Landlord impregnated my niece

Dear Obaa Yaa,

I am very angry with my landlord. He impregnated my niece and when I took the matter up, he has asked us to leave his house.

He has refused to pay for her upkeep and I have also refused to pay for the rest of the rent for the last year of my agreement with him.

I do not intend leaving my current accommodation. My landlord has threatened to kill me. My wife is also putting pressure on me that we should leave. What should I do?

A.B,

Bogoso.

Dear A.B

If your landlord has impregnated your niece then he must be made to bear the financial responsibility that comes with it.

Seek legal advice on how he should care for your niece and at the same time work out an accommodation arrangement since your agreement with him has not yet expired.

I hope your landlord would reason with you and make it possible for you to stay there. However, if he does not, you will need to report his threat of death to the police and begin to look for alternative accommodation.

But whether the accommodation issue is sorted or not, your landlord must take care of that pregnancy and child to be born even if it means taking him to court.
