Lady relocates after landlord increased her rent

The sudden increment left her with little choice but to make immediate plans to leave the property.

She later put up a video showing the process of moving out of her rented apartment.

The clip gained attention online and caused many people to comment on her situation.

Identified on TikTok as @Pelumi, she posted a clip of her relocation and explained why she decided to vacate the apartment.

She stated that her previous rent was N1.2 million but the landlord suddenly pushed it up to N3.2 million .

Faced with that increase, she chose to return to a house in Port Harcourt that belonged to her father.

She mentioned that her father was a landlord himself and had constructed a room there specifically for her, which she considered ideal.

She also expressed disbelief at the level of increment and questioned how landlords in Lagos expected tenants to manage such demands.

The video showed her packing and leaving the rented accommodation to Port Harcourt.

She lamented that the increase represented 150 percent of the former amount, which she found unreasonable.

Rather than continue with the tenancy, she opted to move back to her family home.

In her words:

“Going back to the house that my father built for me cause my landlord decided to increase my rent from N1.2 million to N3.2 million. Na once I remember say my papa na landlord for Port Harcourt and he built me the room of my dreams, lmao. Anyways the way Lagos landlords are moving left these days, why would you increase rent by 150% do you think we’re picking money from the ground? Abeg o.”
