Landlords are
becoming more proactive these days. Having had unpleasant experience with a
tenant in the past, they don’t want to be caught unaware again. A landlady at
Ugbighoko decided to hand her house over to a lawyer even though she occupies
the first flat while the other is for tenant. The reason why she did this was
because her previous and first tenant messed up her apartment. Worse still, she
inherited a light bill from the tenant. She concluded that if a lawyer was in
charge, then she could effect certain action, the lawyer brought out a tenancy
agreement with a long list of dos and don'ts.

sanitation/normal routine maintenance
