all....I saw a Nice man with so much respect for elderly but lack capacity to express himself and was frustrated with situations around him then bursted into anger yet his sense of respect is still intact.. secondly i saw a woman who needed money but have to trap his tenant in order to get enough evidence in order to compell him to pay his money..No matter what you do as a person seek for advice from professional not those who will be biased or sentimental towards you because it will help you to defeat common hurdles.. Peace

Judge Asaolu should come to come to the level of those people who can't express themselves in queen's English for their understanding. Everyone speaks pidgin English in Nigeria.

The tenant was kind of very rude with the landlady on that voice note and i bet he never saw that coming

He has the money,he doesn't just want to pay.

His attitude is wrong and that is what the judge is trying to make him realize but he still not getting it.

I truly appreciate the approach taken by Judge Funmi on this season. Her professionalism in handling matters is commendable and adds a special touch to the proceedings. Thank you for your excellent work.

It is well my brother, you're a Man. As God lives, you will build your own house in Jesus mighty name. Mummy landlady, thank you so much for being understanding.

Great Judge, great lady! Issues swiftly resolved using the 'carrot and stick' strategy, backed by LAW. Nigeria needs more of the Justice Court and Judge Funmis.

Our manners of approach matters a lot…❤

To go to a new place will involve paying more!

This guy forgot or he did not know that those old school Londoners are good in keeping records and facts. Guy just Dey play. You should have begged the woman before everything degenerated but he wanted to outsmart the intelligent woman.

It is better for the landlord get him out of her house. He feels he is entitled to determine the rent for the house.

The judgement is well organized.

For person house you dey talk I can’t 😂😂😂😂

The landlord is nice, but the tenant did not approach her calmly. The landlord would have agreed to the 230k prior to coming to court with a better approach. Thanks to Justice Court for an amicable settlement.

Fair judgement. 👏🏾

Even if is one day......well the woman did well with him. I pray things work out with him as he plans

God bless this landlady!❤

How so sad, how so foolish and callous of this tenant to try to -take advise from someone else, and then victimise a recently widowed lady, you actually got on with the late husband - a point he didn’t disprove when put to him!!!….. Love of MONEY INDEED IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL

I fear people who record their chat with other people.. They have all the evidence always.

Happy weekend the justice court😊

judge funmi my honor i admire ur sense of judgement.

It is very important to have evidence, especially during court case.i feel for the guy, he can't express himself properly, and the landlady is very smart. Kudos to judge Funmi, always on point. 👏

Fair Judgement

That guy didn’t want to let down his alpha male ego and beg the landlady. May be because of the other person who was instigating him. This was a simple case of discussion.

I dont think 50k increament is so bad with one year notice, the landlady was quite fair

They both are not bad. Illiteracy is the guy's main problem.

The guy is egocentric and finds it difficult to appeal to his landlady. 50k is too much to add to rent. I think govt needs to regulate rent and determine when rent can be increased.

It’s his arrogance that put him in trouble 😎

Good to you all and win today

This guy has alot to say but illiteracy is a bridge.

Almighty Allah will continue bless ur knowledge and wisdom Judge Funmi Ashaolu I am impressed and proud of you every time😊😊😊😊

Judge funmi, you are too wonderful. God will continue to uplift you ma

I feel your pain guy it is well

God ALMIGHT will bless this , great JUGDE , She is one of the best JUGDE in Nigeria, MA you will Live Long in the name of OLODUMARE ASEE OOO

Wise judge

The man is not a troublesome person, economy isn’t smiling at anyone and he also have difficulty expressing himself

I feel the pain of this man

Hello Judge Funmi, Please can i pay the 30, 000 balance for him. Please reach out.

Happy weekend everyone 🙏

I really feel for the guy😢 is that having problem wit manners of approach 😮don’t worry God will lift you to build your own house 😢what a good landlady and judge indeed ❤❤

This judgement has to be Naija law. You don’t make me sign a receipt with is a binding contract then months later tell me to bring back the receipt so I can sign another one. Like if u made a mistake, that’s your fault. You suck it up and wait till the next rent payment to get him to sign for the new rent increment. In my opinion, judge ruled based on biased view, compelled the defendant to a yes or no answer knowing fully well he didn’t comprehend what she was talking about.

I feel for the guy. But I also understand landlord position. Sometimes u just have to humble yourself and please for grace.

People shaa like embarrassing themselves. Money you could have paid or pleaded for time to pay up. Now you still have to pay the money after appearing on national television. You see an educated, wise and calm woman like this and you think you can mess with her. A woman that documents even the phone call she have with you. People dey try shaa.

The only real judge in this IDP camp.

The man has a sense of entitlement. If you can't afford the rent, move! Don't make your problem her problem. She has expenses. He tried to lie but she had proof.

Landlady 3yrs is too early for increment ooooo... Haabaaaa.... Despite the economy situation..... Am very sure the building will be all dis old houses in lagos oooooo.... House owners pls lets be considerate sometimes oooooo..... Kudos to my landlord and landlady God bless you both... How many years no increment... They have been like a father and mother to me... If i finish my building i will never stress my tenants ooooo Cos God is the owner of land...

Wawa guy! He is dishonest and undermined the intelligent landlady. Is school a scam?

God bless all the men out there to build there own house

Truth be told, the late husband didn't make a mistake as the woman was trying to paint. If you decded to increase rent, its within your right!

The problem in Africa is no tenants right. 17,8% increment is too high. Here in Europe it is 3-5% max. and there must be a reason like some big renovation like bathroom remodeling, kitchen remodeling or windows and plumbing changing. If you rent is 760 euros, it will increase between 15 to 20e and not 135€. Dey don't born any landlords to increase rent from 760 to 895.

Good judgement

Judge Funmi always wading into the matter in the most wise manner. Also, my eyes caught the name of the late Legend Pat Nebo (Set designer). Thanks to all of you in the team for immortalising him and give us a little behind the scene shot with him. May his soul continue rest well with the lord.

Evidence plentyyyy 😂😂😂😂

You intend increasing the rent ,was there any renovation conducted in the house …let us human be fair to ourselves

More than 20% increase in rent within two years of tenancy is not justified. The government should do something urgently to address this madness by Lagos state landlords.

Manner of approach

When looking for a place to rent check if the owner is a woman, educated or not educated landladies you can't outsmart them, so think twice before signing anything with them. Be very smart.

Thanks judge fumi

When the receipt was given to the tenant by the Landlady husband he never wrote that the tenant will pay 280K on the next rent, it was when the Landlady returned from UK that she went to the tenant and asked him to return the receipt given to him by her husband. But the tenant declined and the Landlady went and wrote another receipt and included the 280K to be paid in the up coming rent which the tenant refuse to collect. Why is the Landlady now lying in the court that she indicate that 280K will be paid on the next rent meanwhile she is not the one that issued the receipt and only do that with another receipt when she returned from UK and the tenant refuse to collect because he already has substantive receipt earlier given to him by the Landlord which dose not bear the said 280K.

My rent expired last year 31st October and my landlord younger brother and son insisted i should pay a new rent from #150k - 200k without any notification or previous discussion in respect to such increasement.

I'm a landlord, and I don't issue receipts to tell that he would pay the same next time, they only notify change of amount. So the guy is right. The husband never indicated any additional amount meaning he expects him to pay the same amount of rent. Commonsense.

Chai..ije uwa..I just pity the young man 😢

Wait oo, I thought rule of lagos state is that a landlord is not supposed to increase house rent until after 4years of the tenant in the house. If I am wrong please correct me.

Judge, you should have checked the date of the recording

What is going on in Nigeria that the Landlady made such additional increase? Especially, that guy appears to be unlettered, and he did not seem to understand what they were writing on the receipts.

Judge Funmi is a reasonable professional woman who delivers judgment with utmost fairness. I loved the way she settled the matter between them The plaintiff and defender were happy. Both parties are well-considered.

Judge funmi is always looking fine❤❤❤❤❤

So sad Nigeria economy but some landlords should try and put mercy to person. This woman purposely did this.. look at her response about the guy and her husband.is all about morals, understanding and considerate.i feel for the guy

Please let try to look into a matter not by emotion alone.. people are hear talking about that the land lady is playing smart.. the voice note proves the guy is aware , and is either to plead for extension of time or leave the house !... Its painfull in these economy but landlords are still landlords, is their house , the best thing to do is to plead for extension of time or leave the house ,not drag with the owner of the house!

Chaiiii mummy came with evidences ooo😂😂

Please how can one get justice court contact, their number is not connecting.

Judge funmi, please ma i need the guy's account i want to pay the 50k

Just 2 years!!?? This landlords n land Ladies should consider people with this present situation of the country. So every 2yrs, she ll be adding money. Its not fair.

All this land lady are like that because them have money brother God almighty will give you your own house God is not sleeping he will visit you very soon

I have this feeling that this guy is saying the truth, the landlady didn't inform him on time, just that he can't express himself properly. Judge funmi try dey speak pidgin abeg you, e get why.

All this mommy GO landlady. There wahala no be here....

Are people willfully ignoring the fact that they had a contract that he would pay 280 for the 3rd year? Or am I the only person hearing this?

Chaiiii i feel pity for the guy ,this nigeria economy ehhhh.nawa oo

I feel for the guy

Happy weekend my fellow justice court titan's 😂

Education is mandatory. I really struggled to understand this man...gosh!

The way this judge react to those who can defend themselves properly is disgusting

Smart widow

Who noticed that Akim is looks slim and thin, hope he's ok

Does it mean landlord or Landlady could just increase rent to any amount he or she wants ? No housing authority control.

How can i been in the show please

Ibo people with pride. U are owing , and dicttating to her. U get luck she accepted. If i were d one, u would leave my house. Nonsense.

This is the problem with pride and arrogance, instead of pleading and apologizing you want to carry shoulder, the shoulder has been broken now, you still can’t plead, he’s running mouth. Smh people lack basic home training and manners. Broke and prideful 😂

Find that guy for me

If I understand the young man well, when he paid his rent to his landlord, he was not told of any increment come his next renewal. That's his point I guess😢

They're is no evidence like call recorded kudos to the landlady thank her as well for reconciliation may God help the young man we should kmow the type of advice ll take from people the women make statements abouts the guy character as very good person even when her husband was alive

I bet to disagree, so does it mean that every landlord can just increase their rend when they want. Is there no suppose to be a number of year a tenant will use before the landlord can increase rent

I feel for the guy. Why do we increase rent without having empathy on the tenants as if life depends on it? When you are blessed, you should be a blessing to others too. We need to be considerate with tenants knowing fully well the guy has made efforts to pay.

Nigeria constitution on when a landlord or landlady should increase rent should be stated clearly because some landlady and landlord are heartless and greedy always looking for new agreement and damages money
