A British landlady has caused a stir online after she called the UK police on her Nigerian and Ghanaian tenant, alleging that his excessive cooking is raising her utility bills.
The story emerged from a viral TikTok video in which the landlady aired her frustrations.
She stated that she has been the property owner for nearly 30 years and has never encountered such high utility costs until she rented to this tenant.
In the video, she shared her concerns, saying:
“I told him to leave, he reads my texts and doesn’t reply. I call him, he ignores me. Whatever I do, he doesn’t respond.”
She elaborated on the financial burden:
“I’ve never had a £50 water bill in this house, but now I’m facing £400 to £500. My electricity bill used to be £99, and now it’s nearly £1,000 because he cooks every day, all day.”
