In other news, A British landlady has gone viral after calling the police on her Nigerian-Ghanaian tenant, accusing him of cooking too frequently and drastically increasing her utility bills.
The controversy emerged through a widely shared TikTok video where the landlady vented her frustrations about the tenant’s habits. She claimed that in nearly 30 years of owning the property, she had never seen utility bills so high—until now.
In her words:
“I told him to leave, he reads my texts and doesn’t answer. I call him, he ignores me. Whatever I do, he doesn’t respond.”
She went on to detail the spike in her household expenses:
“I’ve never paid £50 for a water bill in this house, now I’m paying £400 to £500. I used to pay £99 for electricity, now it’s nearly £1,000 because he cooks every day, all day.”
The video has triggered a wave of online reactions, with users debating whether the landlady’s complaint was justified or discriminatory. While some sympathized with her rising costs, others pointed to cultural misunderstandings, legal tenant rights, and the basic human need for regular meals.
The incident has reopened conversations about how landlords handle shared utilities, the responsibilities of tenants, and the challenges of multicultural living arrangements in the UK.
