Residents of Zimmerman, a neighborhood in Nairobi County, have been left frustrated by the behavior of a local landlord who has been making noise and disturbing them.
According to Taifa Leo, the landlord would wake up the tenants every morning by banging on their doors and claiming that they were not paying their rent on time.
'You are a very bad man. We will not pay rent. If you continue, we will take action,' one of the tenants said.
However, the landlord's behavior did not deter the tenants, who continued to stand up to him and demand that he respect their rights.
'We have told you this month that we will not pay any rent. You cannot disturb us every morning by saying that we are your children,' another tenant said.
Despite the landlord's claims that the plot was his, the tenants remained firm in their decision not to pay rent until he stopped disturbing them.
