Omo, I am not even done furnishing my house, and they've sent a rent renewal email. Jesus be a shield.

I have a genuine question.
Who sat down and decided that rent should expire? I need names! Because this policy has been tormenting innocent Nigerians for years. I just received my rent renewal notice and I laughed then I “cackled” 😭😂
If there’s one thing about adulthood that nobody prepared me for, it is rent expiration! Rent expires? As if it’s Peak Milk. Did I consume the house? Can someone explain to me why rent is treated like yoghurt?
I genuinely believe this system is flawed.
For starters, I have not even finished furnishing the house 😭 (Screams internally): Make una help me eh…
How is one year over already???I’m still telling myself, “Next month buy my PS5.”My Temu cart is still very much angry at me for keeping it there that long. One room still echoes because nothing is inside and you’re telling me it’s time to renew?
Renew what exactly? I’ve barely premiered in this house. The funniest part is that I don’t even stay at home because of work, events and travel, some weeks my neighbours don’t even know whether I’ve relocated.
There are months my apartment only accommodates:
My fridge, microwave
One router blinking faithfully.
My dog
NEPA bill.
That’s it and meanwhile my rent is reducing every day like MTN data. Why?
Who is using the house on my behalf? I think Nigeria needs to introduce Rent Rollover, the same way unused data rolls over. If I travel for 12 days, add those 12 days back, abeg. If I’m sleeping in Abuja because of work, why is my Lagos rent still counting? Pause am! If my office sends me on a two-week trip, my landlord should also send me a two-week extension. It’s only fair.
DSTV lets you suspend your subscription. Gym membership can be frozen. Even event tickets can be rescheduled but landlord is like “whether you sleep there or not, the calendar is calendaring.” No compassion + can we also talk about the psychological warfare that is rent renewal emails?
They don’t even greet properly. No “Hope you’re enjoying your home.” Just... “Your tenancy expires on...”
Did I buy bread? How does a house expire?
I’ve not even recovered from paying agency, agreement, caution fee, legal fee, service charge, generator levy, security levy, contribution for gate, contribution because somebody’s goat entered the compound... Now we’re back here again.
Sometimes I think landlords and December have a secret WhatsApp group. Both of them arrive faster than expected.
Honestly, this adulthood was oversold. As children, they said, You’ll grow up, have your own place and enjoy freedom.” Nobody mentioned that every 12 months you’ll have a mini heart attack because one email/WhatsApp message can erase your savings account.
The annoying part? People were laughing when I tweeted about my rent renewal like what’s funny, bro??? 😡🥶 I was not joking. That tweet came from a place of pain. A very expensive place.
Anyway..., if anyone knows where to submit a bill for Rent Rollover in Nigeria, let me know. I already have 47 signatures. My dog and router signed too because at this point I just want my mummy. 😭😂
It’s hard to believe, but we’re finally here.

Before You Go today, hear this:
2027 is upon us. This means that the presidential elections are upon us. If we say we want a new leader, we must be willing to put in the work. The first and important thing to do is to GET YOUR PVC as PVC registration closes this month.
This is one of the simplest ways to help build it because societies don’t only get the culture they reward; they also get the leaders they elect.
It takes only a few minutes.
