While living abroad in Croatia, a South African woman shared that her landlord locked her and her child out of their rental home. Unfortunately, she also brought forth claims of physical assault that she experienced.
Basetsana Horing took to her TikTok account (@bassyhoring8) to share a few videos of her struggles living in the Eastern European country. In one of the viral posts, the mother of a little Croatian-born son shared a clip of herself and her child sitting outside a closed door of a house they presumably stayed in while living in the country.
The Mzansi woman (who only had one bag of clothing with her and is currently going through a divorce) claimed that the landlord, Dennis Miletic, locked the mother-and-son duo out of their home that she fully paid for.
She also shared in her caption:
"Our stuff, everything was still inside! This was after my return from the embassy, where I applied for my son’s visa."

Other videos Basetsana posted on the app showed her alleging that she was "badly beaten" by her landlord and his two sons after trying to get her belongings and that the police were of no help.
"There is nobody to defend me here," she sadly said.
What led up to their eviction?
Speaking to Briefly News, Basetsana shared that she had been complaining about Dennis entering the flat.
She further alleged:
"One day, I caught him taking a video of my son and instructing him on how to pose while he was in his underwear. I was in the shower, and my son was watching cartoons in the living room when the man came in with his key. I confronted him, and he was full of rage.
"I also had a problem regarding the shower, which was working poorly. I complained about it for months. On 4 August, he stormed into the apartment and ordered me and my five-year-old son to leave. I told him to give me my remaining two weeks' money and deposit. He got even more upset."
Basetsana claims that Dennis then switched off her electricity, removed her doors, took her keys, and even threw out her clothes. Unfortunately, the police took Dennis' side and allegedly tried to force her to sign a form in a language she didn't understand.
"Two days later, I went to Budapest, Hungary, to seek help from my embassy. When I came back, I found the locks changed. I felt like I was in the middle of a horrible dream."
