Lavington Man Says He's Not Paid Rent For 3 Years After Landlord Disappeared

• A man called Classic 105 to weigh in on a discussion about couples keeping properties secret from their partners
• The man told Maina Kageni and Mwalimu King'ang'i that he had not paid rent at his Lavington home after the landlord went missing
• The tenant said nobody had come to ask for rent, prompting mixed reactions from social media users

A Kenyan man has stunned Classic 105 listeners after narrating how he does not pay rent.

How did Lavington man live rent-free for 3 years?

The man living in the upscale Lavington area narrated what happened to Maina Kageni and Mwalimu King'ang'i.

The discussion involved women buying properties and keeping them secret from their husbands, but the caller said men do the same.

“I live in Lavington, and my landlord disappeared into thin air. He has never come. This is the third year I haven’t paid rent. I wonder whether he has relatives,” said the caller.

The tenant speculated that the landlord might have passed away and his family knew nothing about the property.

“Do you know his family?” asked Maina.

“No. I went house hunting, and he gave me the house. I paid him for like a year. He used to come physically to collect rent but disappeared,” he responded.

The tenant further said he had no way of looking for the landlord but hoped he would return someday.

“I am just here saving his rent. The day he will come, he will come. I hope he comes. I always keep his rent.”

The narration elicited mixed reactions from Kenyans, with some joking that their landlords should follow suit.
