As they say: the tables are turned. Oniel Joseph, a Guyanese landlord, decided to chain himself to the house, and more precisely to the stair banister, which is rented to a Vendée family due to seven months of unpaid rent. “I chose to squat at my squatter's place.”

A radical decision to force the family present on the premises to give in, according to Guyane la 1re. “I tried to resolve this matter amicably,” the owner said. “I know that sometimes in life, we can have difficulties, we could have come to an arrangement. But for the past two months, the tenant has become aggressive. In fact, he has no intention of leaving the accommodation,” the man said.

“I didn't force the door, I was invited to “return”

The man and his wife Maria Daniel explain that they had already sent a formal notice last January, to no avail… Oniel Joseph joked by declaring: “I didn't force the door, I was invited to come in.” He added that he would therefore remain chained up all night.

Following the police visits, the owners obtained a written promise from the tenant. A letter which stipulates that the family agrees to leave the accommodation on February 27. Oniel therefore ended up leaving his property, under the insults of his tenant.
