His words:

"I think is my perception of life. I have high regard for people and treat them as I would like to be treated. That way, we build a mutually beneficial relationship anchored on respect for each other and living in harmony."

When asked why some landlords are always at loggerheads with their tenants and he said it boils down to character.

His words:

"It all boils down to the character and attitude of some landlords and tenants. Some landlords are very picky and they allow such character to influence their relationship with their tenants. They hardly see anything right in the actions and inactions of their tenants. That way, the tenants are always at log ahead with them. The same is applicable to some tenants, they are carefree, insolent and can't care for their own personal belongings not to talk of taking care of someone's property. Such attitude leaves them having issues with their landlords."

Landlord increases house rent

Meanwhile, a Nigerian man who owns a house increased the rent of the apartments, citing the increased cost of cement.

A viral story shared on X by Fitila indicates that the house is not new, as it was built 30 years ago.

However, the landlord is said to be hell-bent on getting more money from the house as the cost of cement climbs.
