Tenants stunned as landlord tells them he wants to sell their house to someone else

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a landlord had notified his tenants of 13 years of his desire to sell their house to someone else.

Having rented the house they live in for 13 years, they were heartbroken to learn that the landlord intended to sell it.

The landlord agreed to sell them the house, but then the Singletons did not have enough money for a down payment.

The tenants however have their neighbours to thank for as they not only stood by them during the loss of family members but have also joined hands to ensure they were not evicted from their house.
