In other news…… A Nigerian lady has cried out over a sharp increase in her house rent, which her landlord raised to ₦700,000 in Edo State after earlier increments from ₦280,000 to ₦350,000.
Her ordeal was shared in a post on X (formerly Twitter) by user @ChuksEricE, who narrated the tenant’s frustration with the constant rent hikes.
She revealed that despite several messages sent to the landlord by herself and other tenants, he never responded. According to her, she returned home one day to find a document placed at her doorstep, only to discover it was a letter from the landlord’s lawyer.
The letter instructed her to pay the new rent of ₦700,000 before December or vacate the apartment.
Expressing her displeasure, she wrote:
“At this point, can we all drag the landlord? Because this morning I just saw this at my door. I opened it and saw lawyers sent me papers from my landlord that house rent is from ₦350,000 to ₦700,000, and I must pay this money by December.
If I can’t afford it, I should pack out. Mind you, our house rent was ₦280,000, they increased it to ₦350,000 and we didn’t complain. Now ₦700,000? In this small Edo State? What is the reason for this increment? We wrote the landlord, he doesn’t reply.”
The post quickly drew attention online, with many Nigerians reacting and sharing their thoughts in the comment section.
