Abstract

Tenant eviction is almost inevitable but most stakeholders have suffered various degrees of loss and hardship. This paper examines the socioeconomic characteristics of tenants evicted from residential properties over a period of ten years (2001-2010) in Ilorin Metropolis with a view to proffering recommendations that would solve housing and other problems associated with eviction. There were 1,446 evicted tenants from residential properties by registered estate surveyors and valuers within the studied period. 10% of these were selected by stratified random sampling technique, and surveyed with structured questionnaire. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics. The study revealed that the majority of evicted tenants were low income civil servants whose annual income is below N120.000 ($750 US) who were evicted from flats and tenement buildings. Over 75% of the tenants were evicted from low income properties.
