Pay up or get out! Nairobi’s slumlords | DW Documentary
Residents of Nairobi’s slums who can’t pay their rent get evicted and end up on the street. Over 90 percent of these tenants live in rented corrugated-metal shacks owned by slumlords with terrible reputations.
The slumlords of Nairobi mercilessly exploit the poorest of poor. One young man was shot and killed over five months’ rent, while…

It's Kenya not Kenia
This is so exaggerated. But It's a business, you cant just live free on a land someone owns.
Thats a well-spoken gang member. It is as if he saw a foreign news crew and decided to play gang-member. Such people are often uneducated and with a poor grasp of foreign languages
lauries boys and i
jodi welch brecht starts to cry
none such mince meat pie
Sad 😢
I wonder if they wouldn't be better off living and building their homes in the jungle. No dwelling is worth your life.
30 euros for rent there??? Im in shock. I lived in Nairobi in 2022. My gf rented a spacious 30sm flat in a decent neighborhood for 7k shilling, or 58usd. Something doesnt add up here. Two people can share a lovely flat for 30 euros each
This landlord was one of the worst specimens of humanity. Total narcissist.

The rich and corrupted Nigerian politicians and businessmen must be the slumlords customers. They are doing nothing to improve the social situation. Do the dwellers in this slum pay for water and electricity? In the South African slums, they steal them, don't have to pay. Anti-corruption is not observed in many countries, especially in Africa. The citizens need to rebel against the government. The international community can freeze the assets overseas of the wicked Nigerians and other nationals.
This sounds exactly like Monopoly board game
6:09 that broke my heart.
I feel so sorry for the woman.
I wish government in my state of California would waive my $10,000 property and help me pay $4,000 mortgage if they want me not kick out tenant. Lots of landlords lost their property because tenants live rent free during covid. Landlords still have to pay bill during covid
The concept of a landlord is criminal.
Africans!!! Yani your main concern is pronunciation,,, how is mispronunciation disrespect,,, the same way you can also make the mistake coz we don't speak same vernacular language different
7:54 You end up paying more than the Ksh 6,000 the tenant owes you…! The rent is Ksh 6,000? Or what does he mean?
This is preying on the poor. All these reasons why this world has to be judged.
That guy is cool
The slums are now being upgraded
i’d like to give that lady some money, like a years rent, but no way of getting it to her:(
I grow up in a family of descending business owners, everyone in my family owns or had owned a business as their source of income. Growing up being taught how to run a business by my father have always created some sort of moral dillema. Ofcourse my father doesn't result to illegal activities and or including violence, but as a result i've always tried to put myself in the business owner's perspective on things like this. In no way i condone violence for anything, but in a hard country like Kenya, it may possibly be the only way. I don't expertise in business that involves other people's livelihood, very far from it. However, my dad has always taught me to not involve feelings (even with relatives) to business activities. imagine being a captain of a ship and always letting anyone to come in, somewhere somehow someone will enter the ship and mess things up. But i digress, i just wonder if we can really blame the "slumlords" here, not for the violence ofcourse, but with their way of doing business in general.
This is Kenya not general Africa
