Landlady reacts to tenants installing solar panels
She went on to cite many reasons for her decision while providing an alternative solution for her tenants/people online that are interested in living in her rented apartments.
According to her, installing solar panels on her roof could pose a risk of fire outbreak on her property due to poor quality panels. She also spoke about her roof damage.

She said in the video:
"I will never allow a tenant to install solar panels in my house, never. Because if I have about 10 or 13 tenants and everyone is installing solar panels without my permission, what if one person brings an inferior panel or hires an incompetent company that ends up burning down my house? Will you just tell me ‘Aunty, sorry’? Don’t even try it! Do not put solar panels on my roof."
Bringing up an alternative, she suggested that tenants use inverters and batteries instead.
In her words:
"If you need solar panels, go and build your own house. You can get an inverter and batteries, but don’t put panels on my building. Don't even come to ask for permission because the answer will be no."
She also lists other grievances like noise pollution, not giving room for appropriate parking space, and also gossip among tenants.
Surprisingly, she frames her strictness as a form of "tough love", arguing that if she makes life too comfortable, tenants will never be motivated to save money and build their own homes.
