A Ghanaian landlord has vowed to eject his tenant after the young man bought an air conditioner and installed it in his room.
Expressing his frustration in a video shared on social media, he noted that the young man pays GH¢100 (N8,447.19) monthly rent yet has been able to afford an AC.
In his view, this act by the tenant is a clear indication that the man values an air conditioner over having a roof over his head, hence his decision to eject him.
"This man rented this place at GH¢100 per month. He rented it for two years, making GH¢2,400 a year but has been able to buy an air conditioner worth GH¢4,500. He's trying to tell me that the Air con is more important than the room," he said.
