According to him, the house came with strict restrictions on when residents could power their heavy appliances.

He revealed that the landlady refused to refund him his remaining months' rent he paid for and decided to keep the apartment keys. However, because of his actions, he disclosed that the landlady has threatened him with an arrest.

He wrote on his X page:

"Finally moved out of my landlady’s house.

The wahala was too much.

No gen after 9pm.

No gen on weekend afternoons.

Too many rules. Had to leave.

Gave her notice. Asked for my 3 months refund.

She said no.

So I left… with the key.

My logic?

Key stays with me until my rent expires in September.

Or she refunds me.

Now she’s threatening to get me arrested.

For a key to an apartment I paid for.😂"

What if she decides to break the lock of your apartment?"

"Just give her the key and forget the past, people are Diabolik, no need of you exchanging words with her give her the key ..the three months wouldn't make you rich."

@maryj_akpan said:

"Let her do whatever she wants, the house is still yours until it expires.

She's just threatening you but it's meaningless."
