Nairobi, May 26 -- RENT WOES: As the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic continue to bite, with a number of tenants, including those who genuinely can't pay rent, causing a lot of annoyance to the landlords. To ensure that they pay up, some landlords and agents are devising ways to fix defaulters, as Janet Mwariama has found out. At Kikuyu, in Kiambu County, one landlord has disconnected water and electricity to an apartment block. This, she finds rather callous in these Covid-19 crisis days. "The tenants have been pleading, in vain, with the landlord, who is insisting on full rent payment, having instructed his agent to effect the disconnections." For the details, Janet's contact is jmwariama@aol.com.
