- The landlady said Teacher Belinda does not sweep well and she wants her to move out of her house
A Ghanaian teacher posted to a rural area shared her frustrating experience with her landlady, who seemed bent on evicting her from the house.
Teacher Belinda said she has lived in the big compound house with shared facilities for three years and until recently had no issues with anyone.
In a post on X, she narrated that as a female tenant, one is obliged to sweep the compound and the surroundings of the building for a week, and another tenant does the same for the next week.

“On your last day of sweeping, scrub the bathroom, burn the toilet trash, and scrub the toilet as well. This task is for women only.”
Teacher Belinda said she has done this for the past three years when it was her turn without fail. When it got to her turn recently, she did the usual sweeping at dawn to prepare for work in the morning.
She said she later heard a knock on her door followed by her landlady shouting and claiming she did not sweep well, so she should move out of the house.
The landlord, whom Teacher Belinda pays her rent to, came to apologise for his wife's behaviour.
Netizens urge teacher Belinda to move out of the house

Talk to the landlord so he sets a meeting with you and the landlady to see what the problem is. If she doesn’t say anything just be preparing to leave the house when your time is due, Kafra s3 wo experience wei

Clearly she wants u out. Just trying to find a reason hence, "wompra yie" which ain't the case also. Forget her and find a new place. U deserve your peace

Just try to apologize to her first, and if she continues , you find another place for your peace of mind.

Regardless, what the landlady did and is doing is totally out of the box. Let her know clearly her actions are wrong and that you're displeased. When your rent expires, leave the house for her.
