A landlord has sparked debate online after allegedly removing a tenant’s door due to unpaid rent.
According to reports, the landlord, accompanied by a local community elder, visited the tenant’s house and removed the door in an attempt to force her out of the property.
A video of the incident has since gone viral on social media, showing the distressed tenant questioning why such action was taken against her. In the clip, the community elder is heard saying he was acting on instructions from higher authorities.
The woman later shared the video online, attracting reactions from many Kenyans.
Many social media users condemned the landlord’s actions, saying disputes between landlords and tenants should be handled through legal procedures instead of actions that could leave tenants without shelter or security.
Others noted that many families are struggling financially due to the tough economic situation and called for understanding and dialogue when dealing with rent disputes.
