Why did Brian leave home?

In the recording published on its pages TikTok platform, the young man said that he only stayed at home for a month.

“I kept reporting to them that I had no water. They have iron meters at home that are now rusty due to years of wear and tear. Due to rusty parts, a lot of water leaks from the taps. so I never got them and yet they charged me, it forced me to move out,” he said TUKO.co.ke.

When Brian moved out, the agent told him he would receive his deposit back by August 13th. From then on, they played a game of cat and mouse between them until he finally had enough and went to confront the man at the agent in his office.

Why did Brian have to scream?

“They threatened me, but I also said I would report the matter to the media. I also started screaming so loudly that it attracted many people to the office,” he said.

“They also wanted to deduct KSh 4,000 from KSh 10,000 for painting, but the caretaker signed that I did not have to pay anything for painting and it turned out that I only paid KSh 360 for water,” he added.

Brian urged people not to let agents run off with their money after they moved out of their home.

“Speak loud and clear,” he said.
