Empty living cum guest dining roomKiN Newsroom, Oslo (Thursday, 03.06.2010)
The Kenyan lady who has been staying in the apartment owned by the family of another Kenyan lady in the posh Oslo estate has finally vacated the premises. The story has it that the owners of the apartment had issued a vacation notice to the renter some six months earlier but since the latter did not have a ready place to relocate, she stayed put despite clear requests from the owner of the apartment. The conflict escalated and nearly turned ugly on several occasions but thanks to police intervention, the tempers have been controlled.
The two parties agreed after several attempts that the renter vacates the apartment as soon as possible and within a given time period of notice. The renter promised to move out and deliver the keys to the apartment to one of the landlord’s contacts in Oslo. When time closed up to the deadline of the given notice, our sources state that the renter decided not to respond to phones from the said contact making it difficult for him or the landlord to know when and where to pick the keys on the former’s departure. The renter however sent a message to the landlord telling her that she will vacate the apartment and throw out things from the basement (store) of the apartment. The landlord requested the renter to leave all that she found in the apartment at the time of moving in as it was.
The landlord visited her apartment this Tuesday after getting wind that the renter had vacated the premises. She was shocked at what met her on entering the apartment since the renter had reportedly taken all the furniture from the once very expensively furnished apartment. There were no wall units, no sofas, dining sets wall paintings and very expensive works of art, all was gone.
According to the landlord, “there is no sign of mercy here, look, they took everything including the heaviest of them, the huge wall unit”, “Imagine not even a bed is to find here, I have to sleep on the floor tonight. This is the craziest thing I’ve seen.” The renter however claims that the landlord had given her the wall unit and the sofas including the rest of the furniture.
The renter has contacted the landlord with unclear messages that the former deems threatening. The renter says she understands the landlord is telling people that the renter “stole” her things. The latter warns the landlord that “we are going to court first with witnesses, (and) then we can have peace”. It is further reported that the renter has warned the landlord that “this time I am not at your mercy”, a threat the landlord does not understand the reason or reaction for.
The landlord is inviting Kenyans to a meeting at her apartment this Saturday at 3pm. The the following invitation has been sent to KiN (names withheld hence JR):
“JR has finally moved out of my apartment after refusing to do so for over 6 months. She has however taken all the furniture and has not handed over the keys. Am inviting Kenyans in Oslo to a meeting on Saturday, 5th. June 2010 at 3 pm at my place to peacefully ask JR to return the furniture and hand over the keys.”
The physical address for the meeting has been communicated to the invited Kenyans and friends of the landlord via SMS.
