Landlord accuses tenant of destroying house
The landlord, known on TikTok as @betaman_official, shared a video showing the devastating state of his property after the tenant’s eviction.
The clip revealed a trail of destruction, including damaged ceilings, broken appliances, and spoilt door handles.
According to the landlord, the tenant had converted the residential property into a bakery, despite his clear intentions for the property’s use.
The landlord claimed that the tenant’s actions had caused great damage to the property, which was handed over to the tenant in good condition.
His frustration also stemmed from the tenant’s alleged disregard for the property and its intended use.
The landlord had reportedly taken legal action to evict the tenant, who had paid a caution fee of N250,000.

He felt that this fee was insufficient to cover the extent of the damage caused by the tenant to his property.
In his words:
“Some tenants are uselesss. Maybe I should post the face of this animall. We just evicted this tenant through court order. When we collect caution fee, some of you will be opening your mouth to say nonsense about caution fee. Can you take a look at what they did to someone’s property?
“Turning this particular section into a bakery. You turn a residential house into a bakery. Destroyed everything in the house because of caution fee of N250k wey em pay. Almost all the door handles spoilt. And this house was given to him as a brand new house.”
