A young woman has shared her ordeal online after discovering her first rented room was prone to flooding, alleging that her landlord has since delayed refunding her money and travelled to avoid further contact.
According to her account, she moved into the room only for it to begin flooding barely a week later once rains started.
When she asked the landlord for a refund so she could relocate, he reportedly agreed, but only on condition that another tenant first rented the room.
She said no one has since shown interest in renting it, while the landlord has travelled, making it difficult for her to follow up.
“I’m frustrated and don’t know what to do,” she said, explaining that out of desperation, she moved into an unoccupied room upstairs in the same building, only for the landlord to allegedly send someone to force her out of that room as well.
The woman’s identity, the specific location of the property, and the landlord’s account of events have not been independently verified.
The case has drawn sympathy online, with many commenting on the broader risks first-time renters face when securing accommodation without adequate inspection or legal safeguards.
