And now I am at a kind of cross roads. AtlanticSunsets is both in Port Owen and Cape Town. After a seriously bad tenant experience at my Cape Town apartment, Atlantica, in which I managed to evict a tenant who it transpired was a Nigerian drug lord just days before lockdown I am now a little frightened to have another long term tenant there while our government still has a pandemic attitude and moratorium on evictions. The druglord tenant whom I managed to get rid of with three days to spare left my apartment absolutely trashed.
But on the plus side, I now had my property back from Dolly who hadn't been paying rent nor the exhorbitant electricity usage (I guess he was using R1500 electricity per month to run the big aircons to dry all the big bales of wet dagga he was bringing in from his farm at Philadelphia?
And I still had the most amazing view anyone could wish for, but we were going into lockdown, supposedly for 3 weeks although it stretched out to quite a few months, so I couldn't even start thinking about repairs or renovations until the government started relaxing lockdown and travel restrictions in about August 2020
