Eric Omondi: I was motivated to build my rental apartments in Kisumu after i was evicted in Nairobi West in 2010

Eric Omondi is among a few celebs who own rental apartments. The comedian is constructing a new apartment block in his parcel of land in Kisumu city.

Eric reveals that he was inspired to be a landlord after being evicted from his rental house in Nairobi West. The comedian says he was kicked out by a caretaker after defaulting on rent for five months.

He explains that he was famous and at the same time very broke. Eric’s household items were auctioned after failing to pay the rent.

“Sometime in September of 2010 while living in Nairobi West my house was locked and all my stuff auctioned… I had a 5 month rent arrear… This was during the break between season one of Churchill Live and Season two… I was as famous as I was broke… On that fateful day my neighbours watched in owe as two pick ups carried away my things and as the Caretaker “politely” asked me to step out of the house so he could lock the door… All these happened at midday… AS I walked out of the compound totally dejected…I remember saying to God “You are my LORD make me LandLord one day” Here we are today. Whatever you are going through today do not be dismayed… It could be God setting you up for your greatest moment,” Eric Omondi narrated.

It will be completed soon

Eric shared a video of his project in Kisumu county. The comedian has constructed an apartment block on his parcel of land.
