Woman Moves to Unfinished Duplex Amid Rent Hikes

A woman known as @preshpriceless on TikTok has relocated to her uncompleted duplex in Port Harcourt due to her landlord's continuous and unjustified rent increases. On September 4, 2026, she posted a video explaining her decision to move into the unfinished structure rather than continue paying what she deemed excessive rent for accommodation that no longer met her needs.
In her video, she expressed that it made little sense to keep paying rent when she owned a property, regardless of its incomplete status. The video gained significant attention online, prompting various reactions from viewers.
While many engaged with her story, some comments shifted focus to the building's design, particularly the size of its windows, which were criticized for being inadequate for Port Harcourt's hot climate.
