A fed up landlord in Nyeri town recently kicked out an errant tenant who had made everyone’s life unbearable over a constant stream of female visitors.
The landlord who lives in a compound that has several rows of rental rooms at Kamakwa estate was angry with the tenant whose visitors sometimes called at very ungodly hours.
Though an otherwise good tenant who paid rent strictly on time, his loose morals became a grave concern for everyone else in the compound.
The landlord, who is in his 60s, and other tenants were baffled by the man’s insatiable and indiscriminate sexual appetite.
Weather-beaten
Today you would see a chubby-cheeked college lass duck in and get ushered out after two hours. Moments later would be a plum 40-something old mama in a well laundered skirtsuit, obviously an office worker, who would stick around until 8pm. Three hours later, her slot would be taken by a weather-beaten, wig-donning hag with the hallmarks of a cheap hooker coming to stay for the night.
A stickler for keeping time for his ‘visitors’, the driver who works for a government agency lived alone with the wife back at his rural home. Neighbours who knew him as an indiscriminate "wild game" hunter could hardly remember the few occasions when his wife visited.
The errant tenant was generally blamed for the mess at the refuse dump in which used condoms were carelessly disposed together with other household rubbish, much to the annoyance of his neighbours.
Open gate
Most of them were disgusted that the landlord’s hens occasionally nibbled on the dump but considered it none of their business as they were barred from keeping livestock in the compound anyway.
What they constantly complained of was that the amorous man occasionally left the common gate open to ease accessibility for his ‘contraband goods’.
On one such occasion, the angry landlord almost kicked him out of the plot when he left the gate ajar only for mongrels to invade the compound in the wee hours of the night for a wild, noisy orgy.
The landlord, who had to wake up and lock the gate after ending the dog’s party, had to beat a hasty retreat when he confronted the errant tenant over the previous night’s carnage.
"Anybody could have left that gate open. Don’t blame me when you don’t have concrete evidence.
I got here at around 6pm yet you don’t want to confront those who come at 8pm and 9pm," countered the angry tenant forcing the landlord to give up his disciplinary crusade.
But the tenants Waterloo came when the landlord’s grandchildren came visiting during the midterm break.
Disgusted
The shocked old man is said to have met his three grandchildren competing to blow air into some ‘balloons’, which turned out to be badly disposed evidence of the amorous man’s previous night’s extra curricula activities.
Disgusted beyond measure, the landlord is said to have read the riot act to the embarrassed tenant that evening and ordered him to vacate the premises within 24 hours.
