@mr_garday stated: “I will say this. I didn’t bother renovating my apartment cuz I’d already paid two years’ rent, and after that he increased it by 150k, so I didn’t bother fixing anything. Later, he decided to increase the rent of other apartments except my own”.

‎VictoriaIwajomo commented, “They do it because they can always get away with it without any consequences. There’s no law in place to stop such an act”.

@amiXdominic stated, “There are very solid semi-permanent interior design alternatives that you could use in rented apartments that would be easily dismantled and reassembled elsewhere without hassle. Even ceilings sef. Don’t just go crazy renovating another man’s property like it’s Fiona’s castle “.
