No Refunds: Exposing A Rogue Landlord In Nairobi

Many Kenyans especially in urban centres complain about rogue landlords who don't pay back the deposit money.

Here is one story.

Hi Nyakundi,

Can you expose some 'landlord'?

I recently moved out of his apartment, the agents begged me to stay an extra month so I could get my deposit back.

After moving I painted the house (which was unpainted when I moved in). The house was also in a very bad state, they never made any repairs. Worst of all, it is built just next to a seasonal river (possibly illegal).

Sorry for too much details I just need this man exposed.

Two former tenants are also still following up on their deposits( we all moved out in April).. seems he's used to treating people this way. Thanks in advance.

On calls : I have tried to reach him 32 times today since he hang up on me

Here atached are some of the messages (landlord & I). Please also find the landlord's details & state of the apartment- they ignored my pleas to get repair done.

I want him exposed because I have heard many tenants complain of such landlords frustrating them, esp with the deposit refund.

Why you?

You are straight- forward & brave!

If I had a larger platform like you do I would have started a conversation on this matter.

Thanks in advance.
