The Landlord is required to clear up the bills and not you (the new tenant). Many landlords try to wave aside this issue. Make sure you opt in for a written agreement that the landlord pays up the outstanding bills. It is the landlord’s duty to make sure the utility bills are paid before the tenants vacate the property. One of the most important things to look out for when renting an apartment is to take note of outstanding utility bills. Many Lagosian do not pay attention to this. However, If you are already in such situation, you can fix a meeting with the property manager and the landlord on how to resolve the issue. #LasgidiGist #LandlordPalava #shareyourstory
