Lady says rent was increased from N80k to N150k
Identified as @fresh_lily, the heartbroken student shared her pain, explaining that her annual rent had been raised from N80,000 to N150,000.
This increase has left her struggling to make ends meet, despite her best efforts to work hard and save.
With her story, she hoped to bring to bare the challenges faced by many students in Nigeria, who are often forced to cope with rising living costs on limited budgets.
When confronted over the increment, the landlord allegedly told her that if she could not afford the new rent, she should vacate the premises.
