A young Cotonou lady expresses her frustration by wreaking havoc on her former landlord's property. The destruction stems from the landlord's refusal to refund the caution fee after the lady moved out, a situation vividly captured in a circulating social media video.
The video highlights the emotions of the ex-tenant, who, feeling aggrieved by a breach of the agreement, took matters into her own hands to convey her discontent.
In real estate law, the caution fee is defined as a payment made while renting a property. It represents a percentage of the annual rent and is non-refundable if damages or outstanding debts are incurred at the end of the lease.
According to the lady featured in the trending video, her landlord refused to return the caution fee upon her departure from his premises.
Driven by anger, the video depicts her destructive actions, including breaking water closets, switches, electric sockets, and more within the house. She further defaced the room's white walls with red oil and punched holes in them.
The lady shared the video with a caption that read, "Kindly use my caution and fix your house #cotonou229🇧🇯."Â
