The tenant, who prefers anonymity for fear of further victimisation, told Mmegi in an interview that her complaints range from faulty areas in the house, such as the hole in the master bedroom's ceiling and the malfunctioning bathroom plumbing system - to problems of what she feels are unwarranted rent hikes.  The latest problem has however left her in a state of paralysis.

"Towards the end of February the landlord told us that somebody new would be moving into the main house at the beginning of March.  Later, he sent me an sms saying we should be out of the guest wing around March 14th or 15th," she said.
