A tenant and his landlord are at odds over the number of vehicles parked at the tenant’s residence.
The tenant, who operates an Uber business, owns three cars that are essential for his livelihood.
However, the landlord has informed the tenant that he must remove the vehicles or face eviction, as he is violating the terms of the lease by using the residential property for commercial purposes.
The tenant argued that the cars only occupy parking space during specific hours when they are in use for Uber trips.
He maintains that the landlord’s decision is hindering his ability to earn a living and jeopardizing his business.
“My Landlord wants to Evict me because I have 3 cars. He said that, I have occupied the whole space in the compound.
But these cars are used for my Business, cos I hire it out to guys using it for Uber and they come to pick it in the morning and return it in the Night. What can I do? Seems the Landlord does not want Growth and Success for his Tenant.” he wrote.
The tenant’s situation has sparked mixed reactions online. Some people sympathize with the tenant, arguing that the landlord is being unreasonable and that the tenant should be allowed to park his cars on the property, as long as he is not causing any problems for other tenants.
Others side with the landlord, arguing that the man is violating the terms of the lease and that his commercial activity is disrupting the peace and quiet of the neighborhood.
David Elaigwu Abah said: “But the house you rented is for residential purpose not commercial so packing 3 cars especially when there is limited space for others to pack is wrong. “If you have three cars then your business is due to have an office where you can park them.”
Adebisi Ademola said: “The only issue here is if the landlord stays in the same compound and others are secretly complaining of the parking lot not equitably shared cos you are parking beyond the available space for you or probably you block others movement space.”
Chukwuma Victor A said: “Since is business cars, find a business garage to be packing them. Your landlord is not against your progress, rather you are the one disrupting the peace of the yard.”
