Tenant shares story as landlady threatens arrest
The man, identified by his X handle @papshine_t, explained that the living conditions became completely unbearable for him.
According to him, the house came with strict restrictions on when residents could power their heavy appliances.
He revealed that the landlady refused to refund him for the remaining three months' rent he had paid for, prompting him to keep the apartment keys. However, because of his actions, he disclosed that the landlady threatened him with an arrest.
He wrote on his X page:
"Finally moved out of my landlady’s house. The wahala was too much. No gen after 9pm. No gen on weekend afternoons. Too many rules. Had to leave. Gave her notice. Asked for my 3 months refund. She said no. So I left… with the key.
"My logic? Key stays with me until my rent expires in September. Or she refunds me. Now she’s threatening to get me arrested. For a key to an apartment I paid for.😂"
