A man has narrated how his dad, a landlord, handled an agent who tried to cheat prospective tenants.
He claimed his father discovered the agent was trying to add more then 50 per cent on top of the agreed rent before renting to unsuspecting tenants.
When the landlord discovered this, he slashed the rent for the tenant and this angered the agent.
Narrating the incident on X, the landlord’s son wrote: “So, my dad had a 2-bedroom flat for rent at #600k. A guy came to check it out, claiming it was for his sister. He wanted to pay, but dad insisted on meeting the sister first.
“Next day, the ‘sister’ shows up with her fiancé, saying they’re getting married next month and need the place urgently. Dad asked how much they were told to pay in total, and they said #950k. Dad just laughed, knowing the guy was an agent. He told them to pay #350k as his wedding gift to them. They left happy.
“Now the agent came this morning, fuming and shouting at my dad for ‘ruining his business.’ Baba just sat there laughing.
“Not every hustle deserves protection, some deserve disruption.”
