Nigerian Landlords Increasing Rent Amidst COVID-19 Pandemic

By Nene Ifeyinwa

World wide, different sectors of the economy are taking a massive hit, but some people have chosen this 

period of Covid-19 to increase rents. My landlord is one of them. We can only run to our government to put a check on this. 

In some countries, they have stopped collecting rents and other utility bills, but ours is increasing rents.

Yesterday, my landlord increased my rent by 200k. 

I can't explain how shocked I am about this kind of insensitivity and I may not be the only one. 

Please Folded hands join me as I reach out to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to stop Landlords from increasing rents because of Covid.
