A Nigerian woman has appealed for help when her landlord locked her room just days after she moved into the property because of an unpaid 1,500 NEPA payment.
In a recently released video, the young woman greets her landlady and moves in closer.
The landlord, though, seems unimpressed by the greeting.
The tenant asks why her room is locked anyway, unfazed by the answer. In response, the landlord says that unless the tenant pays the 1,500 naira electricity payment, she won’t release the room.
Despite the tenant’s response that she hasn’t even started using electricity because her connection hasn’t been established, the landlady insists on the payment because she fears that the tenant will object once the connection is active.
The landlady maintains her ownership of the property and her control despite the tenant’s protests.
Until the 1,500 NEPA bill is paid, the landlord orders the tenant to find alternate housing either outside or somewhere else.
Concerned viewers have shared their opinions in the comment area in response to the landlady’s conduct in the video.
