Many netizens shared how the landlord threatened to beat them up at the slightest provocation and also did not allow them to get water from elsewhere when it was evident that the tap in the apartment has not been flowing for days.

The house, as many of its residents recounted, has no ventilation. The only ventilation was through the door which leads to the room. It is also said that the ground floor of the property is gradually sinking.

The first post about the house was shared by a Twitter user by the name of Alex Oluwatobi and others took to the comments section to share their experiences.
