I am so heartbroken this morning as my landlord has just sent me a rent increment of about 30% of the initial amount. This is a house I have just moved into February 2020 and I have barely spent two years only for house rent to increase.
Where would I get additional money to pay when my salary has not increased and inflation and prices of everything has equally increased for me.
I have tried to plead to no avail with the children insisting I must pay the new rent because their father is late. The house rent as it is is already overpriced and adding increase to it is not worth it but in Lagos we are always at landlord's mercy.
I will appreciate if anybody can advise on what I can do on this injustice on the part of my landlord's children. To those praying the youth should take over governance in Nigeria, trust me this country would be far worse off if that happens cos our injustice to ourselves is even far worse that the old generation. This children increasing rents are of my age and they are doing what I'm sure their father would not have done if he was alive.
Please I need advice on what to do.
