The sister said she acted according to her sister's words. The lady added that the backyard does not have running water, and she had to fetch water from another compound.

In a clip, the tenant claimed that the landlord got angry and threw their clothes on the bare floor. She cried, wondering why her family would be treated in such a dehumanising manner when she was not owing rent.

She recalled she once had an issue with the landlord, who slapped her because she reported that the water in their house was not running.
