One thing I dislike about been a tenant is when landlords impose renovations on youth building without adequate information or time. For a few months now, our landlord suddenly appeared and decided to renovate the entire building to give it a unique taste but in the process of doing that, we were given a 4 month quit notice to vacate the premises. At first we thought it was after we move out they would renovate the building but unfortunately they started renovating while tenants are still in the building which is quite dangerous.

When the prompt came out about an unbelievable 24 hours of my life, was due to the loud noises we encountered in the course of renovation. If you are familiar with how construction works, you would know that noises and pollutions are a lot. The other day, these people found out a plumbing issue where water was leaking and needed to be repaired. Instead of informing the people on how there would be loud noises and air pollutions, they claimed that they had informed us to move out despite still in the period given to us.

That day was so unbearable and caused a lot of health issues because of all the processes involved. At first, the plumber had to chisel the tunnel via making loud sounds by breaking the cemented place. The sounds produced by these were so loud that it could deafen someone. That was how when they were removing the old tiles from upstairs, I and my neighbors were so frustrated but could not do anything about it. I experienced serious headaches that day, that made us hasten our search for another apartment.

Although, one of the hassles of house hunting is the fact that, you do not get what you want in a particular apartment. One has to be careful so as not to fall into the hands of scammers. One apartment we saw one time, the guy asked us to pay a part payment of 300k so that they can complete the necessities remaining. Prior to people's experience on social media, we were not going to fall for that.

In all, that day was so chaotic because of the loud noise we had to deal with. It was indeed bad and honestly can't wait to move out because apparently, people don't care about other and tend to breach agreements anyhow they can.
