A Nigerian man cried out online as he shared an experience he had with a property agent of the building he lives in as a tenant.
The story he shared online got many people talking after he mentioned what happened when he called the landlord to discuss the incident.
The young man, @gkbalogs, started his story by explaining that he and several other tenants received an eviction notice from the property agent of the house he resides in.
However, when they reached out to the property agent to understand the reason for the notice, they were told that the decision was based on the landlord’s order that he wished to use his property.
Hearing this, the man said they negotiated with the agent, but he mentioned that a certain amount must be paid to change his mind.
The property agent gave an amount that was much higher than the current rent, and as a result, the tenants asked the property agent to officially write to them to request a rent increment.
He failed to do so, so they reached out to the landlord.
His statement in part:
Nigeria is a crime scene.Property agent brings an eviction notice signed by the landlord’s lawyer. We reach out to them to ask why. They say the landlord wants to use his building.
We ask what the options are. They say we may need to pay more for him to change his mind.
We ask how much. They give a figure 4x our current rent. I said haba, that’s ridiculous. They say we should make an offer.
As a result of the unfolding incident, the man decided to call the landlord, only for the landlord to reveal that he wasn’t aware of the matter.
He added: "We say okay, they should officially write to us demanding for increment, Na there wahala start.
They said no, we should make the offer. "After a few weeks, I searched, got landlord's number, and called him, and it happens he knew absolutely nothing about the entire drama. He was livid.
They are currently explaining themselves to the landlord… let's see how this plays out.
