A Nigerian lawyer has gone viral on social media after sharing how she tactfully handled her landlord’s sudden attempt to increase her rent.
Landlord Attempts Sudden Rent Increase
The female lawyer, identified on X (formerly Twitter) as @ChisomAgbafor, narrated that her landlord recently informed her of a rent increase without giving any valid reason.
Surprised by the sudden change, she decided not to argue verbally but instead responded in a way that completely turned the situation around.
Her Smart Move That Changed Everything
Rather than confronting her landlord emotionally, the lawyer said she wrote him a formal letter, asking him to justify the reason for the rent increment.
She explained that after sending the letter, the landlord never repliedand never increased the rent either.
