As I type this, I'm confused and don't know the advice to offer my co-tenant.
I live in a selfcon, I have a co-tenant who lives in two bedroom besides my own apartment. This co-tenant has four kids. He packed into the house in November last year. But before he packed in, the house was in a delapidated state and almost unhabitable. He renovated the house and packed in.
After two months of packing in, our landlord sold the apartment and asked him to move out. The tenant feels he has been used by the landlord because he took his time to fix that house before moving in. The landlord has agreed to give him a balance of whatever is left from the rent since he's already spent five months in there, but same landlord refused to take responsibility for the payment of any expenses incurred in the renovation of the apartment carried out by the tenant.
There's a serious altercation between the landlord and the tenant now.
What is the advice to the tenant Please?

Stop renovating people's house. Na him loose

Why renovating a house that does not belong to you?

There is this misconception about house palava. Except if you build a house for rent, personal house is not an asset but liability instead

Stupid renovations everywhere

The landlord is right. I see a lot of people renting a place and giving it a facelift just to satisfy themselves. If the landlord gives you a quit notice after one year, you can do nothing.
