He tweeted ‘A #20,000 reduction has been approved and takes effect on their next renewal. Na who see food chop fit pay rent, tins hard’
He said that his lawyer has been directed to inform his tenants of adjustment.
“
With the increase in cost of living currently, I have directed my lawyer to officially write to all my tenants notifying them of a downward review of rents.
A #20,000 reduction has been approved and takes effect on their next renewal. Na who see food chop fit pay rent, tins hard”, he tweeted.
Meanwhile, many social media users thanked him and shared their thoughts on his kind decision.
@UKChioma1; “I think you should your aggression to the appropriate authority for making life and building materials so expensive right now! However, do you even know how much I pay my Yoruba landlord in Lagos state? You wouldn’t want to!”
@sakooniyo; “God bless you real good. My brother’s house is the cheapest in my area. 120k 2 bedroom apartment. He’s not a Nigerian based though but still he makes life easier for all his tenants.”
@callhervine; “What you have done is quite commendable. However, it can’t be a norm because a lot of capital goes into building houses. Some landlords have to repay bank loans. Even if it doesn’t benefit tenants, landlords have to adjust their rates by the cost of living.”
