A Nigerian landlord has introduced a controversial rule that tenants must abide by if they wish to remain on his property. According to him, the measure was put in place for personal reasons.
The new regulation, which was captured in a notice pasted on the compound wall, bans female tenants from wearing short skirts and also forbids both male and female tenants from engaging in what he described as call girl activities within the building.

She added that she supported the move, arguing that decency should be encouraged among tenants.
“It is very good, some of you will rent house and be wearing your miniskirt up and down, seducing people’s husbands. Dress decent, there’s dignity in decency.”
The video, which was later reshared by social media user @ChuksEricE, quickly spread across platforms, attracting mixed reactions. While some netizens supported the landlord’s stance, others criticised it.

Landlord raises rent
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian lady shared how she returned from the market only to be greeted with an unexpected letter from her landlord’s lawyers.
The notice informed her that her annual rent, which was ₦1.2 million, had been increased to ₦1.8 million. She questioned the sharp increment, pointing out that the landlord had not carried out any form of renovation or improvement on the property.
