A Kenyan landlord shocked the occupants of his building with the action he took to try and secure rent payment from them.

The landlord from Kunda Kindu area in Kitui town of Kenya locked the gate to his tenants’ apartment with a live snake because they failed to pay up their accumulated rent arrears comprising September and October.

The man identified as Samuel Kioko discreetly wrapped the snake on building gate while the tenants were away for work.

Tenants returned home to see the moving snake which is said to be a diabolical one as it failed to crawl away from the gate despite not being bound.
