Lack breeds envy, bitterness sometimes violence.
If the land lord had AC, he wouldn't do that rather he'd look for another way to resolve the issue.

Kobicove:


If the landlord says you should not install an AC on his property for some cogent reasons eh if it's an old building and the walls are weak, I think the tenant should respect those wishes or move to another house

I’d say a building with walls that are too weak to sustain AC is already a safety hazard.

I bet the landlord won’t mention that when he’s looking for tenants. Put it in the description that your house is too weak and can’t sustain AC. Let the tenants make that informed decision before paying for a full year or 2 years of rent. Not after they move in you start giving them rules knowing that they either have to suffer or leave the money they already paid in order to get something else.

Na wa o

I will only laugh and bless him. Or you take it up legally

This is one of the reasons there's tenancy agreement. If the landlord didn't state this in the tenancy agreement, he has no right to damage the AC, and he could be sued. On the contrary, if he did state it, then the tenant deserves whatever that's coming.

No be everything go dey for tenancy agreement.

So a tenant can go and install solar on the roof because it wasn't stated in the agreement that solar s should not be installed on the roof?

600k for ordinary AC? Naija which way?

Kobicove:


Oya make you go take over his property na because of one bloody AC that is worth at most 600K for a brand new unit.

600K is not even enough to do just the foundation of a small bungalow

jmoore:
I watched the video previously.


Question not answered: Are they sharing same metre?

We need the complete story. Even the tenant didn't tell us why the landlord did that.

Exactly. If na shared meter, or the entire property is on estimated billing and the ac is causing increase in bills...and if the landlord is the one footing the electricity bills by himself, then the action, crass as it is, is understandable.

AC's chop power well well.

cococandy:
So the tenant is just supposed to sweat to death? What’s wrong with using AC in a rental property?

Maybe the electricity bills are shared

Cmanforall:

Maybe the electricity bills are shared

That seems weird but I guess I don’t know how things work in that area

This type of landlord can be a wizard better for the young man to park out from that house.

Omo Na wetin sef dey face be this ,landlord talk Sey Na me dey use light cos of AC and fridge while he switches on all house and compound light 24/7 . To make peace reign ,I have to buy units 3 times his own .

Getting my own metre is on the table anyways .

The landlord yawere gaan

Heat and mosquitoes dey finish landlord every night, tenant come dey enjoy AC. Next time him go cut dem light sef

Zonefree:
All these unhealthy old men wey their life battery no reach 8% always look for who to kpai them.

I'm glad the young man handled the situation in a civil way.


Personally, I doubt I'll be this calm and watch another human destroy my property. May God grant me the patience and civility of this young man in chaotic situations. Amen 🙏

You're so right. My anger mood would have been triggered...

Ind

Samsung ac 4 hp that is inverter standing go ask d price
Dont say want u don't know

What a calmness from the tenant? Landlord dey para unto say the tenant dey enjoy very cool Amana.Baba landlord dey beef tenant

Kobicove:
All these one-sided stories sef.

Even people who have never bought ust 50 bags of cement at a go have also started demonizing the landlord for trying to protect his property/investment

That attitude of the landlord is so uncivil.

He should've reported the case to police.
His action can earn him serious charge for malicious damage.

This is one of the reasons why I don't like renting an apartment where the landlord also resides!
Too much wahala!

It's so obvious that this is an inherited landlord ship

Until he goes to price it in the market and hear ₦400k, en mind go dey.

If na me, if he no buy new one, call me pastard.

him preek go shake

Na Police go settle us

My Yoruba Landlord disconnected my AC, I did move out of the apartment, yet the movement was not a peaceful one. Wicked and terrible jealous Landlords

Nah house rent go settle am

I blame government for not regulating these things. Most landlords in Nigeria are demons, they increase rent anyhow and do other unimaginable things to tenants and most times get away with it.


God please don't allow anybody provoke me to this extent because I don't wanna commit murder.......I won't fold my arms and allow somebody destroy my property simply because he's my landlord.

cococandy:

You should have asked if they are using the same meter... Especially if it's prepaid. Something shaa don happen that made devil pushed him to do such...

The tenant no sabi handle issue, him dey talk say "I go fix am again" fuulish man

Govt wahala coupled with landlord wahala

TheGodlyStudent:
Landlord attitude towards tenants are getting very bad this days especially in Lagos.

Not a good one at all.

My own useless landlord just brought a their irresponsible lawyer to inform us that they are adding 100k to my 200k annual rent fee while adding 200k to those paying 400k

They will use the money to buy drugs by God's grace until they decide to have human feeling

Glimpsetv:
This is the shocking moment a landlord deliberately damages a tenant’s air conditioner simply because he doesn’t want AC units used on his property.

The video has gone viral, sparking mixed reactions online.

The big question is: Does a landlord have the right to do this? And what would you do if you were in the tenant’s shoes?
