Hi good people, I moved into a house sometime in Oct 2011 and have been paying rent on time.

I later discovered this house has a water dispute between the landlord and NWSC since 2005 way before I moved in and my verbal agreement with the landlord was that I pay monthly usage as he deals with the arrears.

Unfortunately he hasn't been paying the arrears and now NWSC disconnected water 2 months ago, I have been tapping water from my neighbor to fill my tanks twice weekly (at a fee).

This month I told the landlord that I will not pay rent until he sorts out the water issue but now he is threatening me that 'I will see who between the two of us is a MAN if I don't pay'.

Has anyone ever encountered such a scenario ?

How do I deal with this chap ?

Where can I seek redress ?

No agreement was signed,

He brought me a draft copy of the agreement but we did not sign it since at that time the water issue was pending and was not included in the agreement.

nope, I can give you his name if you need but he is certainly not Kaigangio...

BTW the house is in Akiba - Langata... just in case you may want to verify if he is 'Kaigangio'

Just move out, had a near situation only that mine was not able to pay a bank loan so they they threw out my stuff and locked the house, the landlord was left with my two months rent deposit...

Problems can get out of proportion, and not only in the wee small hours. Don't let the problems eclipse the Master. Let the Master eclipse the problems.

Are you a plug or a socket? You can just do a gyno (both of you) to know who is the man
