Landlord Reportedly Serves Tenant Eviction Notice For Having Three Cars

• A landlord in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, issued a quit notice to a tenant.
• The reason for the notice was the tenant’s ownership of multiple cars.
• The tenant owned two cars and had recently bought a third for his wife.

In a surprising turn of events, a landlord in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, has reportedly issued a quit notice to his tenant due to the tenant’s ownership of multiple cars. The landlord allegedly became upset after learning that the tenant not only owned two cars but had also purchased a third vehicle for his wife.

The incident was shared by a young man, Nelson Igboke, on his Facebook page, where he recounted the situation that took place in the heart of the city. According to Igboke’s post, the landlord approached the tenant and told him he needed to leave the property. The landlord reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with the tenant’s possession of multiple cars and even went as far as advising him to go and build his own house.

This unusual request has sparked debate on social media, with many questioning the reason behind the landlord’s decision. Some people have speculated that the landlord’s action might be driven by personal reasons, while others believe that the landlord could have been concerned about the tenant’s financial stability or the potential impact of the cars on the property.

In Nigeria, issues like this are not uncommon, where landlords sometimes impose strict rules on tenants, and in rare cases, such disputes lead to tenants being asked to leave. The full details of the disagreement remain unclear, but this incident has certainly caught the attention of many residents in Abakaliki and beyond.

“At Okwase street Abakaliki, landlord just gave his tenant quit notice b/c he had 2 cars and just bot a 3rd one for his wife. The landlord asked him to go and build his own house,” he wrote on Monday.
