These are
the shocking pictures taken by a landlord of his house left stacked with empty
bottles, cigarette ends and food scraps.
This is how
one resident lived for several years, in the home filled with so much rubbish
they weren't able to see their own carpet, let alone walk on it.
The landlord
was left to clear it up when he entered his property after the long-term
tenant, who has not been named, moved out.
Dawn Clarke,
director of property agents Nock Deighton, said: 'This is a landlord's worst
nightmare.
'I've been
in the property industry for over thirty years and this is by far the worst
thing I've ever seen.
'It's absolutely
disgusting, I've no idea how anybody can live like that.
'It just
goes to show how important it is to employ a managing agent and for tenants to
regularly inspect their properties.'
The landlord
– who has asked for the property's full address to be withheld – only suspected
there was a problem when the tenant would not let a gas engineer in to check
the boiler.
Notice was
served, but the tenant fled and left the landlord to face a bill of thousands
of pounds to clean the property and return it to its former state.
