Don't wait for ANYTHING!!! You think there is anyone who'll pay you the arrears?? Such behaviour should be met by unproportionally brutal force! Don't take bull crap from anyone messin with your family or your property. Not even for a minute! I feel like jumping out of my shoes - or is it skin - reading this! The effort, planning, sacrifices etc. you need to put up a flat and then a son of a b!tch comes from nowhere and says he's not paying rent??? Bloody hell!!! In my flat??? You are kidding me! Military mind my friend. Military mind!! You've got to take what's yours!

The problem is not only in baba dogo. All the way from there going thro Koch,kariobangi (both of them), kayole, Dandora, these people are the headache of the landlords. It is so bad i know a mzee who will no longer let his houses to them. So the trick they use is to send emissaries on their behalf. They don't pay rent on time and when they do you will think it is a favour they are doing you. They move out in the night without notice and with arrears in rent.

Which Babadogo is this..

Chuki itakuuwa wewe..

Raila came back on 31st May, wamekataa kulipa rent miezi ngapi?
Baba Dogo wapi?
Give us the name of the flat or something.

Hii kiwaru itakumaliza kijana.

Spreading lies.

Bw. N****.. know you cant hide behind the screen!!!

Reading this shows our level of understanding .... react to anything/allegation without getting facts. That will surely send us to doom. what if, just what if this is not true and we are already up in arms

Probably, just probably, rent is paid on 5th of the next month... which means, May rent might not have been paid. Now, it depends on the reasons given for this non payment. if it is some financial strain somewhere, then it shouldn't be tied to baba coming back. However, if the tenants looked into your eyes and out-rightly told you they wouldn't pay because baba/uhuruto/PK this and that, then you probably are dancing to a different song which saba saba or more waiting wouldn't solve.

I think the best thing is not to give a reply to such things...only escalates issues,if a court order is needed let the landlord get one,lets not group along tribal lines on such issues,when the guy gets rent does he distribute it to you?This are personal matters that should be dealt with on a personal level...

I'm glad that I sound Kenyan. How else can we have 'dialogue'?

I lost a friend in a 'jeshi' foray, and I believe it was earlier than Narc.

If you take a look at the Nairobi slums, and 'estates' like Kariobangi, Dandora, and the like, you'll find a tendency of an ethnic group dominating in property ownership and another dominating in settlement, or an ethnic group both 'owning' and residing on a designated piece of land.

This in effect leads to formation of self protecting groups given the political and economic situation of the capital city where one must either own property or pay for it.

We must remember that in this case work opportunities are programed by the economic system that defines the State, and are limited-a reason why politicians promise jobs to ease pressure on the cash flow disparity.

But because politicians can't create jobs, and the jua kali sector is a low wage earner, and given inflationary pressures, then it is inevitable that @coolbull's matter will arise and smack of negative ethnicity.

Solution? Form multi-ethnic jeshis to spur cash flow - the real purpose of an army.

Remember Sun Tzu; the greatest general wins without violence.

Unaweza pia angukia i know one who moved to the main house of his landlord a spaciuos bungalow while the owner moved his family to one of his rentals and its clocking over 10 years

I shudder to name it.... I saw it in 2008 beginning and as people were happy to see 'it' rise - I warned them (even on the precursor to wazua) but they did not listen to me. a few months down the line 'it' became a problem even to those who supported 'it's rise.

I blame the poor landlord!
