An Anambra landlord has refunded house rent to a new tenant on hearing he is from Ebonyi State.
The affected tenant, Ifeanyichukwu Eluu, who’s a Pastor shared his experience online. He wrote:
“The last experience I had, getting an apartment in Anambra State wasn’t a good one. I had paid 100% for the apartment to the caretaker, preparing to settle in after signing the necessary tenancy agreement the following day.
“But there was a reconsideration afterwards, we had stayed for a longer time in a hotel. So, we needed to quickly move into the property, of which we informed the caretaker about the move. We rushed to get the basic things to equip the house right away and the same evening, we moved into the house.
“Around 12 midnight, I saw an alert of the exact Money I paid to the caretaker. I called him right away, he said the landlord refunded the Money when he heard we’re from Ebonyi State, Abakaliki as generally refered.
“I felt so insulted, embarrassed, as well, very concerned at such level of discrimination again.”
