Title:-
Female New Tenant
I was at home one afternoon when I heard a knock
I went and peeped
It was an unfamiliar pretty face
The second she saw me peeping, she smiled and waved from outside, “Good afternoon sir.”
“Good afternoon” I replied back
“Sorry sir, please can I see you for a second?”
“See me, who are you please?” I asked suspiciously
“Sorry sir, my name is Toyosi sir, I’m about to pay for the apartment next door, and I just wanted to ask you a few questions about the flat.”
Oh, it made sense now. I usually do the same if I’m about to move into a new place. In-fact, the people that just moved out, I met them and also asked a lot of questions before I paid for my place too.
I smiled and came out
“Good afternoon sir, sorry to interrupt your fine afternoon.”
“It’s fine ma, so what do you want to know?”
“Okay, firstly, please, is there outstanding light bill because the caretaker already told me that there’s constant power supply and a lady selling outside confirmed.”
“Oh yes. Power supply is stable here and everyone has their own prepaid. Also, no outstanding bill because my flat and the flat you’re about to rent share the same prepaid.
“Oh, wonderful. You seem nice sir, thank you sir. Em, what about security?”
“Very tight, we have the estate security patrol all night and it’s a gated estate too.”
“Great. Em, one last thing sir…”
“Call me Kingdavid please.”
“Okay Kingdavid, emm, don’t be offended sir, em, you know how it is in some compounds, they say among every 12 there is a Judas.”
I laughed at the analogy because I knew where she was headed, she probably wanted to know if we have a troublesome tenant
“Yes sir, em, sorry, Kingdavid. Very important but I really need to know because the main reason why I’m leaving my former place is because of fights and quarrel. I can’t stand noisy and difficult people.
“I understand.” I replied with a smile
“So, don’t be offended sir, but is there a mad person living in this compound
