5 Types Of Tenants You Will Find In Every Lagos Compound

Published by Nairaland on Fri, 08 Aug 2025


<blockquote>In Lagos, you dont just rent a houseyou rent an experience. From shared corridors to compound meetings that never end in peace, Lagos housing comes with a variety of characters that make life unforgettable (or traumatic).<br><br>Here are 5 types of tenants youll definitely find in every Lagos compoundand if you cant find them, you just might be the one. Eyes Of Lagos reports,<br><br>1. <b>The Landlords Niece (aka Madam Authority)</b><br><br>Shes not paying rent, but youd think she built the house with her bare hands. She knows when you left the gate open, when your girlfriend visits, and shes always the first to report you during compound meetings.<br>Even the caretaker greets her with two hands.<br><br> Catchphrase: I will tell Uncle!<br><br>2. <b>The Borrow &amp; Never Return Association (BNRA)</b><br><br>This one will borrow gas, salt, engine oil, even slippers. And somehow, they never return it. If you say no, theyll form pity or call you wicked. If you say yes, kiss your item goodbye.<br><br> Catchphrase: Abeg, just manage me small, na this week salary I dey wait.<br><br>3. <b>The Generator General (aka Noise Factory)</b><br><br>This tenants generator can wake the dead. It starts before NEPA goes and only stops when fuel finishes. Worse, they put it near your window. You want peace, but they want lightand in Lagos, light wins.<br><br> Catchphrase: No vex, na small gen, e no dey make noise like before.<br>(Lies.)<br><br>4. <b>The Invisible Tenant</b><br><br>You only see this person once a monthusually at 11:58pm, dragging Ghana-Must-Go into the house. Nobody knows where they work or how they survive, but rent is always paid on time.<br>They dont attend compound meetings. They dont owe anybody. They are ghosts with a receipt.<br><br> Catchphrase: None. They dont speak.<br><br>5. <b>The Speaker of the House</b><br><br>This one thinks the compound is a club. Loud music from sunrise to midnightfrom Fuji to Fela to DJ YK. They host parties every Friday, argue on phone outside at 2am, and somehow never get tired.<br><br> Catchphrase: No vex, na my people. We go soon low the volume.<br>(Volume never low.)<br>Final Thoughts:<br><br>Living in Lagos isnt just about rentits about tolerance, drama, and soft survival. Whether youre on the mainland or island, in a flat or self-con, these characters will always find a way into your life.<br><br>So the next time someone knocks and says abeg, borrow me matches, rememberyoure not alone. Youre just in Lagos.</blockquote><br><a rel=ugc href="https://eyesoflagos.com/5-types-of-tenants-youll-find-in-every-lagos-compound/">https://eyesoflagos.com/5-types-of-tenants-youll-find-in-every-lagos-compound/</a>
